Martin Rowson’s apology can help us reflect on our own prejudices

Martin Rowson’s moving and heartfelt apology (Bite the air in Britain and you can taste the prejudices that haunt us. I’m sorry I became part of that, 26 July) is a reminder to every one of us – to Jews like me, too – of the prejudices of which we are all capable.

How I really wish that Jeremy Corbyn could find it within himself to emulate Rowson, own up to his past abject failure to recognise antisemitism, and get on with the urgent business of uniting to remove the Tories and their allies from power.
