More on anti-semitism on UK campuses...

Here's a story about how Euan Blair's girlfriend was forced out of the National Union of Students. Euan is Tony Blair's son. What's interesting is some of her examples of anti-semitism:
After school she attended Birmingham University, and aged 18 went to her first NUS conference, where she had an early experience of campus anti-Semitism.

"I went to a fringe meeting on the Israeli-Palestinian issue," she said. "As I was leaving, some anti-Jewish protesters called me ' disgusting'. They spat at me. I and other Jewish students had to be herded out. I was humiliated and abused simply because of my religious identity."

She added: "In my first term at Birmingham, one day the campus was fly-posted with posters proclaiming: 'The final hour will not come until all the Jews are dead.'"
