It's quite significant.

Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place

Chris, can I just ask you about, I'm always fascinated by the Labour Party and its anti-Semitic views and particularly the Corbynistas.

The Other Hand
Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place

Presumably that all goes back to the fact that Jewish people tend to be more successful in business.

The Other Hand
Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place

They tend to control a lot of the wealth traditionally, throughout history actually.

The Other Hand
Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place

Is it just resentment that

The Other Hand
Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place

Yeah, indeed, indeed.

The Other Hand
Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place

I mean, I have to say I've always had a really simplistic view on racism.

The Other Hand
Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place

I really genuinely could never understand how anybody could look down on somebody else because of the colour of their skin, where they come from, whatever.

And I suppose one justification for that is the fact that what's happening in the housing market and that, you know, there is a view that foreigners have taken our houses, they're taking our jobs, whatever.

The Other Hand
Rising racism, rising bond yields, rising populism: the UK is in a terrible place
