o/t Ken Loach/ Holocaust denial

[gm_gm]

it seems that the British film director Ken Loach has got into hot water regarding alleged comments about holocaust denial.

I have not read in depth about this yet but his comments on first glance to me seem entirely reasonable. However, it also has raised in my mind some interesting questions regarding this topic . I would like to know your opinion on the following:

Should holocaust denial be a crime?

What constitutes "holocaust denial" ? In some cases just questioning or disputing the actual numbers of people killed in the concentration camps, means you are in danger of being an anti-semite. Is this okay in your opinion? Should all the facts about the holocaust be beyond question?

I am also interested on any other thoughts you have on the topic.

I think hes spent too much time with Corbyn

Ok. I'm of Jewish decency for which I am proud, so having my bell end circumcised at 70 or any age, well **** off. We never had any problems at green lane closures clinic when I went there.

Would you believe anything that IBS puts on this site, given his previous record? I wouldn't.

Thought crime is ridiculous and impossible to police. As well as being just wrong.

Yes truly Orwellian and could one day occur. Time to go gently into the good night if so.

Can i just say that the response to this thread has been very disappointing.

I can only assume that people are too scared to talk about the topic.....which won't do at all.

Interestingly (to me at least) the equally well-attested massacre of 1.5m Armenians by the Turks is not recognised as genocide by the UK government and the European Court of Human Rights ruled that it was not a crime to deny the massacre had taken place.
