BBC: Holocaust denier Irving is jailed
British historian David Irving has been found guilty in Vienna of denying the Holocaust of European Jewry and sentenced to three years in prison.
No he hasn't. It never happened.
Dis Irving

Ah! I get it! You're saying that Irving being jailed didn't happen (not the holocaust). Or are you saying that Irving never existed? Are you in fact a 'Holocaust denier denier'?
I'm joshing that Irving being jailed didn't happen.
What an unpleasant chap. But I don't think he should have been sent to prison; the way to deal with holocaust deniers (and evolution deniers) is to point out the stupidity of their supposed reasoning, not make martyrs of them to equally silly people.
Incidentally, I see Irving now says he was wrong, so I guess that makes him an ex-holocaust denier. The more of those, the better.
And you didn't write this, so I'm not going to reply!
Ah...!
Agreed. Jailing gives him the publicity he seems to crave. I rather think he has courted the media with his stupid ideas, calling the Austrians bluff, and been caught out. I dare say he will be released on appeal, but the message has been sent to the, er... oh, there aren't any others.
Continuing the theme:-
If the Holocaust never happened & there were no concentration camps....that must be great news for Ken Livingstone, who, therefore didn't accuse a Jewish journalist of acting like a nazi concentration camp guard...!
