"This is an abuse of process. This is a legal ambush. It's not British law where the individual still has freedoms," he told the court.

It still puzzles me that Europeans don’t feel any sense of embarrassment or shame at imprisoning people who publish research that questions the standard version of W.W. II. The E.U. is an illiberal, totalitarian monster that has no business lecturing the Chinese, Iranians, etc. about the concept of free inquiry and free speech.

"What we have seen is Nazi Germany in pinstriped suits. This is going to get worse, it is a contagion spreading around the world.

"If British soldiers who went up the beaches of Normandy could see what has happened now they would not have gone 40 yards up the beach.

"Either you have freedom of speech or you don't. Freedom of speech is the freedom to be wrong. It is possible that what I or he says is wrong but to know something is true you have to test it against untrue opinion.

"I feel sorry for him and the costs to the taxpayer. I know he is not going to have a nice time in prison and I am prepared to invite him to stay at my house as part of a bail application."---"
