#1 From the BBC website today:
The Labour Party has suspended Lord Ahmed while it investigates the comments reported in the Times. The peer, jailed for sending a text message shortly before his car was involved in a fatal crash, said Jewish owners of "newspapers and TV channels" had put pressure on the court, according to the newspaper. Lord Ahmed has declined to comment. In a statement, the Labour Party said it "deplores and does not tolerate any sort of racism or anti-Semitism". "We will be seeking to clarify these remarks as soon as possible," the statement added. Lord Ahmed is reported to have made the comments in a television interview, thought to have been broadcast in April last year, while he was on a visit to Pakistan.

#2 My case became more critical because I went to Gaza to support Palestinians. My Jewish friends who own newspapers and TV channels opposed this,” he allegedly said in the interview.

Little wonder he was convicted. his Lordship has "Jewish friends"!

#7 Should we accept anti-Semitism to effect change in Britain?

#9 Um... if there was a Jewish conspiracy against you, you would have not have survived that crash. Or your cell phone would have exploded.

#10 yes, several other articles said 16 days was his sentence and was let out after 12 days

he probably got a light sentence because of his title and because he made a confession; I don't think he has a long probation (it would have ended in 2011 after the two year period I think); however, his recent remarks will weigh against him next time
