Josh is someone who actually has been certified by the Home Office to train police officers on anti-Semitism and on countering extremism.
Yes, he is somebody who had been previously convicted but he is someone who has shown contrition for his crimes, has been rehabilitated and is spending every day working to solve the very problem which he knew that he had caused previously.
