I feel a bit sick I only got this plea for help from Jewish students @SPC_Oxford after the Ken Loach event happened.
Iâve made my views on Loach known before. Oxford colleges are homes for students, I certainly wouldnât have wanted him in mine.

More, defence of Ken Livingstone:
Note, the EHRC report has since found the Labour Party guilty of unlawful harassment of Jewish people due to KLâs behaviour.

Incidents like these inevitably lead to a spike in antisemitism. They give an opportunity for various racism apologists to do what they do best - stoke distrust and aggression towards an aggrieved minority - they must be bad faith actors, lying to achieve some âhidden agendaâ.
