    He's irrelevant.

    Laws criminalizing expressions of hatred in speech and in writing,
    independent of an underlying criminal offense, have been in place for
    decades. Conservative governments did not repeal them.

    The English are mildly anti-Semitic and always have been. The cop in the
    video isn't necessarily acting on orders from the Interior ministry but
    more likely reflects general attitudes among the population.
