to David Irving©Focal Point 1998-2013
"Mild Fascist" OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO, on May 1, 1959 the Daily Mail reporter Clifford Luton quoted David Irving, then a student at London University, as saying, "You can call me a mild fascist if you like."
Mr Irving never said it. It is nonsense. The Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Calgary Jewish Community Council of Alberta, Canada, and other malevolent organisations around the world pasted the clipping into their "David Irving" dossiers, however, and they trot it out again and again (with the actual date concealed of course). Luton, later a BBC reporter, was disgraced in a paedophile scandal and vanished from view.
A dossier on this perennial smear is currently being compiled.

Yes, he is the Daily Mail reporter who on May 1, 1959 ran the story "Mild fascist pulls a fast one," which the Jews have draped around my neck ever since. As a Christian, I feel sorry for him. The British media have two current obsessions, racism and paedophilia. There are more urgent things to worry about in Britain right now. Being named Luton was not a good start for him: Cheltenham or Gloucester, or Wellington or Nelson perhaps. But it might have been Neasden.
