There's only about quarter of a million in the country and aside from London's Hasidic jews, you would be hard pressed to know that any of the others were Jewish unless they actually told you. UK antisemitism is negligible. Though it is of course supposedly increasing according to a bunch of Israeli bogus propaganda outfits basically set up to create a fake crisis of increasing UK "antisemitic incidents". I find great difficulty believing the reports of these organisations because not only do they have an agenda which deliberately confuses anti Israeli with anti Jewish...but the "incidents" they report are so often completely obscure and usually not reported to the police. From a purelt practical point of view, even if you wanted to, how on earth do you create an "antisemitic incident" in most of the UK if you don't know who is Jewish? Do you wait outside a synagogue to identify the Jews because the men might be wearing a kippah ? Park yourself outside a Jewish cemetery to harangue visitors? I don't think most of the public care that much because the don't see it, and they don't see it because it genuinely isn't an issue. When Jeremy Hunt comes out with comments about his visit Auschwitz: "...I rather complacently said to myself ‘thank goodness we don’t have to worry about that kind of thing happening in the UK...Now I find myself faced with the leader of the Labour Party who has opened the door to antisemitism in a way that is truly frightening." -Most people think hes lost the plot. Of course from the point of view of the rabid pro Israeli establishment in both the UK and US its exactly the right thing to say, but hey ho, that's the bubble they live in.
