(Jewish Group) Giant swastika painted on London factory owes to his pro-Brexit stance, Jewish owner
The painting of a swastika on a factory owned by a British Jewish man owed to his pro-Brexit stance, not to anti-Semitism, he said.
Lance Forman, a European Parliament lawmaker for the Brexit Party and owner of H. Forman & Son, a century-old salmon smoking company in the eastern part of the city, made the claim in an interview Wednesday with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency about the incident in May.
“The story came out in the media that there had been an anti-Semitic attack on the property of a Jewish business owner whose father was a Holocaust survivor,” Forman said.
A woman phoned the factory in May and said that an acquaintance of hers painted the swastika to protest Forman’s support for Brexit, he said. She identified the man, Forman said, but he declined to name the man in the JTA interview.
