Residents of Golders Green booing and offensively chanting at the father of Jewish children. These already radicalised, hysterical lunatics don't get a free pass in a situation when cool heads are the only possible route out of this febrile shit show.

I've mentioned before that I don't like saying it, but some sections of the Jewish community do seem to think that there's only one form of discrimination.

Certainly, but that's true of all minorities that have been discriminated against, the obvious recent example being Diane Abbott's ludicrous claim that only black people are subject to racism. It's not complicated, people are more acutely aware of discrimination when they're the target. Plus it is also true that currently Jews are, proportionately, suffering more discrimination than any other minority.

You are missing out the one true form of discrimination. Announce a programme to provide additional training or opportunities for an under-represented minority and you will find out who the real victims are.

Irony being he’s probably the only leader who is willing to tackle antisemitism in his party. The rest are eithier dabble in it such as Farage and Zack or ignore it such as Badenoch.

Not sure what Davey’s position is though I’ve not heard much from their representatives.

There is a thick seam of the Niemöllers running through this, and that is a good thing.

I'll qualify that "good thing" if it means that there will now be concerted action to tackle the record highs of hate crimes aimed at Muslims with 4,478 crimes being recorded in the year ended March 2025.

Surely it's a good thing to tackle all hate crimes?

[kreuzberger]

That is exactly the point I was making.

That is exactly the point I was making.

If that was your point, it would have been more effectively made if you hadn't singled out one group with the implied exclusion of all the others.

Nah, I'm fine mate. I'll let that post stand alongside almost 20 years on here of posting opposition to hobby bigots and the opaquely-funded fash.

It takes a bit more effort than "All life's matter", but I'll bear that cross.

Here we go again.
A kosher supermarket in Golders Green has burnt down this morning, the cause is yet to be confirmed by the Fire Brigade, but arson is suspected. Thankfully nobody is reported dead or injured.

If it is arson, the police will no-doubt arrest someone in due course.
As usual, the racists, bigots and conspiriloons on social media will have already made up their minds -
it's the Muzzies,
it's the Jews,
it's the Left,
it's the Far Right,
it's MI5
it's Saddiq Khan
and when arrests are made there will be justifications -
it's peaceful protest against Israel,
it's defendin are cuntry.
it's not racist cos only *insert non-Jewish ethnicity* suffer racism
It's all so predictable and dull...unless you're Jewish of course, in which case it's fucking terrifying.
But that's ok for reasons.
