There have been penalties for those who looked the other way when Epstein was convicted of child sex offences and decided to maintain relationships with the financier — but not for the British ambassador to Washington, reveals SOLOMON HUGHES

IN A vain attempt to tidy up my clothes at home I came across a T-shirt emblazoned with “Always be yourself. But if you can’t be yourself, be Paul Robeson. Always be Paul Robeson.”
I’m not sure where I got this T-shirt but Robeson has always been one of the great inspirations of my life. He even had his feet firmly planted in two of my other great loves of music and sport. His bass-baritone voice was awe-inspiring especially for me with his rendition of Ole Man River.
Robeson was also — as I am sure many will know — a great athlete, particularly in American football where he was a college great. A feat all the more inspiring because of the way he overcame the racism that surrounded him which sought to block his progress.
