So, setting that aside, we're back to "the culpability of the UK government in allowing the Holocaust to go on.."
Over to you. Are you starting to understand the context of political expediency yet?

That was not the current UK government although I imagine they would defer from intervening in other genocides (Rwanda anyone?) which is not much better.
He changed his views because he knew it would turn off a lot of people (although a lot still wouldn't mind, which is depressing). I don't think his reason was good because out of all the other evidence; the people who were there, the soldiers who saw the camps, the camps themselves, the testimony of Germans and former Nazis, the documentation and the bodies, that he wouldn't be convinced until radio incepects is obviously rubbish.
Such views are not a politician's cover up of incompetence they are a cover up of the sick beliefs of him and his ilk.
No other politician would be given the free ride if this emerged about their past as Nick Griffin is from people. If this were Jack Straw's past this forum would be up in arms.
