'The comfortable narrative for everybody was that there was someone to blame, it was either Blake or Mitch, and you create a narrative of villains of an victims,' he said. 'The reason why that's comfortable is you think "Well if my daughter doesn't marry someone like Blake or if I don't behave like Mitch then my daughter won't die" but that's not how addiction works.'

According to the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA), nearly 80% of Jews in the United Kingdom are less likely to show visible signs of their Judaism in the new environment. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have sparked a lot of anxiety, with 90 percent of respondents saying they would not go into a city if a major protest was taking place. At Rachel Riley, Eddie Marsan, Rob Rinder, Vanessa Feltz, and Tracy-Ann Oberman, all wearing the same outfit on Sunday in London against antisemitism.

Despite being referred to impartiality laws that state that journalist employees "should not participate in public demonstrations on contentious topics," hundreds of Jewish employees in news and current affairs attended the London demonstration. Following a dramatic rise in crimes since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, tens of thousands of citizens took part in a march calling for a crackdown on antisemitism, with some carrying placards reading "BBC muzzles journalists."

Ms Riley shared photos of herself speaking in Parliament Square on X, formerly known as Twitter: 'Proud marched alongside Kurds, Iranians, Ukrainians, and every other person who gave up their time today to say "NO to antisemitism." Her column also contained a copy of her address, urging people to avoid being 'bystanders' and join in the fight.

We've read and heard a lot about the feeling of bewilderment, shock, profound sadness, and - worst of all - fear felt by Britain's Jewish people in the last 50 days,' Robert Hardman writes. Yesterday, the collective anarchy in London's East End brought the biggest demonstration of support for British Jews since the Battle of Cable Street in London's East End nearly 90 years ago. The total figure came out at 105,000, but not nearly half of the UK's entire Jewish population.

Rachel Riley (left), a campaign manager, called on activists to 'get serious' about combating antisemitism, as she joined more than 100,000 protesters at the largest demonstration against antisemitism in London in nearly 90 years. In their fight against antisemitism, Brits will need'strong stomachs,' and they will have to'stand up to the crowd.' Her call was echoed by actor Eddie Marsan, 55, who pleaded with people to'stand up and fight extremism and bigotry.' Tracy-Ann Oberman, a former EastEnders actor, told marchers, that the UK was seeing a "frightening and rapid rise in antisemitism," and that protesters should call out antisemitism for being a "incitement to hatred."

According to an insider, a'significant' percentage of Jewish workers at the BBC planned to defy the corporation's 'ban' on attending the March Against Anti-Semitism today. As they expressed their dissatisfaction with the BBC's news coverage of Israel and Hamas, Jewish employees at the corporation announced that they would attend the rally in central London with tens of thousands of others calling for an end to hatred against their ethnicity. According to a source who spoke to MailOnline, several inside the corporation have even characterized the event as 'romanticizing Hamas and its allies,' and blasted it for having the 'audacity' to warn Jewish employees not to protest against rising anti-Semitism. Managers at the BBC had effectively barred staff from participating in the march last week, including some senior figures. According to one insider, Jewish staff thought the decision was "deplorable" and that "none of them was keen to comply with it," but it is not possible to determine how many individuals defy rules that say they should not go.

Thousands of protesters descended on central London today, with Boris Johnson (left) and his wife Carrie (right) protesting anti-semitism. Former Prime Minister David Cameron was also joined by his sister Rachel in the march Against Antisemitism, which was launched by the Royal Courts of Justice. The 90-minute march comes after 18 demonstrators were arrested in Gaza yesterday during a protest calling for a permanent cease-fire, including anti-Semitic banners and placards on display throughout the march. Others, including Mr Johnson, rallied to show their love - with Rachel Riley of Countdown (inset) Tracy-Ann Oberman spotted. Vanessa Feltz, a presenter of Celebrity Big Brother, joined her on the march alongside award-winning actor Eddie Marsan.

The cast includes Eddie Marsan, Rich Sommer, and Sebastian De Souza in addition to Dynevor and Ehrenreich.
