We Do Not Need Another Holocaust Memorial.

 

Despite an Appeal Court Judgment, the slimy Tory crew are intent on building the Holocaust Memorial on, in and under the grass of the Victoria Tower Gardens, on the Embankment immediately South of the Palace of Westminster.

After the proposed Memorial was soundly rejected by Westminster Council, the Government’s ‘Elite’ the ‘Establishment’ proceeded to manufacture such a hullabaloo over the rejection of such a monstrosity being built in one of the few green spaces in Central London that a Public Enquiry was organised to judge if the Holocaust Memorial was worthy of the siting in such a well-loved place as the Gardens obviously are.

I contributed to the debate, amidst such well-known names as Sir Peter Bottomley, Rabbi Jonathan Romain, Chris Dawes, Sir Jeremy Blackham & Lord Howard of Rising.

My points are made in just one paragraph:-

“So, Members and Participants in this Inquiry; here’s my proposal, which is to discard the proposal to build this Memorial and Learning Centre, and instead spend at least part of that £50 million quid to fund the purchase of 90,000 hardback copies of ‘The Scourge of the Swastika’; along with the production and reproduction of 90,000 DVD copies of ‘Holocaust: Night will Fall’. These items will be distributed amongst all, repeat ALL British education establishments with an enrolled age of 15 years or older. No one would be allowed to demur from watching the DVD or reading the Book. The Book will form part of the Syllabus, along with timely showing of the DVD to those schools, colleges, Universities: so that Britain's youth can, should and will learn of the capacity, within a nation from whence sprang genius; of Man’s INHUMANITY to his fellow man within the policies of that feared FINAL SOLUTION.” 

The Inquiry ground on, and eventually, at some huge cost, delivered its considered opinion that the Memorial should be built on the grass of the Gardens. But an Appeal was made against this decision, and the Appeal Court decided against the Memorial being built within Victoria Tower Gardens, which would irreparably damage a well-loved open space.

But the Tory Government laid their plans quietly, and those plans saw fruition in the Speech which Charles 3rd gave at the ceremonial opening of Parliament. In direct defiance of an Appeal Court Ruling, they are pushing for the passage of a Bill which would see this expensive garbage despoil a well-loved Garden. The dreary clowns which populate the Tory benches will just nod it through; the Lords have always drooled over the lack of a ‘modern Memorial’: when we already have 3 memorials already in London. The first is in the Imperial War Museum, the second is the Memorial Statue to the ten thousand Kindertransport children, sited just outside Liverpool Street Station at pavement level; and the third sees The Holocaust memorialised in Hyde Park in a simple design, with engraved boulders in a gravel space, surrounded by white-stemmed birch trees .

We do not need to be ‘educated’ by some Establishment bunch who reckon that they know better than others what to push into the minds of the inquiring. When the very term “Educational” is but two steps removed from the ‘Re- education' in Orwell’s '1984'. When a simple online search for “Jewish Holocaust” produces 60 million Web page addresses in 0.51 seconds. I end with the words; “Seek, and you shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you!”
