EXCLUSIVE: What was it like being a Jew at the Labour Party Conference? | The Backbencher

David Collier is a British Jew who specialises in going undercover to find and expose anti-Semitism. There was a time when such work would have meant being submerged in the open sewer that is the neo-fascist far-right. In contemporary Britain however Collier finds more fruitful hunting grounds amongst the hard-left. I spoke to him last month about his experiences as a Jew at the Labour Party’s 2017 annual conference, how anti-Semitism became a big issue on the British hard-left and to what extent Jeremy Corbyn has allowed it to flourish.
