Lipman comments "incredibly insulting to Britain" says Rantzen
Esther Rantzen says Maureen Lipman's comments about thinking of leaving UK over the rise in anti-Semitism are "incredibly insulting to Britain".
The television presenter said the actress was a friend, but she felt "completely comfortable" and "deeply grateful" to being in Britain.
And she added that without Winston Churchill's leadership, her family "would not be here".
Ms Rantzen was speaking to Andrew Neil, Alan Johnson and Michael Portillo in the week the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz was commemorated around the world, and about what it means to be Jewish in the UK today.
