He reckons that the other victims of the Holocaust aren’t taught about in schools.
Which is out and out bull**
They absolutely are.
But he seems to think that he is an expert on all manner of stuff

In the days when I was much younger and physically able I visited a joke club in London where most of the artists have since become very famous. Unfortunately I was so embarrassed and seriously offended by some of their humour which I didn’t in the least find humorous and I had no idea why the majority were laughing I suppose it takes all sorts that was the first and last time I visited any other clubs of this sort and said never again angry

I honestly don’t think that I’ve despised a person more.
He has such a high opinion of himself.
James O’Brien recently did a podcast interview with him.
I hope that he has removed it.

I can’t see anything educational about it. It is in extremely poor taste and obviously offensive. I appreciate that humour is a personal thing, but I can’t understand why anyone would find his ‘joke’ funny. There is no wit involved at all.

I’ve always despised the man.
I’ve just read what he said about Gypsy Roma Traveller people, and I’m just disgusted.
I’ve worked extensively with Roma children and their families.
He has said that his ‘joke’ was an excellent one because it was ‘educational’.
I wish him nothing but ill.
