The Mayor and the Fascist Press

Thursday, February 17th, 2005

Has everyone missed the point? In likening the journalist Oliver Finegold to a concentration camp guard, Ken Livingstone said that he was “a reactionary scumbag”. How does slagging off the people who oppressed the Jews in the holocaust count as anti-semitism?

Besides, anyone who heard the way Finegold gloated when he said “Great, I have you on record for that”, will have realised at once that he clearly is a scumbag.

First Minister Rhodri Morgan: “He must apologise.”

Mayor Livingstone: “Won’t apologise.”

Fascist Nazi Concentration Camp Guard: “I am not a journalist.”
