A Party in Crisis: Antisemitism and the Conservative Conundrum The Conservative Party's decision to select Joshua Bonehill Paine, a former neo Nazi, as a council candidate has sparked outrage among the UK's Jewish community.

Bonehill Paine was jailed in 2016 for racially aggravated harassment of Labour peer Luciana Berger, who is Jewish.
