So the Golders Green stabbings have been declared a terrorist incident. Which, being translated, means that the attacker was Muslim – but of course that can never be said.

Met chief Mark Rowley was heckled, but bravely pressed on:

Rowley goes on by saying that antisemitism is “fuelled by hateful and extremist ideologies”.

“It comes from hostile states, the extreme right, and the extreme left. These are terrorist and hateful belief systems but they’re all rooted in racism,” he says.

The commissioner says it’s time to ask some difficult questions.

But never a mention of Islam. Does Britain have a problem with its Muslim population, and an ideological/religious hatred of Jews that seems to be widely taught in their schools and preached in their mosques? That’s a difficult question – that will be avoided at all costs.
