Oliver Donoghue of the Holocaust Educational Trust tells Michael FitzGerald, for Global Solidarity why they condem Tommy Tiernan’s anti-semitism at the Electric Picnic.
He proceeds to question Hot Press editor’s Niall Stokes seeming justificationof the offending statements on the grounds of “context” and puts that it contrast with the magazine’s long-standing and widely respected support for human rights and anti-racism.
