Great news on school security

I am delighted that Michael Gove has pledged £2m in Government funding for Jewish school security (http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/42362/%C2%A32m-jewish-schools-security). It is great that the Coalition Government is doing this and congratulations must go to the CST for their successful work on this. The Government's pledge is in line with a recent speech by Nick Clegg, in which the Deputy Prime Minister said: "I deeply resent the fact that antisemitism remains a factor in the life of the Anglo-Jewish community. It is outrageous that Jewish schools should need to have such a high level of security – people might take the need for such security for granted, but I repeat, it is outrageous that there should be such a threat to the safety of Jewish schoolchildren in Britain today." Well done to Michael Gove and the Coalition Government for now acting.
