Watch out for more Jews on the pro-Corbyn counterdemonstration tonight than on what is supposed to be the main event, and for far more Jews who hold only British nationality.
Watch out for the staff of a foreign embassy standing in the streets of London and demanding that the Leader of a British political party be removed, if not assassinated.
Number of Jews in the United Kingdom: 263,346 (2011 Census) or 292,000 (2010 estimate by the Jewish Virtual Library), of whom none of these bodies can legitimately claim to be representative.
Number of votes for Jeremy Corbyn in the 2016 Labour Leadership Election: 313,209.
This week is the beginning of the end of the Board of Deputies. People are finally going to ask, "And who are you, exactly?" Very few have ever even heard of the Jewish Leadership Council.
There is also the question of the charitable status of the Holocaust Education Trust, the Campaign Against Antisemitism, the Community Security Trust, and so on.
