A politically and racially aggravated attack against a minority faith community.
To one, Boris Johnson, Dominic Raab and Robert Jenrick are compelled to convey their personal dismay; "This shameful racism has no place in our society," cries Johnson. "Disgusting, disgraceful, deeply disturbing, vile, criminal," exclaim Raab and Jenrick. Johson expresses his solidarity with the Jewish community ahead of their festival, Shavuot.
