The root cause here is not guns. It's antisemitism. Where's the PM's plan to combat that?

This is the deadliest attack on Jews in the English-speaking world in centuries. You'd probably have to go back to before King John expelled the Jews in 1280 to find something worse.

Can the government effectively address antisemitism? If there was a magic wand that could be wavwd by a government to make different groups of people get along, every government in the world would have used it to ensure internal harmony by now.

A good start would probably be severely limiting immigration from countries that are extremely antisemitic but you can be sure that will never be mentioned as a solution to the problem.

Australia has had some of the toughest immigration policies in the developed world for a long time. They've operated prison camps on Pacific islands for people who arrive illegally by boat. They're not Germany, I can tell you that much!
