One anecdote I’d like to add : a middle-aged, conservative friend told me he attended a school reunion; his equally conservative old headmaster asked him what he was doing and he said he was studying Hebrew to train for the Christian ministry. The headmaster recoiled, saying ‘Good God, Hebrew? Hebrew?’ and launched into a rant about the fact that there were ‘entirely too many Jews in the Tory party’ and that ‘that Oliver Letwin [prominent Jewish Tory] needs to be left out of any Cabinet’ etc etc. My friend was quite shocked and told me Anglo-Jewry would have been proud of him as he fiercely defended them, but the headmaster was without remorse for his comments.
