Is Being Jewish Unsafe in the UK?

Today we look at how safe Jewish people feel and the political response to a string of violent incidents in which they’ve been targeted. It’s prompted a national conversation about antisemitism in the country among politicians and the public. Two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, north London, on Wednesday and there have been multiple cases of arson on Jewish properties in recent weeks. Special correspondent Judith Moritz is on to talk about what the community has been telling her, and Paddy’s been to a synagogue in North London to talk to young people about their experiences.
