Protests as Oxford hosts BNP leader
Oxford University is set to be invaded by protesters on Monday night as controversial historian David Irving and BNP leader Nick Griffin arrive for a debate.
The Oxford Union is under mounting pressure to withdraw its invitation to the two controversial figures for a freedom of speech event at its debating society.
Hundreds of anti-fascism and minority rights campaigners were planning to gat
More..her outside the debating chamber to jeer the arrival of Mr Irving, who was jailed for Holocaust denial, and Mr Griffin, who has been convicted of race offences.
The decision to invite the pair, made after a vote among members of the debating society, has already outraged equalities watchdog chief Trevor Phillips and prompted a senior Tory MP to resign his life membership of the Union.
Shadow defence minister Julian Lewis said the students should be "ashamed" of themselves.
In a letter to the Union's officers and standing committee, Dr Lewis, MP for New Forest East, said he was resigning his life membership "with great sadness".
In his resignation letter, he said: "Nothing which happens in tonight's debate can possibly offset the boost you are giving to a couple of scoundrels who can put up with anything except being ignored."
The presence of the pair on the list of speakers prompted a series of high profile withdrawals from the platform, including Defence Secretary Des Browne.
Martin McCluskey, president of the Oxford Student Union, said it was "disgraceful" the pair were being given the same platform as past speakers who include Mother Theresa and the Dalai Lama.
A female Asian student was racially abused and threatened with violence on Friday while protesting about the debate, he said. "I think that this incident demonstrates the very real threat to students and others from black and minority ethnic backgrounds," he added.

Racists and holocaust deniers are scum.

Funny that...
David Irving was a well respected historical writer, known for exhaustive research and documentation.
Then he researched and documented something that powerful jews want hidden.
Like all of his previous works he exhaustively researched the "holocaust"...
His conclusions are very well documented.
Believing in the holocaust, without checking into the actual evidence, is just the same as believing in SantaJesus...
And guess what happens when you look at the evidence ??
Both stories fall apart.
Mommy and daddy poured a holocaust story into your soft spot and you believe it just like the fcukwads that believe in SantaJesus...
-10 points for intelligence.

holocaust deniers are pathetic
the Nazis who were put on trial at the Hague admitted their crimes but blamed it on their leaders ("I was following orders")
the Jews themselves -- well they were found after the Allies went in and saw them in those concentration camps
you're either talking about the world's most massive conspiracy ever conducted (with success) or... you're full of shit and you haven't studied the Holocaust

no time for british scumbags. English democrats for english people. British national party are for british people. Tell me my well informed friend why it is that 85 percent of BNP members live in northern ireland? I tell you why.... They are the only british people who live in the uk. The rest of these 'british peolple' are immigrants with a british passport.
Did you not see england versus croatia last week? I spotted maybe two union jacks. Does this not tell you something? English people want to be seen and recognised as english. Being british nowadays is not worth the paper its written on. If you want to be british then i suggest you pack your bags and move to belfast and live with your british comrades, im sure you will find the streets painted red white and blue, every house proudly hangs pictures of the queen on there living room walls, and they all be waving there lovely union jack. Go my friend, enjoy beig a brit, just dont expect the english to follow in your sad sad footsteps. Scotland for the scottish, wales for the welsh. ENGLISH FOR ENGLAND. Just nuke northern ireland and we will all live happily ever after.

Sadly, you are the one who has not studied.
You believe because that is what you were told, just like the SantaJesus story...
It's widely known that those confessions used at Nuremberg were obtained via torture, something that completely invalidates them.
Let's talk about typhus
Let's talk about the fact that the German infrastructure was destroyed so completely that the German people were starving and there was no possibility of getting medical or food supplies to the camps in the last year of the war.
Lets talk about the FACT that there are no prussian blue stains to be found ANYWHERE in the so called Auschwitz gas chamber.
Lets talk about the FACT that Zyklon-B will not kill a room full of people by just throwing it through a window onto the floor. (as was testified at Nuremberg)
I could detail and document, literally, hundreds of things that are wrong with the holocaust story but what would be the point ?
You are either jewish and are obligated to maintain the story regardless of it's truth or you have a SantaJesus faith problem and just don't care to admit it.
My mother told me all the same stupid stories about lampshades made out of tattoos (proven to be false) and I believed that garbage for a good part of my adult life...
If there is any solid evidence to back up the lie, then why is it illegal, punishable by imprisonment, to research the holocaust in most of Europe and Canada ???
Don't worry, SantaMosesJesus will get you a pony for Christmas/Hanuka and all you have to do for it is believe another silly story...

AND I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE ??? like most things Las,you get a little too emotional when things hurt your own feelings-i.e. Putin and Russia and now the holocaust.
WELL i have and still do study it,in a country where this is still NOT a criminal offence to merely question the true figures. David Griffith is an also ran in British Politics,but Mr David Irving is an outstanding researcher (read his books) and NOT A DENIER,but a revisionist-he seeks answers to awkward questions and is not scared of asking them--even Deborah Lipstadt recently admitted that he might not be a denier after all !! FACTS please Lasraver,you are usually full of them.

Take eight people - all of whom are convinced they are 100% English. Then submit a sample of their DNA to a series of state-of-the-art tests...
I would like Griffin to take a DNA test to see how "British" he really is.

your watching to much television my friend. This isnt about dna, its about being a part of england, not britian. If you lived there as I did you would know exactly what I mean. And anyway, this dna stuff, surely this can be said for about 75 percent of the worlds population. Stick to watching channell 4 mate
