Losing his libel action doesn't automatically make the thinking behind David Irving's statement invalid? As you said, "a good comment on the present sad state of UK today ..."
Lest we forget.........
JP Justice condemned Mach78 for even posting this reminder-tribute, and dismissed it as demeaning and French-bashing.
Doesn't do much to boost confidence in the sort of people who apply to become JP's.
JP: Do you really think it's appropriate to use JP in your username (and profile) (a) at all, and (b)if you are going to express such controversial views?
Didn't Judge Pickles get into hot water over this sort of thing?
I accept that JP's hold only a minor position in the court system, but they still perform a judicial function.
I don't pretend to know the rules but, don't you have some responsibility not to express controversial and/or political views publicly - especially if (for some reason
) you get pleasure out of using "JP"? Expect it goes down well at the golf club
Thank you for your thoughtful post
Mach78 It's good for us to be reminded, on a specific day, of a specific event in our history. Other such events are remembered on different days, and all such events are remembered on "Remembrance Day".
(I notice that even JP didn't suggest you were wrong in saying the French are rather cosy with the Germans.)
