“People feel scared, people feel unsafe,” said Baruch Stern, of Gross Butchers, behind the cordon raised after two men were stabbed in north London in an apparent antisemitic attack. “People think, is it really the place for me to be here? Is the UK safe for Jewish people, or is it something we need to think about, moving away?”

It is feared the stabbings in Golders Green are the latest in a string of incidents that have targeted Jewish schools, synagogues and charities over the last few months.
