The Taming of the Tempest

In a rare access of moral fibre, the BBC has restored and returned to public display a sculpture of Ariel and Prospero which was vandalised three years ago. Since Ariel and Prospero are the creations of a notorious Jew-baiter, the return of the piece to Broadcasting House risks provoking the wrath of Team Starmer, the Jewish Chronicle, and all the other bastions of that moderate and sensible philosemitism which unconditionally, unequivocally and fanatically equates the Jewish people with the State of Israel. In this case, the BBC presumably took courage from the soothing fact of the sculpture's creator being a Roman Catholic convert whose sex life was practically piquant enough to qualify him for the priesthood.
