Jewish TV Executives Voice Dismay After Ex-Channel 4 Commissioner Attacks Stephen Fry's National Rallying Cry Against Antisemitism
Tamara Abood, an ex-Channel 4 current affairs commissioner and producer of shows including What Happens In Kavos, sparked anger after posting on LinkedIn about Fry's alternative Christmas Day message.
snip===========================
Fry used his speech on Channel 4 to express concern about rising antisemitism in the UK and implored viewers to stand up against discrimination. The six-minute speech was produced by Fulwell 73.
Abood, who now works as a psychotherapist but maintains links to the TV industry, wrote that the speech was "disingenuous" in a series of LinkedIn messages.
She added: "C4 is broadcasting a Christmas message about anti-semitism. If this doesn't demonstrate to you where the power lies, and who dies for those lies of the powerful, you are choosing to be blind."

These are not false flag events, and the protesters are not GQP. They're left wing extremists.
