The historian David Irving has been jailed for three years for saying the holocaust never happened - in a speech he made 17 years ago. While I agree it was a dreadful and horribly ignorant thing to say, surely that makes him a stupid, nasty person rather than a criminal? Does he really deserve the same prison sentence a rapist would serve?
That's terrible news.
I hope not
THISSSSSSSSSS IS OUTRAGE.
MAN SPEAK HIS MIND AND GO TO JAIL.
I feel more sorry for the student who got fined £80 for being overheard saying "F*ck" in the street.
Is that true? Ridiculous!
I don't actually feel sorry for Irving - I just think it shows up how political incorrectness is almost considered as much a crime as rape or GBH!
