I was first stopped and searched by police when I was 16 on suspicion of kidnap. Since 2003 I’ve been stopped almost 30 times. I’ve written about those interactions and what I’ve learnt during my time on the crime beat @thetimes. 📸Tom Jackson thetimes.co.uk/article/police…

EXCLUSIVE with @davidwoode The UK’s most senior police officer has warned that British Jews are facing their greatest ever threat as he blamed social media for fuelling an “epidemic” of antisemitism Sir Mark Rowley, the head of the Metropolitan Police, said that Jewish people were at the centre of a “ghastly Venn diagram of hate” as they were ­targeted by extremists and terrorists on the left and right, as well as state-backed actors In an interview with The Times, he said that while the police could deal with the “symptoms” of the problem, successive governments had failed to do enough to tackle the “disease” He called for a national debate about the “appalling” level of hostility directed at Jewish communities He hailed the two officers who arr­ested the Golders Green knife attack suspect as “heroes” after they were ­criticised by Zack ­Polanski, the Green Party leader. Rowley said the officers had been left traumatised “If you overlay three things now - hate crime, terrorism and hostile state activity - you add all that together, that combined effect with that building of ideology online, that is really dangerous and troubling. And Jewish communities feel that and you can see that in how they talk, how it’s making them change their lives. That’s an ­appalling state of affairs. British Jews, he said, were on the “hate” list of every racist and extremist group “whether you’re extreme left, whether you’re Islamist terrorist, ­whether you’re right-wing terrorist, and some hostile states as well now with some sort of Iranian-related threats. There’s a sort of ghastly Venn diagram that they’re at the middle of.” He said that social media was “mainstreaming” antisemitism. “This isn’t a criticism of young people [but] as the world’s becoming more social media-led, they’re the cohort of people who are getting the majority of their information and news from non-traditional sources,” he said. “Now those views are becoming more and more mainstreamed which creates the picture we have today. What troubles me is that this isn’t just about a few racist idiots, this is standing on something that is more embedded in society that isn’t being challenged. There’s too much licensing of it in public debate.” thetimes.com/article/1d4227…
