00:00It is important that we come together very quickly now to take the necessary action.
00:05What we saw last night was people being targeted because they are Jewish and absolutely clear about that.
00:12And of course our thoughts with the victims and wishing them a speedy recovery with their families and loved ones.
00:21And of course with the volunteers, the first responders, who were quite incredible in their response yesterday.
00:28But there is no getting away from the fact that this was not a one-off.
00:32This has been a series of attacks on our Jewish community, particularly in recent weeks.
00:38And there is a very deep sense of anxiety, of concern about security, about safety, about identity frankly.
00:46I went to Kenton Synagogue last week and heard first hand from some in the synagogue who of course have
00:53been subject to an attack there.
00:55So we have to understand that wider impact and that visceral feeling that many in our Jewish community have.
