On the left, we have "Lil Nas X" twerking on Satan. On the right, we have Andrew Tate, who teaches young people to think critically, to take care of their physical health and build financial security. Guess which one is deemed controversial and which is hailed as a role model.

This is a lot of words to say "nothing happened".
I was walking through London last night when someone called out of the dark at me, "Are you Jew?" I froze and turned around. It was two school girls. They asked again if I was a Jew. They had something in their hands. I panicked and said no. I was expecting them to launch into an angry "Palestine" rant and thrust pamphlet material at me. It turns out they were handing out candles for Hanukkah. I'm not Jewish. But I shan't forget that volt of panic I felt in the moment I realised I was being viewed as a Jew, and not knowing if things would end well or end badly because of it. I cannot imagine what actual Jews in London and Europe are going through at the moment. I felt paranoid for the rest of my trip. Whilst their offer of candles set my mind at rest and the world became a better place for a moment, it is easy to imagine such an interaction going in the opposite direction...
