The Sun Also Rises

So the two outgoing MEPs from the collapsing BNP are off to a conference hosted by Issuikai, deniers at least of the extent of the Nanking Massacre? So what? Like the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the support for Imperial Japan by Marxist intellectuals and by Subhas Chandra Bose is more than called to mind by the cheering on of George Bush and Tony Blair by the likes of Christopher Hitchens.

And by the warm relationship between the Euston Manifesto Group and the Henry Jackson Society. The former has never recanted its denial of the gulags and other such offences, while the latter has never expressed the slightest contrition for having been the faithful bag men of Latin American regimes that harboured ageing Nazis and of an apartheid South Africa which erected a monument to Hitler, wildly cheering the after-dinner speeches of many a Holocaust denier back in the day.

David Miliband, that means you.

Michael Gove, that means you.

  1. There is no mistaking whose faithful bag man you are. Then again, you have always had plenty of your own. More with each new intake of freshers.
