Ed Miliband said the idea that British Jews could be fearful of living in the UK was no longer unthinkable Jewish parents are beginning to fear for their children’s future in Britain for the first time in a generation, Ed Miliband has claimed. The Labour leader said ‘for the first time in their lifetime’ middle-aged Jews were scared about the rise of anti-Semitism in the UK. Mr Miliband, himself the son of Jewish refugees, hit out amid growing concern over a spate of anti-Jewish attacks. Labour MPs Luciana Berger and Louise Ellman have been on the end of vile anti-Semitic attacks, sparking calls for a crackdown on internet abuse.
