Back in London

After the best part of a week on the road I’ve finally made it back to London. I didn’t manage to achieve everything I set out to do but it’s still been a very productive week on a number of different levels. On the train back down I received an email saying that Unite in the East and West Midlands and the GMB in the East Midlands were all supporting the HOPE not hate campaign.

However, I also read a rather strange article in the Independent in which Holocaust Denier David Irving claimed that Hitler appointed him to write his biography. I kid you not.

“

Mr Irving, 70, told The Independent his belief was based on a 1970s meeting with Erwin Giesing, the doctor who treated Hitler after the bomb attempt on his life in 1944.

“He claimed that, when calling at Giesing's surgery in Aachen, the doctor replied 'Yes, I've been expecting you.'”

Anyway, I’ll leave it to you to decide on the state of Irving’s mind….
