Chindie Posted May 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2022 26 minutes ago, Demitri_C said: Highgate and stamford hill are higher jewish areas in london but barnet is close for sure The council ward of Barnet is the one with the highest Jewish demographic in the country. I think it's something like 20% of the population in the ward describing itself as Jewish, which is very high given how few Jewish people there are generally. I don't know what wards Highgate or Stamford Hill fall into, but its widely known that Barnet is 'the most Jewish' ward in the country. Barnet going to Labour is a big thing. Not only because of the obvious anti-Semitism slur fallout of recent years, but also because generally Jewish people do not vote Labour. Jewish people typically more often vote Conservative than other demographics. Labour have won a ward where they would expect a significant chunk of about 20% of the ward is not going to vote for them. That's a pretty big deal.

The neighbourhood is a sub-district of Hackney, the major component of the London Borough of Hackney, and is known for its Hasidic community, the largest concentration of Hasidic Jews in Europe.

Not sure how many of you have been to barnet its actually a really nice area and bloody expensive to buy a house. Im curious to see how the council does here with the big jewish population. As if they do what they did with their neighbours enfield round there they will be voted out next election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed that someone with Starmer's legal background would call for resignation purely on the grounds of an investigation, before an outcome, but well, he has. He's shit the bed here. There is of course the distinction that they're not his laws and he's not the one who was explaining them to the nation.

markavfc40 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Labour/Starmer are still adamant no rules were broken and until the Police prove otherwise I am happy to believe them I didn't give Johnson the benefit of any doubt/wait for Police to confirm as he is a serial lying bastard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Tories can't call for him to resign, but all of the media on him calling for Boris to go will be played over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Tories can't call for him to resign, but all of the media on him calling for Boris to go will be played over and over. If there is a fine, there are two outcomes I can see, either both sides agreeing to move on and forget about all of it, or the hilarity of Tories insisting that he must resign and Labour insisting it was an honest mistake and they didn't realise they were breaking the law. That'll be fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
