On David Irving's website we find this statement:
"There was a large potential for interesting and important debate. The right of free speech has been compromised.
Words spoken to the wind. The long anticipated debate between Rampton and Irving was to have taken place today. Immense pressure was applied to have that debate canceled, with Oxford Union resisting as long as they could but finally caving in. Here is what came in just now from the Peterborough column:
[START]
Free speech under threat at Oxford Union
The Oxford Union has withdrawn its invitation to Holocaust revisionist David Irving to speak at a debate only a day before he was to take the podium.
Irving had agreed to face Richard Rampton QC -- who successfully defended Deborah Lipstadt against Irving's libel action last year -- to oppose the motion: "This house would restrict the free speech of extremists ."
Irving was disinvited yesterday after an open meeting of union members. The union's press officer says:
"We are very disappointed. The meeting of members yesterday morning was staffed by a very vocal minority who were worried about student safety. There was no real threat to safety. Instead, there was a large potential for interesting and important debate. The right of free speech has been compromised by objections led, to a large extent, by the student union."
This is the third time Irving has had an invitation to speak in the city withdrawn. Last year, a smaller Speaker's meeting was vetoed on the grounds that it would give Irving "the platform to give a talk and answer inappropriate questions". And just before Christmas, the Oxford Reform Club also withdrew an invitation amid concerns over safety.

Now compare that shameful caving in to the Jewish censors, compared to this sweet little item, also found on Irving's site:
[START]
Irving addressed senior pupils at Latymer High School, West London, for two hours on Friday despite attempts by three pupils, one of them the son of a barrister, to close down the long-planned meeting (their parents forced school governors to withdraw the original invitation); angry pupils rented their own hall outside the school precincts to hear the historian speak
[END]
What does all that teach you? That the enemy gets ever more frantic - and that there's trickle-down Revisionism even to the high school level where kids, not yet corrupted, assert themselves in ways that ought the corrupt school and university officials hang their heads in shame!
An additional small little item of interest to my readers, which I am using as a preface to my Thought for the Day:
Keep this in mind as you read the item about Syrian President Bashar al-Assad below:
Maybe Bashar al-Assad does not even know that fully 82 percent of the Israeli and Diaspora Jews are the descendants of "converted" Khazars! Ethnically they have absolutely no thread of connection to the semitic inhabitants of the Holy Land! They are nothing but brazen imposters!
Does anybody feel another Revisionist battle coming on?
(See the Christian Jew Benjamin Freedman's excellent study "Facts are Facts" about this little-known fact of Jewish history.
Thought for the Day:
DAMASCUS, May 8 (AFP) -
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad hit out Tuesday at accusations of anti-semitism levelled against him by Israel and Jewish organisations, saying that Arabs themselves were Semites.
"It is regrettable that there are still parties who fear historical truths being mentioned and who accuse us Semites of being anti-semitic," he said while seeing off Pope John Paul II from Damascus international airport.
