Zionist Lawfare in the UK

The Zionist smear campaign against the pro-Palestinian, socialist leader of the UK Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, has reached a whole new level, that of lawfare:

"Britain's equality watchdog has said it believes Labour may have 'unlawfully discriminated against people because of their ethnicity and religious beliefs' as it announced the first step of a statutory inquiry into the party's handling of antisemitism complaints. The party said it would cooperate with the regulator, while its increasingly outspoken deputy leader, Tom Watson, called on party officials to ensure no emails or records were deleted.

"An Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) spokesperson said: 'Having received a number of complaints regarding antisemitism in the Labour party, we believe Labour may have unlawfully discriminated against people because of their ethnicity and religious beliefs. Our concerns are sufficient for us to consider using our statutory enforcement powers. As set out in our enforcement policy, we are now engaging with the Labour party to give them an opportunity to respond.'

"The regulator's announcement followed legal complaints made by Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA)* and the Jewish Labour Movement** last year, which have argued that the party was not compliant with equalities law. The move is the first step in an investigatory process by the EHRC, and if the regulator concludes Labour has a case to answer it could go on to open a full inquiry under section 20 of the Equalities Act 2006." (Labour antisemitism equalities watchdog opens investigation, Dan Sabbagh, theguardian.com, 7/3/19)

"May have"?

So why then, on the EHRC's website, do the in-text quotes above appear under the heading "Antisemitism in the Labour Party: our response to complaints"? Shouldn't that be Alleged Antisemitism in the Labour Party... ?

I mean, if the word alleged isn't automatically used in the EHRC's reference to complaints, what confidence can one have in this body's inquiry into the matter? Where is the presumption of innocence here?
