Think Historian David Irving...the furore when he was due to speak at Oxford Union was far more dangerous than anything Irving has ever said. Regardless of how sensible it seems we MUST be allowed to question things, such as historical events like the German Holocaust of WWII. The Jewish Defense League (JDL) have done a lot to lesson free speech from virtually anyone who uses a bewilderingly large range of language. The time they tried to ruin a David Icke book signing by throwing cake at him and only succeeded in ruining a load of childrens book was tragic proof that people who attempt to silence that which they don't like are moronic.
It also painted the JDL in an appauling light, suggesting that in the modern age people may only attach unjust stigmas to Jewish people because of the JDL's stance against so much.
People are scared. Even on this relatively open board there are many comments left unsaid.

I must say it is extraordinary.
I think people mad enough to believe there never was any mass killing by the Nazis are deluded.
I think those who say it never happened are barking mad.
But I think those who lock them up for saying it are far, far worse criminals. And that is where we are all heading.
I just wonder whether the media, hell bent on intellectual bullying, are aware of what they are doing to themselves.
It's like the lunatics who condemn human rights - as though they themselves are not humans.
Total insanity in my book. But they simply do not see it.
Historian who does not agree with most people's view of the Second World War has been arrested for PUBLISHING articles on the internet.
Free speech and movement is being eradicated each day by NEW LABOUR.
Yes I dont like this man's views - and I think he is wrong - but he is NOT A CRIMINAL for having a different view. Where does this end - should we arrest all JEWS because they DENY Jesus is the Messiah ? Should we arrest all ISLAMICS because they believe what Mohammed said ? Should we arrest all those UFO believers because we dont agree with them ?
Our country wants to TELL US what we believe - we are in more danger than we have ever been in our history since Magna Carta.
Another sad day for the UK - we used to be a symbol for FREE SPEECH in the World. Now we are another tinpot Dictatorial state.
