Holocaust Denial? Why it’s unladylike!

In the wake of the the arrest of Holocaust denier Fredrich Toben, Queensland bogan ‘Michelle Mainwaring’, aka ‘Lady Michele Renouf’, has decided to adopt yet another worthless nazi to add to her list of embarrassing causes. ‘Lady’ Renouf’s previous claims to fame include bluffing her way into the aristocracy, and her shameful defence of convicted Nazi apologists David Irving and Ernst Zundel.

Your Excellency,

As you will be aware the British police and Crown Prosecution   Service have executed a Mannheim-originating warrant on an   Australian national, the historian Dr. Fredrick Töben, who was   arrested onboard an aeroplane at Heathrow while simply in transit   from the USA to Dubai.
Even as he had no intention of entering Britain, he was seized off   the aeroplane and brought into this country where his alleged  crimes  do not even constitute an offence.

For the first time, therefore, the European Arrest Warrant is  being used in a manner that we in Britain were assured would not  be  applied in Britain, which has declined to adopt a “Holocaust  denial”  law, because it is contrary to British traditions of  freedom of  enquiry and expression.

The situation is summed up in today’s Times ;

under the headline:
“Extradition bid raises fears of ‘thought crime’ offences”.

I trust that the High Commission will provide consular assistance  to Dr. Töben and will monitor this disturbing and unprecedented development so as to keep our fellow Australians informed of what   they can expect from the UK legal system when travelling or in   transit.

Yours truly

Michèle Renouf

Dumber than a bag of rocks.
