The above appears in the Telegraph on May 6th 2026. It refers to the World Snooker Championship that concluded in Sheffield on BH Monday. An accompanying cartoon shows Farage sinking a blue ball. A fair enough political comment on the May 7th election s it might be thought. Except…
Farage is shown with mouth open and a cigarette dangling from it. Quite true to life it might be suggested.
By contrast Polanski is depicted as having a hooked nose that he does not have. It was an image widely used in Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda in the 1930s.
Keir Starmer has said that there is an anti-semitism crisis in the UK. In fact anti-semitism has been a feature of British life for a very long time and one that needs to be opposed where ever it appears. That goes for the Telegraph cartoon. Don’t expect the police to raid the Telegraph’s offices though


Surely, all Jewish people will be offended by this blatant antisemitism?
This is the REAL Alister Heath headline for May 7:
Antizionism is a totalitarian conspiracy theory rotting the West from within
Beyond parody!
