Thread Name: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
I'll add for context, that I live in a medium to large provincial west country town,
dominated by an elderly conservative population, and notorious for youth drug related crime....

.. and for a while our street had a hostel harbouring B*P supporting skinhead thugs who threatened trouble to black and asian residents...

[large B*P posters prominently displayed in front windows directly across the road from a young black family - police were aware, but apparently did nothing...???]

If anti-semitism was any major issue at all around here, I'm sure I'd at least be aware of even rumours by now... 😕

Now whilst I have quarter jewish blood, and also have blue eyes and a foreskin, I am obviously not regarded as a jew by their [your ???] religion and culture,
However some extremist white supremacists believe they have such finely attuned 'jewdar' that they could identify me as the 'enemy' within minutes.

In fact, a black Nigerian woman in London once became less friendly after she had suddenly convinced herself I was a jew...???

So, if I think about it there are places I myself would be seriously unsafe from anti-semitism..

That is an actual nasty fact of life, not just paranoid over anxiety...

So, as a potential victim of anti-semitism [fingers crossed, more hypothetical than real threat],
please don't even consider accusing me of ignoring or trivialising the issues...
