At this particular time when liberals seem to think that solidarity with Islam is of such importance that condoning anti-Semitism is a price worth paying, I fear this film might have the opposite effect and bring Irving’s poisonous views back into the limelight. In some cases idiotic conspiracy theorists and Corbynistas on social media may well synonymous with each other, but no doubt the internet abounds with idiots of all political persuasions. Perhaps I am being being biased in making the connection, but with the scandal of anti-Semitism in the labour Party and subsequent whitewash so recent, it's hard not to.<br /><br />I can never support the idea of censorship in the arts and to make this film is a choice. But it could be a bad choice.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818860172734529356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-69901401467813623072017-01-28T16:55:59.016+00:002017-01-28T16:55:59.016+00:00Agreed.

Anyone with no sense wasn't going to be dissuaded by a trial he brought about himself. <br /><br />I think it was wrong to give HMD a legal basis in the UK. We didn't participate in it and the number of UK victims (about 300, mostly not civilans) was relatively small. Up until HMD was declared I don't think there was any doubt about the holocaust in the minds of most British people. But HMD has provided a focus for propagandists from other causes to argue that their "genocides" (real or imagined) should be memorialised as well. Thus we have the grotesque spectacle of anti-Jewish Palestinians seeking to muscle in on the Day. HMD has just become another day in the PC calendar to forward the "project" of mass immigration, acceptance of undocumented migrants, normalising Sharia and entrenching PC Multiculturalism as an unchallengeable dogma. <br /><br />I would prefer that in this country we leave the Holocaust to historians, as a mass murder in which millions died and which is an established fact.
