Many bad faith responses to Alison Moyet’s post on the effect on her neigbhours of the rise in antisemitism, including denying it’s a thing; diminishing it; arguing ‘something else’ isn’t antisemitic; noting others suffer more; and blaming the victims. Anything but taking it on.
Seeing my Jewish neighbours and friends shrink into themselves as antisemitism rears it’s head again on our shores is heart wrenching. Years now we have trumpeted the righteousness of protecting our nations minorities. We need to remember that need for all as the world hardens.

Except you never respond to your critics, or address yourself to whether your employer might have been responsible for
#Misinformation
during the Pandemic or
#UkraineInvasion
But of course you’ll dismiss your critics as conspiracy theorists who’ve gone ‘down the rabbit hole’.

My sense, Alan, is you tend to associate and fraternise with people who hold similar views to you.
And you tend to read and watch material with which you agree.
Perhaps reviewing

is a discomfitting reminder there are people with good ideas you don’t have arguments against?

Attacking Susan Hall for “racism in Facebook groups with links to Tories”, seriously?
Yet no attacks by you on the Jew-haters weekly on UK streets, some no doubt your party members!
As to Khan, he can’t say ‘antisemitism’ separate from ‘Islamophobia’. For him, Jews Don’t Count.
This is divisive and disgusting.
Sadiq Khan has repeatedly stood by London’s Jewish communities in the fight against antisemitism.
Susan Hall’s dog whistle politics have no place in London.
Will decent Conservatives ever call this out?

But why do you think this is happening?

The inability of ardent Remainers such as Cadwalladr to gain insight into British society when yet again it experiences a political enema is remarkable; as is their ability to describe a 1/3 of voters as ignorant dupes. How many votes would your party get, Carole?

What’s the point of the British Parliament when it rubber-stamps legislation, including excess powers, which is already on the statute books – 16 ‘Nays’ – and prevents itself from reviewing it for 3 months?! Credit
