Overview
- Transport for London suspended the unnamed Bakerloo Line driver on Monday after a protest video showed him saying Jews were "not safe" when he is driving.
- TfL said it opened a disciplinary investigation and reported the incident to the British Transport Police for possible criminal inquiry.
- The Campaign Against Antisemitism called the clip "revolting" and cited surveys showing many British Jews do not feel safe identifying themselves on public transport.
- The RMT union said it condemns all discrimination and does not accept such behaviour within its ranks, while declining to comment on the specific case.
- The footage surfaced during a week of union protests and planned Tube strikes, as police also probe recent arson attempts at London synagogues and the firebombing of Hatzola ambulances in north-west London.
