@Lazarou @IndyRichard @pvonhellermannn yes, the provincial constabularies play it safer and their Press Offices often only seem to make statements after the charges have gone to CPS or simply ignore the requests from the media for comment (more because they don't have the resources to easily deal with the aftermath if it prompts folk to take sides and fight in the streets than any progressive reasons)

@Lazarou @IndyRichard @pvonhellermannn on that note, whilst there's not a great paranoia about antisemitism in East Anglia (there are Jewish folk, particularly in Essex (including some of my own extended family) - but they are widely dispersed across a geographically large region) Larger more multicultural towns such as Ipswich are generally safe for everyone (at least during daytime away from streets/places with high alcohol use), but I'm seeing in the smaller towns a rise in reports of racist graffiti and other incidents, similar to what was common in SE England and London in the 1970s-1990s - and "foreign owned" businesses in these towns getting their windows put through at weekends..
