"I say that you have made that up."
You appear to be grasping at straws to make some political capital - please feel free, as you have little else in your favour.
Perhaps you might like to make some more from my mistake in naming Martin Walker as the authour of Holocaust - it was, of course Martin Gilbert - a slip on my part - Martin Walker was the author of the excellent 'The National Front'. It makes no difference whatever to the point I made - the British establisment, including members of the royal family was riddled with Nazi sympathisers.
"Chamberlain's speech was long before the start of the extermination."
His statement was a reflection of the ambiguity towards the rise of Fascism in Germany and the desire to appease - persecution of the Jews was already well under way and was known worldwide.
Whatever Brian Hanley says about the stance of the IRA towards Nazism, there are ten times as many to contradict him, but it is beside the point - I repeat WHAT HAS THIS TO DO WITH ANYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING IN IRELAND TODAY?
Dick is entitled to state his opinions on the IRA, on Tom Barry, on whoever; they are his opinions and certainly not mine 0- take it up with him.
