Over to you. Are you starting to understand the context of political expediency yet?

Mr A, you've lost me on this one.
The radio intercepts have been well known for some years now. It's also well known that they were decrypted at Bletchley Park and there was no way the British Government could have divulged their contents publicly during WW2 without advertising to the Germans the fact that they had cracked the Enigma. Churchill could not act on intelligence about mass slaughter of the Jews without placing the wider war effort in peril - a war effort that was, ultimately, going to be the only practical means of closing down the death camps.
Is it your understanding that Griffin was saying (or would have said, had he been given sufficient time to articulate it) that his acceptance of the Holocaust is tied up with these intercepts entering the public domain?
