It does I agree.
We are a small Island with many creeds and religions,it’s obvious we can’t all get along or want to. |
Really disappointed you are taking this kind of rhetoric on a thread were a member of a minority ethno/religious group has been harassed by a white British bloke.
British people have been persecuting Jews as far back as the 12th century.More recently, my wife's grandfather changed his name from Cohen to Cowie during the 1930's.
This isn't recent phenomena caused by immigrants of different religions arriving in this country.

It looks quite physically intimidating too as when you see Lucas talk to him he is clearly much, much taller than him |
Lucas has been made fair game by Dr David Miller, who is now a mouthpiece for the Iranian regime on Press TV alongside Chris Williamson.
Miller claims schools including Yavneh College and Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School (now Haberdashers’ Boys’ School) were influencing students to promote Zionism. He named Matt Lucas and David Baddiel as former pupils of Haberdashers and claims they are part of a Zionist plot to infiltrate the BBC.
It's since been revealed that the bloke harassing Lucas is a nasty piece of work who was recently arrested at a pro Palestinian demo. | |

Last year I went to the Imperial War Museum, and there's a bit in there with old newspapers from just before the start of WW2.
The language used there was not dissimilar from the language used now by anti-refugee people. Talks of an "invasion", repeated use of the word "alien", saying we're an island and we can't take too many etc.
It was quite chilling. [Post edited 16 Feb 12:10]

Not just this country. I think you’d be hard pressed to find any country that hasn’t engaged in persecution or discrimination (not sure of the most accurate term) in some shape or form literally since before nations as such existed.
Solutions? No idea bar fighting it if you personally see it. |  | | |

Unfortunately you're missing the point. Reform and the rhetoric they use demonises the present day immigrant population and refugees with the same language that has been used to persecute Jews for over two millennia. The same 'othering'. The same taking your jobs. It's the same playbook.
edit. Just seen Dan made a similar point about the rhetoric. Anyway, I'd rather this thread got back on track. [Post edited 16 Feb 13:02]

I'd have had no idea either but also would say something. That social media acts as a megaphone for idiots shouldn't be mistaken for suggesting their views are more widespread than they really are.
[The other video posted (not by you) on here isn't evidence of a "Jew hunt."] |
Britain 2026 - there are a lot of Jewish school kids who are being escorted to school by security guards simply because they are Jewish. It’s like the Deep South of the US where black kids were being targeted by vile racists. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
And unfortunately antisemitism (like other forms of racism) is on the rise.
Politicians of all parties are responsible for this environment - but when May went on about creating an hostile environment and to Stramer who has tried to get on the Reform bandwagon. But obviously Farage has gone further then all other mainstream politicians. |  | | |

I never said it was, one incident is one too many but social media allows it to become amplified. For example this Matt Lucas one would have passed me by if not posted on here. |
It's now reached the mainstream press. Which it probably wouldn't have done without social media.

There is a reality, which the article suggests is 3 to 4,000 incidents...there is an atmosphere around this issue at times that would give the impression it is even worse than that.

He doesn't even have a difference of opinion with them. He's never made a comment on the issue. He's being harassed because he is Jewish.

I think it's disingenuous of you to claim that he he's never made a comment on the issue, when you are presumably aware that he was a signatory in the now disgraced 'No Hostage Left Behind' open letter to Joe Biden - which spread that awful misinformation on Palestinians beheading Israeli babies etc.
The letter he signed also only called for the return of Israeli hostages, not the tens of thousands of Palestinian hostages taken by Israel before and since October 7th.
So I think you can make the argument that this person singling out Matt Lucas in this sort of way is reprehensible - which it is - but claiming he has never publicly taken a view on the conflict is incorrect, and therefore claiming it's solely because he's Jewish is not something you are able to ascertain. My guess would be that the person filming loosely recalled Matt Lucas being a signatory of that letter and thought it was appropriate to challenge him on it, with all the grace and vocab of a drunk idiot. |  |

I think one has to be careful not to judge how language was used 90 years ago by what it means today. Context also has to be appreciated.

This isn't to diminish the negative impact for anyone affected. |
“A total of 21% of the British public affirmed four or more antisemitic statements, compared to 16% in 2024. Examples of such statements are: “Compared to other groups, Jewish people have too much power in the media” and “Jewish people chase money more than other people do.”
In 2021, only 11% of Britons espoused such views, meaning that in less than five years, the number of people holding antisemitic views has doubled.”
I don’t think you understand that the problem is getting worse.
I would suggest that since you are a member of a majority, and not the minority in question, the people that will understand the “atmosphere” will be members of the minority, not you.
They seem to be saying, with evidence, it is getting worse. |  | | |

Ah, is that where it may have come from. I was wondering why they would even know Lucas is Jewish (I didn’t) and if the was a chance it could be coincidence and his celebrity was the reason they were engaging with him. Highly unlikely by the sounds of it if he’s been ‘outed’ and this guy’s got history.
Again, WTF is wrong with people? (We should all have that as our footer). I don’t know how we row back from this level of polarisation and especially targeting of minority groups. [Post edited 16 Feb 16:49]

You do realise that antisemitic hate crimes are significantly disproportionate to the Jewish population size? Jews make up just 0.5% of the population of the UK yet 29% of reported religious hate crimes.
For example, hate crimes against Jews in the UK are the equivalent to 106 crimes per 10,000 Jews. In comparison, for Muslims the total was 12 per 10,000 Muslims.
You've constantly pushed back against the the narrative that antisemitism is rising for as long as I can remember. Some examples of which are on this thread.

You won't get any push back if you simply want to state that incidents of antisemitism have increased since the Hamas attacks and the subsequent genocidal actions of the Israeli state.
Edit...Oh and there's the small matter of your desperate (now completely discredited)attempts to convince us that Labour became riddled with antisemitism (based on some social media posts and likes) the day Corbyn became leader that keeps me eternally suspicious of your motives.

The issue is that a man was going about his business minding his own business was picked on by a specimen with a phone who knew he couldn’t do anything about it. There is no justification for it whatsoever.
It was and is disgusting. I couldn’t give a monkeys whether the victim, because that is what he was, was Jewish, Arabic, Persian, African, Chinese, black, brown, white, male, female, Klingon or one of the Wombles.

Matt Lucas has apologised for Little Britain so it’s unfair to tar him with that. He’s taken responsibility and owned up for that previous wrong.
