newsTime for action as Jew and Muslim hate spreads like wildfire
On-line race hate is spreading throughout the world and scenes like this becoming more and more common.
Bondi Beach last Sunday has made comforting words about how we must all sit back and love our neighbours almost meaningless. Race hate is spreading like wildlife and the fear is it could spread in countries which once proudly boasted about the joys of multiculturalism –
TREVOR GRUNDY reports –
The British government is increasingly worried about the spread of Jew and Muslim hate.
No wonder after what happened at Bondi Beach last Sunday.
The Prime Minister’s communications chief David Dinsmore is drawing up plans to combat far-right rhetoric online which is encouraging race hate which ends in scenes of violence on the streets of Britain between members of ethnic minorities, the police and a new wave of flag-waving “Britain First” activists.

Informed sources say that there is now a multi-faith demand for a massive inquiry into anti-Semitism and ani-Muslim hatred and an urgent need to hold a national seminar on the origin of this disease.
Where it will be held and who would attend remains to be seen.
Reports published this week say that the government is concerned about the proliferation of false and inflammatory far-right content of social media and that it is anxious to persuade officials to step- up their efforts to reveal what is going on.
David Dinsmore is a former editor of the Sun newspaper and responsible for developing a new communications strategy that responds to the rapidly evolving media landscape.
A government handout said that his appointment as Permanent Secretary, Director for Communications strengthens the government’s communication services capacity to deliver clear, effective communications that support the delivery of government priorities while maintaining public trust at a time of huge technological and cultural change.
Dinsmore was recruited after PM Keir Starmer was impressed with his understanding of modern communication challenges during the interview process.
It is understood that major changes will be made in the way the government communicates via the Government Communications Service (GCS) which is based in the Cabinet office.

The GCS describes itself as the professional body of communicators who support ministerial priorities. The GCS employs over 7,000 officials.
A senior government officials told a fund-raising event for Labour MPs in October this year that he had “no idea what they do.”
Hopefully, some of them will advise a seminar on race hate sooner than later. Not only advise but also suggest who should attend, what needs to be studied and why.
In short – Who will it benefit?
Events at a beach in Australia on Sunday and on-going slaughter in Gaza have made cleverly phrased words of hope and comfort meaningless.
