Many accused him of using antisemitic tropes: Sharp’s thick lips, large nose, hooded eyes, the squid, a nearby pig’s head. I was one of those who had no doubt these were antisemitic tropes. … I had drawn an antisemitic cartoon, yet I had not been aware I was doing so. Rowson now sees that the original cartoon drew on antisemitic tropes and apologises for this. I am glad he apologised for the antisemitic tropes in his cartoon in April, but I remain puzzled by the silences in both his apologies.
