Stone cold warning from history

ANTISEMITISM, it is often said, never completely disappears. It only sleeps. And to our national shame, it is wide awake again in this green and pleasant land.

I fear there is some way yet to go before the hobgoblin of anti-Jewish prejudice in Britain is tamed and subdued.

There will be more terrorist attacks (another suspicious fire this week at a north London Jewish-owned business), more threats and public abuse and more vile chants during marches and rallies thinly disguised as pro-Palestine events.

More of my lovely Jewish neighbours, in the part of Golders Green where Judy and I have lived for 30 years, will consider quitting Britain for good, preferring the risk of rockets and drones in Israel to living under the shadow of thuggish, murderous prejudice here. Some have already gone.

British-born, British people forced out of the country they love by bullying, racist thugs. Heartbreaking.
