back TWO days after being
barred from speaking at the Oxford Union,
the "revisionist" historian David
Irving is smarting at another
snub. His books have been withdrawn from
public libraries in his home borough of
Westminster, pending a council
inquiry. "I am far from pleased," Irving tells
me. "Particularly as I have been a
Westminster ratepayer for 40 years or
more. "My books are borrowed countrywide by
thousands of readers, as I know from my
PLR cheque each year, and it seems odd
that the wishes of many Westminster
borrowers are flouted by the concerns of a
few." Westminster claims that the books will
be returned to their library shelves
pronto. "We've had time to consider the issue
and will be returning the books," says a
spokesman. Edited by Sam
