(Jewish News) The four Board of Deputies presidential candidates have displayed differing approaches to answering potentially problematic questions at a hustings ahead of Sunday’s election.
At a well-attended event at JFS school on Wednesday evening, hosted expertly by former British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould, one question involved claims of an “Islamicisation of British politics.”
The presidential hopefuls were also quizzed on whether they would agree the BBC is “systematically biased.” It was Edgware Synagogue deputy Keith Myers who stood up, revealing he wished to ask the four candidates, on behalf of a member of the congregation, what they would do to address what he described as “the Islamicisation of British politics.”
