Attacks on your editorial about the EHRC, Labour and antisemitism are baffling

I am mystified by the vituperative response of some readers to your editorial on the Equality and Human Rights Commission concluding its monitoring of Labour after its investigation into the party and antisemitism (Letters, 21 February).

If they have read the EHRC’s report, they will be aware that, of about 220 complaints that it received via two campaigning organisations, it found unlawful conduct in only two individual cases. In these it held the party responsible for alleged antisemitic statements made by members labelled as agents of the party. The two members are seeking to challenge these findings in the high court.
