Ken Livingston, the Mayor of London and unapologetic Communist had this pleasant exchange with a reporter:
LONDON (Reuters) - London's outspoken Mayor Ken Livingstone has refused to apologise for calling a Jewish newspaper reporter a war criminal and concentration camp guard, despite complaints from Britain's main Jewish group.
"Are you a German war criminal?" Livingstone was heard saying on a tape recording of the exchange with the Evening Standard journalist at a event to mark the 20th anniversary of former cabinet member Chris Smith announcing he is gay.
When the journalist said he was Jewish and was offended by the mayor's remarks, Livingstone replied: "Actually you are just like a concentration camp guard."
Nice work, Ken. Of course to al-Reuters, he's not an anti-semite, he's "outspoken". More:
"The discussion between the journalist and the mayor escalated, from relatively light hearted comments of the mayor asking whether the journalist's previous job had been as a war criminal -- given the paper he was working for -- to the journalist eventually telling the mayor to 'f**k off'," it said.
The Evening Standard is part of Associated Newspapers, a group whose owner in the 1930s, Lord Rothermere, showed some support for Adolf Hitler.
A frequent, outspoken critic of Israeli policy, Livingstone has denied in the past that he is anti-Semitic.
Red Ken has been quite "outspoken" in his support for jihadi's and Jew haters.
