Antisemitic incidents spiked after Vylan set, charity says
>Jewish communities are facing "extreme levels of Jew-hatred", the Community Security Trust (CST) said.
>The organisation, which monitors antisemitism in the UK, said a total of 1,521 antisemitic incidents were reported in the first half of 2025.
>Responding to the findings, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said antisemitic incidents and crimes "remain shamefully and persistently high".
>There were at least 200 incidents every month in the first half of 2025, the CST said. The report relies on figures from incidents that are self-reported.
>During the set, singer Pascal Robinson-Foster, who performs under the stage name Bobby Vylan, also made a speech about a record label boss he used to work for.
>The singer said: "Who do I see on that list of names but that bald-headed [expletive] I used to work for? We've done it all, all right - from working in bars to working for [expletive] Zionists."
