"Yes David. There was a holocaust."

Discredited British historian David Irving has been released from prison in Austria and is to serve the remaining two years and a bit of his three year sentence on probation.

No matter how reprehensible I believe his views to be I strongly believe that it is wrong to ban his, or any other's, speech if it stops short of inciting violence and that Germany and Austria have gone too far with these laws. Mein Kampf, the pathetic ramblings of Hitler's distrubed mind is banned in both countries. I think all Germans and Austrians should be forced to read it rather than being prevented from doing so!
