So it’s quite refreshing to see television writer Russell T Davies mention in his new drama Tip Toe the hate Jews are facing.

Of course, Tip Toe has been made by Quay Street Productions, owned by former BBYO national president, Mancunian Nicola Shindler.

Russell told BBC’s Today programme last month: “A Jew could have written this. If this was a Jewish version of the story you wouldn’t be calling it timely, you’d be calling it too late.”

And in the second episode of the Channel 4 series, Russell tackles the hatred of anything Jewish.

One scene shows a meeting of Manchester gay bar owners with one saying they booked a cabaret artist who featured a Star of David on their poster.

“They think she’s anti-Palestine,” she said. “I don’t think she could point to Palestine on a map. She sings limericks on a banjo.

“The next thing you know our staff are being assaulted, security, they’re getting food flung at them, chips and stuff thrown in their face.

“Lesbians at a lesbian bar attacking the lesbian staff because of a lesbian with a Jewish symbol. “What the hell’s going on?”

Thank you Russell for including this issue.
