The William Hickey column writes:-

 

DESPITE being labelled a liar and a racist, David Irving has no shame about showing his face. The portly charlatan caused a stir when he wafted in like a bad smell to a soiree held by society networker Carole Stone in London on Monday night. Guests including Liberal big wig Des Wilson and chef Anton Mosimann were among those who raised an eyebrow. Carole says: "Yes, David Irving was there, no, I don't know him, and yes, some people were taken aback. My friend, Lady Michele Renouf, asked if she could bring him. It is an open salon and sometimes friends will turn up with a friend unexpectedly" Perhaps Lady Michele will invite one of those who defaced the Cenotaph to Carole's next do.  

 

 

 

 

MR IRVING is happy to share with his supporters his private response to this gutter-journalist, which was sent marked "Not for Publication":

A million pound lollipop was figuratively brandished from the defence lawyers' table throughout the trial, and all those who behaved got a lick at it; their experts like the "scholars" Prof. Evans, Prof. Longerich and others were paid up to £125,000 each (on top of the academic salaries they continued to draw) to testify as they did. Nobody was paying for Mr Irving. His witnesses testified without payment, from conviction. [Help!]
