"I will not speak about Ken Loach because he's a man of love. He has been an extraordinary father, and is a compassionate, wonderful, loving, brilliant grandfather to three Jewish boys. ["Then Levey looks [interviewer Kate Maltby] straight in the eye"] But I will reiterate, as a rule of thumb, maybe donât say antisemitic things, if youâre worried about that being a slur. It's probably best to keep shtoom. [...] If youâre worried about people continually calling you antisemitic, maybe donât say antisemitic things?"
