Mein Gott! Will Mossad have to undertake some strategic assassinations in the UK? Even before the toxic tsunami of xenophobia triggered by the vote for Brexit, public discourse here had been infected by the most appalling anti-Semitism. In 2015 a British newspaper openly suggested that Jews are “outsiders” who are prone to paranoia, arrogance and […]
One of the most memorable stories in Boswell’s Life of Johnson (1791) is about Johnson “passing by a fishmonger who was skinning an eel alive.” Johnson heard the fishmonger “curse it, because it would not lie still.” Boswell said the story was a “striking instance of human insensibility and inconsideration.” Those traits are still flourishing.

The Yorkshire town of Rotherham, that hotspot of vibrancy, is back in the news. A gang of Pakistani Muslims (and two White women) have just been jailed for what the judge described as an “appalling catalogue” of sex-crimes against under-aged White girls.
