Irving comments: READERS of my website will
know that on Monday February 10 I
posted a link to the Evening
Standard article: London
Evening Standard hypes book by
revisionist Michael
Hoffmann, and I
predicted:
"Famous
columnist A N Wilson will now be
sent to the stake."
With
what speed has this famous
columnist been forced to eat
dirt! With what efficiency has
the article itself been yanked
from the newspaper's website!
What nail-biting, jibbering fear
must have seized the offices of
the newspaper, above Derry &
Tom's store in Kensington High
Street, as they realised what he
had written.
How excellent
that the article was by then
already cached in computers
around the world, and easily
accessible. We have resuscitated
it on our website so that readers
can marvel at Wilson's original
courage, and savour the petrified
fear of the editor of the evening
newspaper which led him to
publish the cringing apology at
left.

London,
Thursday, February 13, 2003, page
11 An
apology ON MONDAY, the
Evening Standard published a
column
by A N Wilson in which he set out
his views on Israel's record in the Middle
East. The Evening Standard
fundamentally disagrees with the opinions
expressed by Mr Wilson but as with all its
columnists, allows him freedom of
expression. The column, however, made reference to
one Michael Hoffman who, unbeknown
to Mr Wilson, is a notorious white
supremacist and holocaust denier. It is a
matter of great regret that Mr Hoffman or
any of his propaganda was publicised. The
Evening Standard is taking
appropriate action to prevent any such
recurrence. We apologise to readers who were
rightly offended by the material in A N
Wilson's column.
