Charles Clarke
The Home Secretary makes a speech which I imagine will be broadly supported by the Decent Left, and widely shouted down by everyone else. I like attacks on the Media, so I say good on him.However this but puzzled me. He said:
whilst words like 'holocaust', 'gulag' and 'apartheid' are regularly used descriptively of our society in ways which must be truly offensive to those who experienced those realities.
What is he referring to? Gulag I assume he means Amnesty about Guantanamo. Apartheid is often used. But 'holocaust'? I'm sure he's right, but I can't think in what context. It's hard to search for as obviously you get references to the Holocaust, not a 'holocaust'. Trying [Holocaust Labour -nazi -jew] etc doesn't help much either. Probably some animal rights extremists, though I don't remember than in Britain.
