Cameron's Zionist backers

Now before you blame me - don't! This is from an article from the June 23rd edition of 'The Times of Israel' - which boasts it is 'The Jewish world's fastest-growing news site.'
I am reprinting sections of it 'without comment' - fascinating stuff though!!!

LONDON — There are so many Jews at the top of Britain’s Conservative party, Prime Minister David Cameron once quipped, that it should be known as the Torah party rather than the Tory party.

 

With the announcement last Wednesday that Ian Livingston was selected as trade and investment minister and elevated to the House of Lords, Cameron has appointed to the government possibly its most committed Jew yet, and certainly its most outspoken supporter of Israel — which Livingston has called “the most amazing state in the world.”

                

Livingston, 48, is one of Britain’s most visible business leaders, widely credited with steering telecom giant BT (formerly British Telecom) through the global downturn as its chief executive. Wednesday’s announcement of his departure from the company, which will take effect in September, immediately wiped £400 million ($618 million) off its market value.

In his new role as trade minister, which he will take up in December, Livingston will promote UK trade globally and attract investment in the British economy. He is replacing Lord Green, an ordained priest in the Church of England who is approaching retirement, and he was personally handpicked for the trade minister job by Cameron, who said Livingston “will bring huge talent to a vital national effort.”

 

Other top Jewish figures in the Conservative party include co-chairs Lord Feldman and Grant Shapps MP, who has defined himself as “quite observant,” senior treasurer Howard Leigh, a member of the Jewish Leadership Council; and former party treasurers Richard Harrington MP and Lord Fink, another member of the JLC.

 

Livingston leads an active Jewish life, regularly attending an Orthodox shul, Borehamwood and Elstree United Synagogue just outside London. He is a well-known supporter of Israel and of Jewish charities, in recent years hosting or speaking at events for high school Yavneh College, the United Jewish Israel Appeal, human rights NGO Rene Cassin, and Jewish business incubator TraidE, among other causes.
