I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
Britain’s Jews need allies, perhaps as never before.
I think they also need people who are not Jewish to say where they stand on this profound cultural problem as we stand together at the edge of the precipice.
I stand with them. I stand with Britain’s Jews.
@miriam_cates Stop scaring the elderly Miriam. The vast numbers trying to make ends meet on a fraction of the living wage, having worked and contributed 40 or 50 years, now increasingly unwell with age and being demonised. There was a clear social contract. You can't just upturn it.
