News today is that the Chief Rabbi of France fears that there will be an exodus of Jews from France. They are not fleeing the Front National or far-right groups or the ordinary French Jaques et Jaquelines, they are fleeing members of another religion.

Why, I wonder, do Western governments not tackle this problem instead of whitewashing it? The rise in antisemitism in Europe is not by old school Europeans it is by members of Islam. FCOL let's tell it how it is.

I don't think they can tackle it effectively; all they can try and do is manage the problem.

Interesting thing. Cameron, Merkel and Sarkozy have all said in recent years that multiculturalism has failed. I don't know if that's true or not.
What I do know is that if your car has failed on you, you fix the car. If a light bulb goes out, you change the bulb. You fix the problem.

But none of these three leaders said "Multiculturalism has failed - so this is what we are going to do to fix it". Because I think they know that they can't.

The UK must redouble its efforts to "wipe out anti-Semitism", Home Secretary Theresa May has said.


When did the efforts begin and at what level were they at?

I do not remember seeing posters or public information films telling me not to be antisemitic. I think that might be because they were not needed. Yes, there were jokes about Jews, but there were also jokes about the Irish, Lancastrians and so on. Most of the time we laughed with them or turned the other cheek. It is disingenuous for May and other politicians to make out that we have somehow suddenly become rabid antisemites making plans to maim or kill.

All politicians know where the problem lies but they are scared, yes, afraid to say so. What they do instead is push the blame on us all; we all have to join in the guilt-fest. Well I am not playing their game and I have e-mailed my representative to parliament to tell him so.

She would have been more truthful if she had said

Britain must redouble it's efforts to conquer intra religion intolerance and cross religion violence.


Now that most of NI is fairly resolved, there is pretty much only one place to look to solve that isn't there......

Which is why it was not said.
