Another outburst from Red Ken

I was looking up the following word in the dictionary...

Demagogue:

n. orator addressing himself to, or using arguments such as to stir, the masses. demagogic, a. demagogism, demagogy, n.

It pretty much sums up London's Mayor, Ken Livingstone who is coming out with increasingly hysterical outbursts. His latest claim is that:

"Over recent weeks we have seen a demonization of Muslims only comparable to the demonization of Jews from the end of the 19th century."

Really? I wasn't aware that Muslims were banned from voting. Nor was I aware of them facing pogroms. Maybe our Mayor should take some history lessons.
