News about Martin Rowson

The Guardian's editor has written to apologize to the ex-BBC chairman who was embroiled in a controversy over a'sickening' cartoon in the paper. Katharine Viner has been threatened to resign over a publicity picture that depicted Richard Sharp, a Jew, with "outsized grotesque features." She has also agreed to speak with the UK's top Jewish body to 'discuss their worries.' The Board of Deputies of British Jews said yesterday that they would also have "other examples of questionable production." It was drawn by cartoonist Martin Rowson and featured the ex-Goldman Sachs banker, Rishi Sunak's head, and what seemed to be gold coins.

With Ms Viner (right), the Board of Deputies of British Jews requested a'urgent meeting' over the'shocking' cartoon (inset), 'far from the first time the paper has crossed the line.' Martin Rowson's controversial portrait of Mr Sharp (left), who is Jewish, was depicted as a skeleton of anti-Semitic tropes, according to experts. On Friday, Mr Sharp abruptly resigned as BBC chairman after a investigation revealed that he broke the rules by refusing to reveal his involvement in assisting former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in obtaining a £800,000.000 loan. The cartoon, which was released on Saturday, depicted the ex-Goldman Sachs banker pulling a box from the bank filled with a squid and what seemed to be gold coins.

DOMINIC LAWSON: All I wanted to do was to lift the spirits of the Ukrainian mother we were hosting, as well as her son. It was discovered that it was a little more expensive than it should have been. Last Wednesday morning, I went online to buy a one-month subscription through my BT Broadband account, at £29.99. I discovered it on my Sky box an hour later. It wasn't. So I called BT and told me that although it will be available on my smartphone, it will only be viewable on TV if I had a smart Samsung one (which I don't have). Then there's no point in me seeing this because I'd like to watch it on a big screen with my house guests. I begged her to cancel my subscription.

After releasing an offending cartoon of ex-BBC chairman Richard Sharp depicting Jewish stereotypes, the Left-wing Guardian newspaper was accused of'shocking' antisemitism last night. Martin Rowson's (pictured) controversial photograph depicted a gruesome caricature of Sharp, who is Jewish, with what experts describe as a series of antisemitic tropes. Sharp resigned as the BBC chairman on Friday after a survey revealed that he broke the rules by refusing to reveal his involvement in assisting Boris Johnson in obtaining a £800,000 loan.
