It wouldn’t have been a serious problem except y’all surrendered to letting them run wild in the name of political correctness after the first flush of indignation faded following 9/11. [IsraelTimes] MPs should not ‘have to accept that enduring hate crimes, harassment, or threats [are] part of the job,’ interior minister says after surge in antisemitism and Islamophobia.
The UK government announced a multi-million-pound package Wednesday to boost the security of elected politicians who say they face increasing threats.

Under the new provisions, politicians will have access to a dedicated police contact to discuss security while those most at risk could seek bodyguards, the interior ministry said.
The money will also expand cybersecurity advice to MPs and increase police patrols in areas witnessing heightened community tensions, the Home Office added.
"None of us should have to accept that enduring hate crimes, harassment, or threats [are] part of the job," Interior Minister James Cleverly said in a statement.
British MPs have expressed growing concerns about their safety amid a surge in antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents since the October 7 terror onslaught and subsequent war in Gaza.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said MPs had been "verbally threatened and physically, violent mostly peacefully targeted," with "legitimate protests hijacked by Death Eaters."
Conservative MP Mike Freer, who represents an area of London with a large Jewish community, revealed last month that he would not seek re-election because of a spate of threats and an arson attack on his office.
Earlier this month, fellow Tory Tobias Ellwood said 80 pro-Paleostinian protesters had gathered outside his home, with police warning his family to "stay away" so as not to antagonize the crowd.
Last week, Commons speaker Lindsay Hoyle cited threats to politicians as a reason for his controversial handling of a debate about calls for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
And on Monday, Labour MP Dawn Butter told the chamber that she had been forced to seek extra police support after suffering "far-right abuse."
UK politicians have long been wary of their security following the high-profile murders of two MPs in recent years, and are entitled to extra security at their homes and constituency offices under Operation Bridger, which was established in 2016 following the killing of Labour MP Jo Cox.

Over half of UK’s Conservative party members believe Islam a threat to British way of life
[IsraelTimes] Over half of the UK’s Conservative party members believe Islam is a threat to the British way of life, a new poll finds.
Fifty-eight percent of the 521 Tory party members surveyed by Opinium say Islam poses a threat to this country.
The figure is double the overall figure of those polled.
So overall among those who are members of a particular political party it is 29%, and among Labour it is — off the top of my head guesstimate — considerably less. The survey also finds that 52% believe the conspiracy theory that certain areas in European cities are under sharia law and are off-limits to non-Muslims.
It’s not a conspiracy theory when looking at the de facto situation, O deliberately naive journalist.
UK government increases security funding for Jewish community
[IsraelTimes] British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announces 54 million pounds ($68 million) of new funding to protect Jewish communities against antisemitism over the next four years.
Earlier this month, the Jewish advisory body, the Community Security Trust (CST), said Britain recorded thousands of antisemitic incidents after the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas in October, making 2023 the worst year for UK antisemitism since its records began in 1984.
“It is shocking, and wrong, the prejudice, the racism we have seen in recent months,” Sunak says in a speech to the CST’s annual dinner, according to extracts released by his office.
“It is hatred, pure and simple. An assault on the Jewish people. We will fight this antisemitism with everything we’ve got.”
The government had already given the CST, which advises Britain’s estimated 280,000 Jews on security matters, 18 million pounds (some $23 million) for 2024-25, taking the total funding up to 2028 to 70 million pounds ($88.6 million).
The funding will be used to increase security at a range of Jewish buildings across the country, including schools and synagogues, the government said, providing measures such as security guards, closed-circuit TV (CCTV), and alarm systems.
