In a brief discussion on new police powers for demonstrations and protests, I asked whether the problem is actually police reluctance at enforcing powers they already have (perhaps this is why some are so frustrated at the Gaza protests). Bans on face coverings and the like seems a distraction - AND a political underestimation of the deep culture of anti-Semitism, which has often gone unchallenged.
Perhaps we don't need more laws, but rather, we do need more courage in tackling open hatred of Jews in UK.
