Jewish Voice for Labour film screening evacuated after bomb threat

A FILM screening put on by the left-wing Jewish Voice for Labour (JvL) organisation was disrupted by a bomb hoax last night.

Police evacuated 200 people from a women's education centre in Liverpool after a receptionist received a phone call in which a man said: "Is there a Jewish event going on?" and, when told there was a Labour event but that the receptionist did not know whether it was Jewish, said: "It's a big Jewish event, I want to say there are two bombs that will kill many people."

JvL was showing Jon Pullman's film The Political Lynching of Jackie Walker at Blackburne House during Labour Party conference.
