The chairman of a parish council says antisemitism "will not be tolerated" after a meeting he was chairing was interrupted by a hateful comment from a member of the public.
An attendee was immediately kicked out of Shenley Parish Council's meeting on Zoom last night after they posted 'Burn the Jews' in capital letters into the chat box.
The incident, which was witnessed by nearly 80 people, including parish councillors, the council clerk, the leader of Hertsmere Borough Council, borough councillors, and the public, has been reported to the police and the Community Security Trust.
