‘Peaceful protest’ or intimidation? Edgware, June 2026
Today, a demonstration came to my street. It began outside a local shul (synagogue) and moved through Edgware, a part of Barnet with a large and visible Jewish community. Roads were closed, streets blocked, and the police presence was significant — on foot, in vans, and helicopters overhead. There were drums, loudhailers, chants, placards and masks.

In fact, many are intelligent, articulate and often highly educated. They can be found in universities, boardrooms, political parties, activist organisations and media institutions. What distinguishes them is not a lack of intelligence but a lack of curiosity, or perhaps more accurately, a fear of curiosity. The useful idiot fears information that might complicate his worldview. He avoids conversations that challenge his assumptions, seeking affirmation rather than understanding and certainty rather than truth. For previous generations, education was often the process of discovering how much you didn’t know. Today, for many, education has become the process of learning which opinions are safe to hold. One...
