Here’s the quote from the Herald article that kicked it all off:

In an interview with Hot Press at Electric Picnic he had waxed lyrical on what he would have done in the Holocaust.

“These Jews, these f *cking c***s come up to me, Christkilling bastards. F*cking six million? I would have got 10 or 12 million out of that, no problem. F*ck them. Two at a time, they would have gone. Hold hands, get in there. Leave us your teeth and your glasses,” he said.

Here’s the apology from that same article:

As a private individual I am greatly upset by the thought that these comments have caused hurt to others as it was never my intention.

One of the duties of a comic performer is to be reckless and irresponsible.
