We know that he didn't like Jews - in fact, he thought Sir Trevor McDonald a bit of a card also. His first weekend out of clinky will be well appreciated, I'm sure...but how long will it be before BNP's chairman, Nick Griffin decides to give him wee call?

...as he also denies the Holocaust also.

That's for sure, Tony...a the word 'martyr' - and how it's used - is about as laughable as the word 'respect' nowadays - in the UK anyhow!

It is probably most likely that he will be remembered as a fanatic by most in the world population... though I think the idea of modifying the term "misguided historian" and saying "misguided amateur historian" is pretty accurate too. Some will probably see him as a martyr or a hero, but so few of the world's population who will know his name support his ideas... and he ignores or manipulates evidence (explicitly) too often for most to really consider him an historian--at least on the sujbect of Judaism and Holocaust history.

To call him a martyr would devalue the word. A misguided amateur historian seems more appropriate - any historian with a professional attitude to evidence would not make such wild errors.

I'd call him a LIAR.
