A fantastic movie called ‘Denial’ came out recently concerning the David Irving court about Holocaust denial. Believe the BBC helped produce it.

Several years ago I had the misfortune to come across this man and some his "fans". Very strange people. Was watching Celtic on TV at the old Celtic Supporters Club upstairs in the Lectern on Lewes Road, and was then going to get the park and ride bus to Withdean. Came downstairs to the main bar and he was doing a book signing in the pub, with about 15 or so attendees. The landlord had not been asked in advance and had been caught off guard. He also had no idea who David Irving was. I am guessing he is unable (quite rightly) do do any publicised public appearances. A friend of mine tried to play ignorant and ask a couple of them who David Irving was and what kind of history he wrote. They all dodged the question and said nonsense like "he's well known because he writes honest history which some people choose to vilify". In retrospect I wished we'd kicked up a bit more of a fuss in there but we just walked out and went to the Withdean.
They were all 60+. I'd like to say they were clearly old blueshirts or skinheads, but in reality they looked like the type of men you see rounded up by those paedophile hunters on the internet. Absolute weirdos.

How is knowing the population of London a sign of relevant knowledge or stupidity?

I have seen it. Rachel Weisz is terrible in it with some awful dialogue to spice up the facts but all the others are great.

You’re one wierd person.
Yep, the only person I have ever come across who claims the holocaust is of benefit to the Jewish community.

1 in 20 UK adults don't believe The Holocaust happened? 1 in 20 UK adults are ignorant pigs then. Simples.

They are forced to do it because of the levels of anti-semitism that exist both in this country and others. It is a level found higher amongst the upper echelons of society than down amongst ordinary working people. It is a prejudice of envy. it is a prejudice passed down by generations, who have continued to protect their place in the Establishment. It seeps into the blood of many of a privileged background. It is in the Public School, it is in the Civil Service, it is in the Foreign Office, it is in the corporate work-place and it is in political life in a huge way. Many deny it exists but they tend not to have studied history or have any appreciation of the workings of the Establishment in this country. It is protectionism. Protecting a way of life that has seen the same ' blue-bloodlines ' follow the same privileged career paths, irrespective of ability, for generation after generation.
The Jewish community have to bind together to help each other. In the past they have found obstruction and difficulty placed in their way. They are talented, clever and inventive. Too clever for some people. They are high achievers in many fields. Without them the fields of science, the arts, film, theatre, television, music, medicine, sport and education would be much the poorer.
The fact that anti-semitism is rife in political life demonstrates the agenda that still exists there. An agenda passed down by previous generations and that is why things have to change. Why this cossetted and privileged cabal has to be re-examined and if necessary reformed. If you do nothing , you allow the status quo to carry on. You allow this agenda to continue.
If you don't believe any of this, just ask yourself when was the last Jewish Prime Minister? and how many talented Jewish politicians have risen through the ranks but been unable secure the highest office. It was nothing to do with ability.

Went to the Doctor recently and told him that since I got divorced, I only want to go out with women called April, May or June. He told me I was suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder.

I guess this post is implying that everyone in the UK is turning into Nazis?
All this poll says is that 1 in 20 people are either conspiracy theorists or of a certain faith. So if there is anything to be concerned about it should be applied in the right direction and not spreading scaremongering propaganda on an invented premise based on a poll.

Went to a lecture with Lipstadt last week and she thought Weisz did well but of course they had to dramatise it to make it more ‘Hollywood’ (her biggest critique was at the time she didn’t even have a dog!)
Jewish scousers must feel really put upon

Commemoration is different to celebration. Forgiving is cool but forgetting is wack, man.

That is a terribly ignorant post.
You cannot possibly compare the Holocaust with “the Jewish propaganda machine” and “move on”
