In a room draped with the Union Flag, as the event called the Lon­don Forum unfold­ed, the audi­ence:

Snig­gered at the men­tion of ‘ash­es ris­ing from the death camps’ cre­ma­to­ria’;

Applaud­ed as they were urged to ‘iden­ti­fy, counter and break … Jew­ish-Zion­ist dom­i­na­tion’;

Laughed at the Char­lie Heb­do mas­sacre, and as an African leader at the Paris memo­r­i­al cer­e­mo­ny was described as ‘some Negro’;

Cheered at the men­tion of a brigade of Span­ish Fas­cists who fought for the Nazis;

Heard gay par­ents brand­ed ‘mon­ster fam­i­lies’ and mixed race chil­dren described as ‘black­os’.

Last night, there were calls from Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ty lead­ers for police to inves­ti­gate the group for race hate crimes.

‘The mate­r­i­al from this white suprema­cist group makes ugly read­ing,’ said bar­ris­ter Jonathan Arkush, vice-pres­i­dent of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
‘On the face of it, their pro­ceed­ings should be inves­ti­gat­ed to ascer­tain whether crim­i­nal offences have been com­mit­ted, includ­ing incite­ment to racial hatred.’ . . . .

. . . . The star speak­er at the event was Span­ish self-con­fessed Nazi Pedro Varela, 57, whose ado­ra­tion for Adolf Hitler and the mur­der­ous Third Reich is unbri­dled.

He was arrest­ed in Aus­tria for prais­ing Hitler in 1992 and he declared to a bay­ing crowd in Madrid on the cen­te­nary of the Fuhrer’s birth­day: ‘There were nev­er any gas cham­bers in Auschwitz.’

Also present was America’s lead­ing ped­dler of Holo­caust denial and ‘revi­sion­ist’ the­o­ries, Mark Weber, 63, direc­tor of the Insti­tute for His­tor­i­cal Review, based in New­port Beach, Cal­i­for­nia. He wrote in 1989: ‘The Holo­caust is a reli­gion. Its under­pin­nings in the realm of his­tor­i­cal fact are non-exis­tent – no Hitler order, no plan, no bud­get, no gas cham­bers, no autop­sies of gassed vic­tims, no bones, no ash­es, no skulls, no noth­ing.’

Our team of reporters and pho­tog­ra­phers watched as the par­tic­i­pants – includ­ing a hand­ful of women – gath­ered under Vic­to­ria Sta­tion clock, await­ing orders. Ger­ry Gable, edi­tor and pub­lish­er of anti-Fas­cist Search­light mag­a­zine and lead­ing expert on the extreme Right, who worked with the MoS on our inves­ti­ga­tion, said last night: ‘This is the biggest and most sig­nif­i­cant meet­ing of Holo­caust deniers that Britain has ever seen. It is a very wor­ry­ing devel­op­ment.’ . . .

. . . . Among them:

. . . . Aus­tralian-born for­mer mod­el Lady Michele Renouf, 69, who has defend­ed promi­nent Holo­caust deniers such as David Irv­ing and has said: ‘Peo­ple should have the free­dom to ques­tion the accept­ed view of what hap­pened’. . . .
