I am always turning up to their yeshivas and, to their great amusement, they call me “the Lord above”. That might sound sacrilegious, but I am the Lord who lives above a shop, so that is a matter of great amusement within the community. I am present in that community, ensuring that the safeguarding and the well-being is adequately enforced, and I can testify that it is. So I say to my Government that I do not think for a moment there is any intention to persecute or render illegal Hasidic education in this country; sometimes there are just unintended consequences of well-intended actions.
