That's appalling. Channel 4 seem to be going out of their way to antagonise people at
the moment (thinking of their horrendously biased Shell-sponsored coverage of climate change).

Subject: No Platform for Nazi David Irving - ring Channel 4 now and complain
Channel 4's offshoot channel More4 is planning to celebrate the 60th
anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by giving a
platform to the Nazi sympathiser and convicted Holocaust denier David
Irving.
Irving has spent his entire miserable career peddling apologetics for Hitler
in far right and fascist circles. To present him as a hero of "free speech"
is a grotesque travesty -- his entire life has been dedicated to those who
would crush all human freedoms.
More4 plans to show its 90 minute documentary, An Independent Mind, on
Tuesday night. But we can stop them if enough people register their anger
and disgust. Please call 0845 076 0191 to complain to Channel 4 and demand
that they stop handing over airtime to Nazis and Holocaust deniers.
