It was also an expression of entrenched educational, social class and religious divisions. Negative emotions like fear, anxiety, envy, resentment and hatred were whipped up by bitter ‘dog-whistlers’ and the tabloid media.
The referendum result is potentially a threat to the liberal humanitarian values that many of us Londoners do share: inclusivity, diversity, neighbourliness extended to everyone and respecting the stranger as an equal human being. As Jews, these positive ethical values are central to our hopes for a positive future.
