True. This asshole doesn't sound rational at all. SophieWilderModerator 18:47, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
I think some of these quotes are taken out of context. I don't apologize for him, he seems like a pretty educated sort of racist, but if you consider his opinion on black players in sports, it seems like he just means the descendants of nineteenth century slavery are being exploited as spectacles in the sphere of entertainment. His TONE is terrible, though, so I think he probably is at least moderately racist. Regarding the Holocaust though, that is just strange.
^NOPE. Just finished reading the whole entry. WOW that guy is fucked in the head. — Unsigned, by: 173.230.98.68‎ / talk / contribs
"ASSHOLS" is Irving's word for a supposed "Association of Auschwitz Survivors and Other Liars" (Lipstadt judgment @13.95). Calling him an "asshole" looks spectacularly appropriate. ProblemChimp (talk) 16:31, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

[edit] Legal systems

L'affaire Lipstadt was decided under English, not British or United Kingdom, law. The courts and legal systems of England and Wales, of Scotland, and of Northern Ireland are wholly separate. It is not uncommon for Acts of Parliament to come into effect in the three jurisdictions at different dates; a recent example is the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013. To further confuse matters, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man also have their own independent courts and legal systems, and UK Acts of Parliament only have effect there if special provision is made.
