Why do some bad things (eg the holocausts) need to be remembered but other bad things (eg Jimmy

Saville) need to be forgotten? Should we remember or forget bad things? It can hardly be both.

Regarding her death, historian Ian Kershaw contends that stories circulated at the time as to alleged "sexual deviant practices ought to be viewed as ... anti-Hitler propaganda".

Because all the other press he gets is so favourable (I realise he probably meant at the time as Hitler was rising to power but that is now how I read it at first glance)

I think you need to come right out and condemn the fella, b.

Hitler was bang out of order if you ask me.

[Berni]

wanted to dominate the European continent and subjugate its peoples now and again?

[Pat Vegas]

Hitler nearly did but opted out of being caught.

Theroux's distinctly english, awkward interviewing style wouldve really helped get behind the facade of dead nazi **** and shed a light on the lesser known aspects of his personality.

I used 'rolling' as a technical term to add weight to my piece.

There's no vinegar left for my fish & chips tonight because my Prussian womenfolk used it all up concocting some mysterious hair potion recipe they discovered on the internets.

Now, nobody could call the redgunamo an irascible man but in a properly ordered world, such cultural insensitivity would see them all taken out and shot.

Good job too.

If you have any pickled onions or cornichons or whatever, could you use the vinegar they come in?

Ireland, proving island nations dont have to behave like dickheads since 1921.

Take note Japan and Britain.

After they've been shot.

A European said that and it must've been about the last time one of them was right about anything.

every social issue you care to name, the readiness to hand over complete arms of the state to the tender mercies of the Catholic church, institutionalised corruption and child abuse... I could go on and on and on but we'd be here all day.

I could hand over to my father, who could not f**king stand the ****ty, small-minded, stifling parochialism of the place and could not wait to get out. London to him was a glorious liberation from this backwards, superstitious, priest-ridden 'paradise' and he never looked back. He would set you straight on a few matters.

Normally, I can laugh indulgently at your green-tinted spectacles and hilariously positive view of Ireland and the Irish, but I can't let this one go. You have a classic second- and third-generation, plastic paddy view of Ireland that is wildly, spectacularly wrong.

Nobody came running to support the Japanesers though, you racists

I remember asking a waiter in France for vinegar. He pointed out that the salad was already dressed and needed no vinegar. When I pointed out that I wanted it for my frites, he looked at me as though I'd said that I wanted to make mad, passionate love to his poor, grey-haired old maman.

No idea, these people.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Full of absolute c**ts and run by similar, but equally (as anywhere in the world) has wonderful people. All of the criticisms you lay at our feet are valid.

I couldn’t wait to get out of the place when I was 18 and never really wanted to leave London, my view of the place not being a millions miles removed from those of your father, but now in my circumstances I probably would not want to be there.
