Here's a letter from our own Prime Minister explaining it all. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/antisemitism-recent-government-actions-and-next-steps/antisemitism-recent-government-actions-and-next-steps -
What is the evidence for that, exactly? -
I won't thank you at all for posting such nonsense. Antisemitism is rife in London. Week after week for ell over two years people have been out on the street protesting Jews' rights to exist. Jews have been driven out of this country before (as with other European countries) and have to fight very hard all the time to stop that happening again. It happened in East London too in the 1930s, as Hitler rose to prominence. 100,000 citizens of East London signed a petition to block the BUF march in Cable Street. Of course it was ignored and the fascists caused all sorts of chaos across the East End. At least back then the Independent Labour Party were on the right side of history and opposed the BUF march against the Jews. Many of them would be on the other side now supporting Fascism. It's not toxic to state such facts. To flinch from the truth is toxic.

What nonsense. It's social mobility. Huguenots moved to the East End and once they made a bob or two moved to more upmarket areas. Subsequently Jews. Now Bangladeshi, particularly making a pretty penny once the hipsters moved in. Antisemitism was a small factor and this was a generation or more ago. "Jewish people moved out of London's East End between 1900 and the 1950s primarily to escape overcrowded, impoverished conditions and seek better housing and improved social standing in the suburbs." I expect few of us living in the area have witnessed first hand antisemitism. We may well have seen racism against black, brown people and maybe Eastern Europeans. Anti Irish sentiment was still prevalent 30 years ago - partly due to the troubles but partly some British superiority complex encouraged by generations of lewd comedians, Glad that is behind us now. Why do you have to make such toxic comments? You'd be better off doing some research and educating yourself. Here's some reading: https://www.ideastore.co.uk/local-history/collections-and-digital-resources/user-guides/migration-and-communities-in-the-east-end You don't have to thank me.
