That's very funny.
I didn't criticise Anderson specifically for calling certain Jews 'low-class'!
I criticised him - as did Henry Smith and Edmund Reid - for alleging that they would have sheltered the murderer and refused to give him up to what Anderson called 'gentile justice'.
Since everyone was under English law, his comment was completely out-of-order.
The law was not about whether one was gentile or Jewish and there was no gentile justice; there was only English justice.
His comments about the Jews were obviously born of prejudice and, when challenged by Henry Smith, he couldn't substantiate his obviously untrue claim that it was a 'definitely ascertained fact' that a Jew had committed the Whitechapel murders, just as no-one here can.
