LONDON (VInnews) — A resident of Golders Green said he fears there is “not much future for Jewish people” in the United Kingdom following a recent stabbing attack in the north London neighborhood.

David Baddiel told the BBC he has been considering leaving the country for about a year, citing growing concerns over safety.

“Every time I come up with the same conclusion: yes, get out,” he said, adding that some of his family members are already making similar plans.

Baddiel compared the current climate to warning signs seen in Europe before World War II, saying, “The writing’s on the wall.”

Despite his concerns, he said the decision is painful.

“This culture is what I know. I’m British, I’m not Israeli,” he said. “It’s not what I want to do, it’s what I have to do.”

The comments come after two men were stabbed in Golders Green, an area with a large Jewish population, in an attack that has heightened fears within the community. Police have arrested a suspect and the investigation is ongoing.
