Reflects The Despair?

Is Ephraim Mirvis even a British citizen? If so, then when, exactly, did he become one? And what, exactly, qualifies one as a "major religious leader", since the United Synagogue has a nominal membership of 40,000 and a fully active membership that is almost certainly a great deal smaller than that? In any case, those members never signed up to the political opinions of the Chief Rabbi of the day.

Staying with the numbers, fewer than 20 people per year are convicted of anti-Semitic crime in this country. Less than one such conviction per year, on average, is for a violent offence. Is the entire criminal justice system part of the anti-Semitic conspiracy? Or is there no wave of anti-Semitic incidents in the first place?

Oh, and do not think about Jeremy Corbyn's interview with Andrew Neil. Corbyn's supporters hate Neil, anyway. The media in general, the BBC in particular, and Neil perhaps above all. They probably did not even watch it. The Labour vote next month will show the media quite  how many people like that there now were on the Left (there are also people like that on the Right). But the media will pay absolutely no attention.
