Challenging Anti-Semitism

I gave the inaugural lecture at the launch of the European Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism in the House of Commons last night - a new think tank aiming to re-engage the academic debate on combatting anti-Semitism. There was lots of interest in my speech - you can read it in full here.

Mr Murphy, if you are so keen for anti-semitism and other forms of racism, no doubt to be studied and combated, it would surely be useful if your colleagues in the Home Office compiled and published statistics on inter-racial crime in Britain. Presently, they refuse to do so.

Russ Peterson,I get what you are saying and it is a good idea. However I am concerned that if they start publishing stastics on inter racial crime rates it could make the situation worse since the government has given official information. That's a very good speech Jim. You've cleverly touched on difficult points.
