(Jewish News) Former Tory minister Robert Jenrick has suggested “Islamist extremists” have been allowed to dominate our streets leaving “British Jews and others too intimidated to walk through central London week after week.”
Speaking in the Commons, as MPs discussed the frantic events of Wednesday’s debate on Gaza, Jenrick said: “The real issue of the events of the last 24 hours is not the party political shenanigans … the real issue is that this House appears cowed by threats of violence and intimidation.
“The mother of parliament[s] appears weakened and diminished as a result.”
The former communities secretary then added: “We have allowed our streets to be dominated by Islamist extremists. And British Jews and others to be too intimidated to walk through central London week after week.
“And now we are allowing [Islamist] extremists to intimidate British MPs.”
