Britons still do not want to
have a Jew as a neighbor,
according to the first-ever
comprehensive survey of at-
titudes toward Jews in the
United Kingdom.
But the overall picture of
Jews in the popular con-
sciousness is "markedly
positive," said David Singer,
research director of the
American Jewish Com-
mittee, which commissioned
the poll.
Jews emerged as the least
disliked of all ethnic
minorities in Britain in the
survey, for which 959 re-
spondents were interviewed
in 100 areas of the country.
same enemies as other
minorities," he added.
The survey presents
evidence that the British
government is not adequate-
ly addressing the problem of
race relations. Home Secre-
tary Michael Howard recent-
ly said that existing hate
legislation in Britain is suf-
ficient.
According to the survey, a
large plurality of Britons —
45 percent — want to see
that law strengthened.
The Commission for Racial
Equality, the Board of
Deputies and the Anti-
Racist Alliance, a largely
black group, have all called

In fact, said Mr. Singer,
the general level of accep-
tance of Jews is higher in the
United Kingdom than in the
United States on certain key
indicators.
But the survey showed
great antagonism among
Britons toward other
minorities — Gypsies,
Pakistanis, West Indians,
Africans, Arabs and
Chinese.
A local Jewish leader
observed that no solace can
be had from the relatively
positive attitude toward
Jews when one considers the
feelings Britons hold toward
minorities in general.
Neville Nagler, chief ex-
ecutive of the Board of
Deputies of British Jews,
expressed deep pessimism
about race relations as
reflected in the poll, which
was conducted by the Gallup
Organization.
Eighty percent of re-
spondents to the survey feel
that relations between the
races were "only fair" or
poor."
Jews can only thrive and
prosper in a tolerant and
democratic society and have
"a vested interest in worry-
ing about the general state
of race relations," said Mr.
Nagler.
"Jews, to the extent that
they face enemies, face the
up the laws.
Asked about the percep-
tion of different groups' in-
fluence on society, 8 percent
thought the Jews have "too
much."
That, too, was markedly
less than the response in the
United States, where 22 per-
cent thought Jews have too
much influence; and in
Austria, where 28 percent of
respondents thought Jews
are too influential.
Of those questioned in the
September poll, 12 percent of
Britons said they would
"prefer not" to have a Jew-
ish neighbor.
Only 5 percent of Ameri-
cans gave that answer in an
AJCommittee poll. The
number in Poland was much
higher, at 40 percent,
despite the fact that few
Jews live in that country
anymore.
In the British poll, Gypsies
were the least desirable eth-
nic group. Some 65 percent
of Britons said they did not
want a Gypsy living next
door.
Arabs were the next
disliked, with 31 percent of
respondents saying they did
not want an Arab neighbor.
Some 30 percent did not
want. to live next door to a
Pakistani.
In all, approximately one
in four Britons objected to
