A Radical’s Diary — Jan 2005 (01 Jan 2005 #9522)

Documents on the Posted Wednesday, March 4, 2009 More women died on the back seat of Senator Kennedy’s car at Chappaquiddick than in that gas chamber at Auschwitz. [ Previous Radical’s Diary ] March 1, 2009 (Sunday) Windsor (England) A CORRESPONDENT sends me links to Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Times articles about Bishop Williamson .

Not bad and, I expect on legal advice, they now studiously avoid calling me a ” Holocaust denier ,” while working round that smear as nastily as they can. I send a reader’s letter to the Sunday Telegraph at nine a.m : The actual statement was “More women died on the back seat of Senator Kennedy’s car at Chappaquiddick than in that gas chamber at Auschwitz” – the one shown to the tourists. It was built in 1948, as the Polish inscription outside now admits.

The Williamson controversy is in its last throes, I think. B. is here and we agree details of a mini tour of the Midlands — Oxford 13th, Birmingham 14th, Manchester 15th, Halifax 16th . We now have to postpone Norway until that replacement Visa card comes. How ridiculous. 6:10 p.m Ryan Kisiel of the Mail phones impatiently — am I going to send him the things he wants for the Hitler article in the Daily Mail or not?

I say quite bluntly that I am not going to help him, because they will not be paying, and so there is nothing in it for me. He replies sharply, with a rude edge on his voice, “David, you’ve got to realize that Fleet Street newspapers will never, ever, pay any money to you.” I chuckle out loud and say they just have, and hang up.

I should have mentioned to him that his bosses at The Daily Mail paid me ten thousand in 1983 for a couple of pages of the fake Hitler Diaries , a lot of money in those days. I am sorry I wasted my time on him. Thumbs up from Jae, who overhears this brief conversation. At six-thirty pm I drive Jessica
