richly deserves.

Leader

No reasoning with Odious Irving

By Mitchell
Symons

DAVID IRVING poses as a historian but he is an antisemitic polemicist. He is embarking on a lecture tour of Britain in an attempt to recoup some of the money he lost bringing a libel action against Deborah Lipstadt, who had accused him of denying the
Holocaust.

He claims: “Freedom of speech is under severe threat at the moment and I think it’s important for me to get out and speak to people directly.”

David Irving comments:

FIRST, my apologies for the belated posting of this
Express article. I belong to the many millions, indeed billions, of people who do not read or subscribe to
The Daily Express,
whose decline since the days of the great Lord
Beaverbrook needs no comment here.

We publish it nonetheless. Many readers compliment us on our policy of posting all relevant news clippings, both the flattering and the fulsome, and those corrupted with un-Christian hatred. This is one of the features, we like to think, that has already raised this website to one of the top 50,000 in the world.

We now have more daily visitors than the website of the truly odious and hatred-filled Anti-Defamation
League (annual budget:
$60m). Still, this
Leader article by “Mitchell
Symons” leaves behind a nasty taste, one which is difficult to identify: It opens questions, like ugly, fly-blown sores. What is known about him? Who can tell us more? [
