Central London UK becomes ‘no-go zone’ for Jewish people

The UK’s Commissioner for Countering Extremism warns central London is being allowed to turn “into a no-go zone for Jews every weekend”, but march organisers counter-claim the government is just trying to “whip up” fear.

“Anti-Semitism skyrocketing” and protests are becoming more forceful, leading to central London becoming a “no-go zone” for Jews at the weekend, the UK government’s Commissioner for Countering Extremism has warned. 

Robin Simcox, a former Henry Jackson Society and Heritage Foundation fellow who was appointed to the UK advisory post for his expertise on extremism in 2022 observed the tone and nature of protests, warning of a “permissive environment in the UK and saying that: 

“Protests [are] becoming ever more vociferous, with “from the river to the sea” beamed onto the side of Big Ben during a vote on Gaza.”
