This is so saddening. A child, for goodness sake. Any attack is shocking, there’s no details, does she have dementia? No excuse in any case. I am so sad, Farage, Jenryk and their ilk whipping up such hatred. They are the real criminals.

A 77 year old woman for God’s sake. If proven to be the motivation, yet more evidence of geriatric radicalisation that we absolutely should talk about.

Religious hate crimes continue to rise as a result of Farage, Jenrick and Robinson’s evil, racist rhetoric that clearly aims to divide racially integrated communities.

The right-wing press targeted Lineker because he had the balls to speak out. Now it’s Gary Neville’s turn.
We need to be talking about flags and angry middle-aged white men. Well done Gary.

Farage, now socialist, is pretending to back left-wing policies - the same man who spent years whipping up hate, demonising migrants, and torching the welfare state. Don’t be fooled. This isn’t a change of heart - it’s a desperate grifter sniffing votes wherever he can. #ukpolitics

A little bit different but in an interview on CH4 news after the Heaton synagogue attack a Jewish lady said that her family were activity looking to emigrate. This is a shameful state of affairs we should not give the oxygen of publicity to Mr Farage and his divisive rhetoric.
