Ahead of the Tory party conference being held in Manchester, the opposition leader Kemi Badenoch visited the scene of Thursday’s terror attack in Crumpsall
Badenoch said of her visit that her overwhelming reaction was rage
Writing on X she said:
How dare a man welcomed into our country as a child repay that generosity with terror and bloodshed?
So many lives ruined, so much trauma, pain, anxiety and loss left behind.
I absolutely sick of seeing Britain’s kindness turned against us.
Before the visit she spoke to the Prestwich Hebrew Congregation saying that
“The strength of Manchester’s Jewish community in the face of evil is humbling.
“Manchester’s Jewish community has been part of the city for over two centuries. It is a scandal that many in Manchester and beyond are considering leaving our country.
For generations after the Holocaust, the world said “never again”. Never again would we allow Jews to be hunted, terrorised, or live in fear because of who they are. Those words ring hollow today.”
