Original Note:
Lord Austin has been found in court to have lied. In 2012 he falsely accused Friends of Al-Aqsa of Holocaust denial. In 2022 he was forced by a British court to pay Labour staff, Laura Murray, £40,000, after having falsely claimed that she was an “anti-Jewish racist”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-18304089 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2022/03/17/laura-murray-apology/
