Red Ken defiant over Nazi jibe London Mayor Ken Livingstone has refused to apologise to a Jewish reporter or his newspaper over "Nazi" comments - and instead launched a fresh attack. Mr Livingstone likened reporter Oliver Finegold of the London Evening Standard to a Nazi "concentration camp guard" as he was pushed for a comment by the journalist following a party two weeks ago. He had been expected to issue a retraction today following increasing pressure from Jewish groups, Holocaust survivors and the Prime Minister. Instead, he not only defiantly stood by his comments but launched a fresh attack on the reporter, the newspaper and its sister paper the Daily Mail. He said: "My words were not intended to cause such offence." But he said he would not take a lesson about anti-Semitism from the Daily Mail.
he shouldn't apologise, even if it was a slightly drunken, a bit offensive, very stupid thing to say. It's just the right-wingers scenting blood but they won't get it. Only problem is it gives them a get out of jail free card for years
I liked his little rant at the Daily Mail/Evening Standard "the victims may change but the intolerance, hatred and fear pervade every issue of the papers"
yeah but surely he didnt attack those people? he just said one thing to one person, and is somehow accused of anti-semitism. lol go ken, go ken
