Britain has always had a streak of anti-semitism coursing through its national veins.

Britain has always had a streak of anti-semitism coursing through its national veins.

Name a country which hasn't, alas. Britain rather less than most, in my experience, at least in the European context.

“Britain has always had a streak of anti-semitism”

These are not Brits committing these crimes.

[the scotsman]

As has America, and every country.

And anti-semitism historically was a preserve of the upper classes(’the Cliveden Set’).Barring the neo-nazi/BNP idiots, native British anti-semitism is almost unknown.Most of it comes from the more extreme Mulsim elements.

In fact,ought,the last figures I saw had a higher US rise in anti-semitism than the UK.But that hardly makes you a bigoted nation...
