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. -
I hear there is a task force on the oceans but I was confused to where it is going - Greenland? The EU or UK in view that the former has a new trade deal and no doubt the PM is after a new one. @Sephiroth The state sponsored killings in the US and Iran got me thinking. Whilst the scale is clearly different it's still hypocritical. Not fact checked but apparently several hundred people are killed each year in the 'States by law enforcement officers. in the UK it's around a couple so corrected for respective populations a couple of percent of the US figures.

The diaspora was largely forced out of the East End a long time ago. The historical antisemitism behind that that is repeating itself again now, very sadly. -
