        It’s not illegal in most of Europe. If you say it in most of Europe in polite company you’ll get punched most likely, but you won’t get arrested.

        It’s literally only Germany which have made it illegal for the fairly obvious reasons

            Wow David Irving is a twat. Here’s a poem he wrote for his infant daughter

            I am a Baby Aryan
            Not Jewish or Sectarian
            I have no plans to marry an
            Ape or Rastafarian.

        Denying is maybe illegal but questioning it is not.

        So get your facts straight.
