Jews in #GoldersGreen are attacked like in Nazi Germany. Mayor of London: There is context

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Great to meet Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez in Madrid. At a time when too many leaders are looking the other way, it matters that we stand together. We discussed Gaza, Europe & the shared values that unite London & Spain.

Progressive, internationalist politics is here to stay. 🇬🇧🇪🇸

Two people stabbed in #GoldersGreen , suspect arrested after reports he was targeting Jewish pedestrians. @GaryLineker : there is context

[Lawyer Yair Cohen @CyberLawExpert]

Another stabbing in Golders Green this morning. More than a dozen police cars, ambulances, multiple helicopters, commotion. Not a normal existence for British Jews here in 2026, or any year.

RT @KORRINA31535546: Two Haredi men were stabbed outside a synagogue in the Golders Green neighborhood in London - the stabber was arrested…

What Nobody Is Telling You About Why So Many People In Britain Feel Scared
Almost everyone I speak to says the same thing right now. They have never felt so scared.

People who have never thought about missiles except on TV, watching some far away Middle Eastern country, are suddenly expressing a very personal fear.

So I asked myself: is that fear rational? Or just doom and gloom?

I ask that as someone born into war sirens, who sat in underground shelters as a child and experienced active combat. I know the difference between panic and a legitimate warning signal.

In this short video I look at history and public international law to explain why Britain feels so exposed right now, and why that fear is not irrational.

The League of Nations went from Woodrow Wilson's first proposal to a fully functioning international organisation in under two years. If it can be built that fast, it can collapse just as fast. And we may be watching exactly that happen right now.

Watch and tell me what you think.

Someone Stole My Identity When I was 16 to Catfish Men and Now I Live in Fear

Sasha is 19 years old. For 4 years (she was only 16!), someone stole her identity, built fake accounts with 81,000 followers, and used her dead father's images as content. Men were approaching her in public after being catfished on Hinge and Tinder.

She went to the police. They said social media is a "grey area."
She reported to cybercrime units. Nothing. She reported to the platforms. "Doesn't violate community guidelines."

Four years later she finally has a crime number. The first one.

This week I joined Sasha on ITV to talk about why victims of identity theft and catfishing are being failed by police, and by the platforms.
The law hasn't kept up. The platforms hide behind their own guidelines. And real people are too scared to leave their homes because of it. This mostly impact hashtag#female victims.

If you or someone you know is dealing with impersonation online, don't give up. There are people who can help even when the system won't. https://t.co/XKo2pwvnyi

Catfishing is a horrific crime which, for some reason, the police refuse to investigate. Both the police and politicians, being so dishonest, tell us that we need more laws to tackle catfishing.

The truth is that we already have enough laws which effectively address this crime. The laws are just not being enforced.

It is beyond me why the police will turn up immediately to investigate “offensive tweets”, while far more serious online crimes such as catfishing can go on for years, with victims left to fend for themselves, as the police tell them no crime has been committed.

Catfishing is a form of harassment. Harassment is a crime, and when someone engages in catfishing they are often committing harassment. Simple. https://t.co/9RvzEHsWAy

I want to take a moment to thank my wonderful team.

Every day they help people remove outdated, inaccurate or defamatory information from the internet. The work they do makes a real difference to people’s lives.

Many of the cases that reach us come from individuals who have already tried everything. They have submitted requests themselves, contacted websites and search engines, and still feel stuck.

Helping someone finally resolve a problem that has followed them online for years is one of the most rewarding parts of this work.

Many people know us from the #SweetBobby #Catfishing case and the Netflix documentary.
But catfishing is not rare. It is not harmless. The victim is often an ordinary person who believes in the good in others.
We recently secured £35,000+ for a client after a colleague created fake online identities, built false relationships and manipulated her into sharing private images. This happened in the workplace, carried out by someone she saw every day.
We brought claims for harassment, misuse of private information and breaches of UK GDPR. The defendant admitted the wrongdoing.
Catfishing preys on trust, optimism and decency. It exploits good nature for control and emotional harm. It is invasive, abusive and unlawful. Those responsible can and will be held to account.

Do you REALLY think you read news objectively? 😏 Most believe they do, but newspapers master "INVISIBLE PERSUASION"—framing stories subconsciously to plant guilt, blame, & malice where NONE exists. Headlines, images, context: The Sun, BBC, Daily Mail? All pros at legacy media manipulation! 🚨
Dive into this eye-opening video exposing it all through my client Stephen Belafonte's High Court triumph over News Group Newspapers—shattering defamatory spin on Mel B's allegations. Slow down, question the frame, stay critical! 💥

From Ashes To Glory.
Today I head to the Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, just after Holocaust Memorial Day.
I cannot stop thinking about a forgotten part of football history: the Hungarian Jewish legends who shaped the modern game.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Jewish players and managers helped Hungary dominate football. Clubs like MTK Budapest and Ferencváros won titles and introduced tactics that later spread across Europe and beyond.

For Hungary’s Jewish community, football brought pride and belonging.
Then hate erased so much.

In 1944, the Nazis deported more than 437,000 Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz. Most never returned. Among them were some of the brightest football talents of their generation.

Yet one remarkable legacy survived through Béla Guttmann.
Guttmann was a Hungarian Jewish player and coach who escaped the Holocaust and went on to change football forever. He helped pioneer the attacking 4-2-4 system and became one of the most influential coaches of the 20th century.

He also coached Ferenc Puskás at Honvéd, passing on that Hungarian brilliance. Years later, Puskás became a mentor to a young Ange Postecoglou in Australia, helping shape his football philosophy.

In a remarkable turn of events, Ange went on to bring those lessons to Tottenham and help Spurs win the Europa League, showing how that legacy still echoes today.

Football still carries their imprint, even when history tried to silence them.

As someone who works against hate, I see these stories as a reminder that remembrance matters. We owe it to them to speak, to learn, and to challenge antisemitism wherever it appears.
COYS.
