OK, fine, Michael Gove has a Holocaust denier book on his shelves, as well as The Bell Curve, which Francis Wheen once summarised as arguing: "Black people are more stupid than white people: always have been, always will be."

In no way would this be a news story if it was Corbyn https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/1257070533369376768">https://twitter.com/OwenJones...

Those people arguing "It& #39;s important to read things you disagree with". Yes it is: but Holocaust denial isn& #39;t a legitimate opinion like, should we nationalise the railways or slash taxes. It& #39;s an evil lie which is illegal in several countries. Irving was jailed for it in Austria.

I subscribe to the Telegraph and read right-wing columnists every day because it& #39;s important to read people I disagree with. You can& #39;t learn anything from a lying book which rewrites history to suit the Nazis, written by someone imprisoned for Holocaust denial.

So all I& #39;d say is, if you& #39;re going to be, no big deal to own a book by David Irving, and pretend to yourself this wouldn& #39;t be a front page story if it was Corbyn or another leftie, please use a different argument than "It& #39;s important to read books by people you disagree with!"
