1936 Cable Street Riots

Writer: David Rosenberg

Police protection?

Upper Class Jewish community leaders thought the police and courts were fair to Jews– but working class Jewish communities felt the police were partial towards fascists and more likely to arrest the victims than the perpetrators of anti-Semitism.

The police at Leman Street station in Aldgate were renowned for their brutality towards Jewish anti-fascists in a similar way that police stations in Bradford, Stoke Newington and Brixton have been seen by Black and Asian communities in the 1980s and 90s.

The Law Courts were viewed similarly. Magistrates often made derogatory remarks about immigrants appearing before them. In a theft case, one magistrate remarked: "I have to deal with you as a Jewish receiver of stolen property." Another magistrate dealing with a case of insulting behaviour, commented: "I will not let a couple of young ruffians … especially with a name like Riscovitch behave in such a manner."

Immigrant defendants were sometimes recommended for deportation.
