Kirsty’s question about which character had first resonated with her as a child, saying: “Oh, Fagin. Without question. Jewish and vile. I didn’t know Jews like that then sadly, I do now.”

I will never stop being surprised at how proactively the Jewish community is censored by the establishment trying to prevent antisemitism.
In their heads anti-Semitism means criticism. Even justifiable criticism.
Especially justifiable criticism.
