TalkTV presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer erupted during a breaking news announcement after two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green, North London, earlier today. The Metropolitan Police have declared it a terrorist incident and are working with the security services and trying to “establish” the suspect’s nationality and background.
The victims, who are in their 70s and 30s, are reportedly in a stable condition. Meanwhile, the 45-year-old suspect, who attempted to stab police officers, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. “Let’s stop importing people from countries where antisemitism is the norm,” the 57-year-old journalist exclaimed as the breaking news banner flashed at the bottom of the screen.
“Why don’t we have people on the streets of London every fortnight, freely walking through our city with the most outrageous antisemitic banners calling for the annihilation of the only Jewish state in the world?”
Continuing her rant, she then took aim at London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan as she raged: “If our London Mayor Sadiq Khan, in his infinite wisdom and belief in diversity, thinks that is the sort of diverse view which is OK to have on the streets of London, and the police don’t get involved, don’t be shocked…
“Don’t you bl**dy dare claim to be shocked or upset or care about Jewish people being stabbed on the streets of our capital city in broad daylight,” she shouted. “This is on you!”
Khan has condemned the attack on social media, posting earlier this afternoon: “There has been an appalling attack on two Jewish Londoners in Golders Green.
“The police have made an arrest and I’d like to thank all the emergency services and heroic volunteers… for their swift response.
“London’s Jewish community have been the target of a series of shocking antisemitic attacks. There must be absolutely no place for antisemitism in society.”
