Showing his true colours here - this is one he must never get over - what on earth was he thinking of? Walked straight onto the punch. Probably another nightmare of a policy dreamed up by the racist attack dogs at Policy Exchange
David Cameron under fire over Auschwitz gaffe
By Andrew Porter, Political Editor23/02/2008
The Conservative leader David Cameron was criticised by Jewish groups and MPs after he said funding to send schoolchildren to Auschwitz was "a gimmick".
The Government said his remarks were "sick and ignorant" while Lord Janner, chairman of the Holocaust Educational Trust, described them as "a low form of politics".

The uproar began when a Conservative press release criticised 26 Government initiatives as "short-term gimmicks".
The list included a £4·6 million scheme announced by ministers this month to send sixth formers from every school in England to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp. The scheme ties in with Holocaust Memorial Day.
The Tories said schools would have to pay £100 to fund every pupil's trip. Mr Cameron said: "We've never known a government that is so obsessed with short-term gimmicks. We've had a gimmick for every week that Gordon Brown has been Prime Minister."
But Karen Pollock, the chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said the Government funding would allow them to take 15,000 students on the trips over the next three years.
"We do not want to be involved in party politics," she said.
"Since we have received Government funding, we have been able to offer two students from every secondary and sixth form college in the country, the opportunity to visit the former Nazi camps in Poland. Participants describe the experience as life-changing."........

Why not send the little nippers to Gaza in stead? That way they could get a view of living totalitarian atrocities. No need to send them to Silesia to see a fabricated relic when the real thing is available to be immediately experienced.
Another suggestion. Have a contest offering a reward for the best paper produced by a high school student refuting the works of Germar Rudolf. That should blow the whole Holocaust(TM) right out of the water. _________________ "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." ~ Thomas Jefferson
