Irving: The debate simmers on

The judgment has revealed the historian to be a cynical manipulator of historical information. His views are distasteful, extreme and offensive to the vast majority. But this does not excuse the disgraceful behaviour of those outside the court who threw eggs at Mr Irving.The crimes of the Nazis were far from unique. The mass murder carried out in the name of international communism surpassed even the evil of Hitler. We must not allow communist sympathisers and apologists to brand their form of extremism as purely anti-Nazi. Hard-line extremists, whether of the right or left, are cynical manipulators of the truth.
