he is today without the wealth of experience he gained under his uncle’s tutelage. “I believe getting as much experience in your field early on is vital to success, as well as having a mentor to support and guide you, which I had for the first 20 years of my business life.” Stephen’s involvement in all stages of design and selling allowed him to form close relationships with clients, a vital part of his business. “I learned how to manage a business in all areas. This included developing sample ranges, sales, negotiation with factories, through to actually shipping the item to a customer.” Stephen believes strongly in businesses taking full responsibility for their products, saying “Rigorous

“I’m the oldest in this business in the UK, that’s how I stand apart,” says Stephen Roston with a dry laugh. At 59, Stephen, owner and managing director of BS clothing group, has amassed a hugely successful design and supply company, specialising in the production of own brand children’s wear, sold nationally and globally in retail chain stores. “I left school at 15 and went straight into retail. That led to joining the family business, and then I started my own company 20 years ago.” Stephen says he wouldn’t be where

it’s how you handle a problem. When it all goes well, everyone can deal with it, but it is not just about how well you do in sales.” “If someone supplies you something faulty, you don’t want them to go out of business because of it. Deal with it and move on. No one causes a problem on purpose.” Stephen also deals closely with factories in China and says the keys to doing business with foreign clients and suppliers are understanding their culture and building trust. “Over time, I learnt how best to approach and do business with them. The way I see it, if there’s no trust, there’s no relationship and no business.” Knowing when to change direction within your career is important for continued success. Stephen branched out eight months ago to do entrepreneur and consultancy work and says it was one of the best decisions he made. “Don’t get me wrong, designing and supplying products is a fantastic business to be in, but it can be a testing one. I was ready for a new path where I could still remain in my chosen career but take things a little easier.” He now advises on retail selling, working with managers and CEOs of chain stores, as well as large

safety testing was an important part of what I did. I have designed children’s wear for over 35 years, and in my experience, it is the hardest sector to produce. Nothing can go wrong.” However, Stephen regards human error as a normal and expected occurrence in a driven business environment. “At the end of the day,

SHAMEFUL DECISION

As the dust settles following the Manchester Arena bombing, more details have emerged about the catastrophe, as leaders from around the world continue to oﬀer their tributes and condolences. Police say that 22-year-old Salman Abedi, a student at Salford University, blew himself up as American singer Ariana Grande had just ﬁnished performing her last song on stage. The casualties were high, with 22 people murdered so far, 59 injured, some critically, and children as young as 8 years old being counted among the dead. The attack took place at just after 10.30pm on Monday night in a public area just outside the entrance to the Manchester Arena next to Victoria station. Manchester is home to the second largest Jewish community in Britain and several terror attacks have been foiled by the security forces in the past few years including an

Shock and horror is how so many responded to last Saturday nights devastating attack on London Bridge as details are still emerging of the three Jihadi attackers who have all been named. But questions remain over why two of the three terrorists were known and flagged to security services but nothing was done about them. Italian authorities say they informed British police and MI5 about the third terrorist, but it seems because more than 3000 other potential radical Islamists were being watched, these three individuals were not deemed dangerous. Dozens of people across the country have since been detained but many have now been released as police identified the brutal killers just hours after 50 bullets were pumped into their bodies last Saturday night. Armed with foot-long knives and wearing fake suicide bomb vests during the deadly rampage, Britain suffered it’s third separate Islamic terror attack in just over two months. One terrorist last Saturday night is reported to have shouted “this is for my family, this is for Islam” as he stabbed victims, while another

said “this is for Allah” as he knifed a man near a pub. Since 22 March, 34 innocent people have been killed and more than 200 have been injured in the three terrorist attacks. Never before has a British general election campaign been suspended twice due to the suicide bombing at the Manchester Arena and last weekend’s vehicle and stabbing attack on London Bridge and its surrounding streets. At least during the height of the IRA bombing campaign on the mainland in the seventies and eighties, the terrorists gave a coded warning to police so they “sometimes” had time to evacuate innocent people. But extremist attacks such as these can strike at any time with absolutely no warning. Security and emergency forces were swift in arriving at the scene of the attack last weekend with years of regular preparation for such a scenario and in doing so saving many more lives. From the time police received telephone calls that a vehicle had hit pedestrians on London Bridge, it took an armed unit just eight minutes to reach the scene, identify the terrorists and shoot all three assailants dead.

But he returned to his seat and his family. The three men then walked over with security guards to the long table where the Collier family were eating and asked them to leave, which they did. David Collier said “I am now considering a civil suit against the QEII building as I am a member of the press, who was being evicted on discriminatory grounds.” The pro-Palestinian event was almost cancelled after Communities Secretary Sajid Javid was concerned that the organisers, Friends of Al Aqsa, had links to terror groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. But in the end the event was given the go ahead and billed as “the biggest social, cultural and entertainment event on Palestine to ever take place in Europe.” Speakers included anti-Zionist Israeli-born Ilan Pappe and Miko

Several Jews were evicted from last weekend’s “cultural and family event”, known as Palestine Expo, at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre (QEII) in London. When Jason Silver sat down to eat lunch, which was included in the price of his ticket, and placed a kippa on his head, he was asked to leave. The incident, which was captured on video and went viral on the internet, showed the organisers asking a security guard to remove Mr Silver. Police were called when he insisted that all he was doing was eating lunch, noting that he had been there for three hours and that it was when he put on his kippa that he was asked to leave. Elsewhere Mr David Collier sat down to eat lunch without a kippa, but with his wife and child, and was spotted by members of a local anti-Israel group called “London Palestine Action.” “I saw an activist called Andrew Nelis before he saw me,” said Mr Collier. “I then saw Jackie Walker enter the room and start talking to him.

In an astonishing move Sadiq Khan has overturned Barnet Council’s decision to grant planning permission to build a brand new Hasmonean school for boys not far from where the Hasmonean Girls’ School is situated on Page Street in London’s Mill Hill neighbourhood. The London Mayor cited Green Belt land concerns and ruled that building plans for the new project are far too excessive and could have a negative eﬀect on open space areas and controlling urban growth. For several years, Jewish secondary schools in the North West London area have been hugely oversubscribed and parents have been desperate to obtain places in any Jewish school for their children. Numbers will only continue to increase in the coming years

and it is diﬃcult to see how this need can be met without the redevelopment of Hasmonean or another brand new Orthodox school. An insider close to the project told the Jewish Weekly that if the expansion plan does not take place, Jewish children will not even have an option to get into a non-Jewish school. The unnamed source known to The Jewish Weekly said of Sadiq Khan, “This is a person who spoke at Jewish Care and now a Muslim Mayor of all people is overturning a democratic elected council decision to build a new Jewish school.” In February, Barnet Council’s planning committee narrowly gave the go-ahead through a cross-party vote for a major building redevelopment project on greenbelt land owned by the council. The result was

greeted with jubilation as some three-hundred people packed into the committee room to clap and cheer once they knew the decision had been passed. The boys would have moved into the newly built premises by 2020 and Hasmonean pupils on the new site would have increased from its current annual role of 1100 pupils to 1400 per year. But this latest move from the Mayor’s oﬃce has sent shivers into the community because there does not appear to be many other options available to cater for a growing Orthodox community that requires Jewish education for its children. The insider close to the project did point out that they expected the Mayor’s oﬃce may suggest a compromise of turning the Hasmonean on Page Street into a mixed school and thereby save vital Green Belt land. “This however was out of the question and could never be accepted,” the source said. There are currently 635 boys on the Holders Hill campus in Hendon – a school that was only designed for 350.

smoke as he was not wearing a mask and became one of the casualties taken to hospital. Screams were heard from other flats close by as the black smoke thickened, and Alex was unable to return to locate his mother’s dog. Sandra Carney from Bell Lane in Hendon told The Jewish Weekly how her son and daughter-in-law asked their mother if her dog could stay over with them that night. “In the end, it was Daisy that saved their lives because she woke them up by barking.” Mrs Carney added, “If it wasn’t for her I could have been burying my son and his pregnant wife – she saved my children’s lives.” She said that she was so thankful the dog stayed over that night. However Sandra also spoke about her sadness about how their 3-year-old dog, who was like a member of the family, had died. “The firemen found her lifeless body and it was so sad.” Alex and his wife were placed in the flat by the council for two months whilst a more permanent home could be found, “but they lost everything except the night clothes they

A dog named Daisy raised the alarm last Sunday morning on Golders Green Road and probably saved the lives of at least two people. But sadly Daisy, a cross between a poodle and a cavalier, was overwhelmed with smoke inhalation and died in the flat. Events unfolded quickly when smoke was spotted by a passerby who entered the newspaper store next door to Kay’s kosher grocery store after 7 a.m. Within a few minutes fire services arrived as families in flats above were hanging their children out of windows, screaming for help. Alex Gibson and his pregnant wife Charlotte had been woken earlier by Daisy, who had been barking intensely. The flat above Kays was filled with black smoke as panic set in and the dog continued to bark. Mr Gibson smashed a window just before fire engines arrived but then saw they were able to get out through the rear stairs. In the confusion the dog ran back into the flat and hid behind some furniture. At that point a fireman raced up a ladder to take toddlers to safety from the window, but he himself was eventually overcome with

With less than four weeks before perhaps the most important general election in twenty years, party helpers were out in their droves along with their party candidates knocking on doors and hoping to turn out the vote on 8 June. In Finchley and Golders Green, Conservative candidate Mike Freer (pictured) said he felt good about the response he received on the doorsteps. The heart of the Orthodox community in Golders Green, which is generally a 90% Conservative area, was targeted last Sunday. Elsewhere the Labour candidate Jeremy Newmark was out with CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

He shouted, “Where is the boss, I will kill him.” Staff at the second kosher store replied several times that the owner was not there and the man eventually ran out of the shop and onto the street, still armed with the weapons. The male described as white then allegedly ran towards two young Jewish girls aged 14 and 8, shouting “You Jews run away from here before I kill you,” according to Shomrim. When Shomrim arrived at the scene, they were told the armed man had run towards a block of flats close by. Shomrim volunteers followed him into the area and cordoned off the zone, stopping all members of the public from approaching. Another Shomrim team who arrived on the scene retrieved the CCTV from one of the shops to get an idea of what they were dealing with. Soon after the police arrived, an armed unit appeared on the scene and were immediately sent in to where the suspect was last

Speaking at the International Bible Quiz prior to the vote, Prime Minister Netanyahu said “There was no nation in the world to whom Jerusalem was more holy than to the Jewish people.” He continued by saying “I know that today there is a vote in UNESCO that will try to deny that simple truth - we reject UNESCO.”

Prime Minister Theresa May gave a statement outside Downing Street, where she condemned the “appalling” terrorist attack, as “one of the worst terror attacks the UK had seen.” She said that the city had fallen victim to “a callous terrorist attack,” and that her thoughts and prayers were with all the victims, families and friends of those aﬀected.” President Donald Trump who was visiting Bethlehem to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, told the media that “this wicked ideology must be obliterated.” He went on to say how “all innocent lives must be protected, and my thoughts are with the people of Manchester.”

n an astonishing move Marine Le Pen stepped down as leader of the National Front party in what is being seen as an apparent calculated move to appear more presidential as she heads into the second and final round to become the next French president. With an unprecedented total of 11 candidates last Sunday, Marine Le Pen saw off nine of them and will now face the independent and centralist figure Emmanuel Macron on 7 May. This will be the first time since the current presidential system was introduced in 1958 that no candidate from the main centre left or centre right parties have reached the final round. The current president, Francois Hollande, who took office in May 2012, has urged the

French people to endorse Emmanuel Macron in a bid to keep out the former National Front leader. Hollande, who did not stand for re-election, has seen his socialist party plummet in popularity in the past two years, and under the new socialist leader, Benoit Hamon, the party received just 6.4% of the vote. Nevertheless Hollande addressed voters from the Elysee Palace, insisting prices will soar, jobs will be lost and the country will be divided if Marine Le Pen is chosen as the next president. He also spoke of the danger of France “becoming isolated and breaking away from the EU” if Le Pen sweeps to power. Hollande’s words sounded very similar to the “project fear” that British referendum Continued Won page 3
