The revisionist historian David Irving has been convicted to three years in prison in Austria for Holocaust denial.
Not that I feel sorry for the fucker. I mean, he lived in UK and he was barred from Austria for Holocaust denial in 1989. He knew that they had a warrant for his arrest and he went to Austria pretty much to tease the authorities there. If he wanted free speech, he could've enjoyed it back in UK like he usually did.
But still: are the laws against Holocaust denial necessary anymore? There were always Holocaust deniers and there will be, but now that 60 years has passed, can't we put them in the ridicule bin together with people who got anal-probed by aliens and the rest of the tinfoil hat brigade?
