Anti‑Semitism ‘Normalised’ in Middle‑Class Britain, Says Commission Co‑Chair
Penny Mordaunt warns rising acceptance across multiple sectors
Evidence unveiled by the Board of Deputies’ Commission on Antisemitism has stunned the nation, with co‑chair Penny Mordaunt warning that anti‑Jewish prejudice is not just confined to fringes but has become alarmingly accepted in middle‑class Britain.
The commission, backed across party lines and chaired alongside Lord John Mann, is calling for immediate reforms in hate crime legislation, policing and public policy after uncovering extensive bias within workplaces, schools, academia and media, and warning that the issue represents a national crisis.
