      Seems odd to have one, we weren’t the perpetrators, and there’s less than 300k Jewish people living in the UK. Yes it should be remembered, but so should all the others, and we can’t have large memorials for all of them.

      Absolute shitshow of comments here really demonstrating why we need a specific holocaust memorial. Tonnes of whataboutery and even a couple of outright denials.

      Edit: right on cue…

      ‘It is likely to be the most visited museum anywhere in the world’. Really? Seems somewhat ambitious.

      Why on earth is Eric Pickles allowed near anything these days, his record was one of stand out failure amongst a group of notoriously incompetents.

      I agree that the holocaust memorial should not be shared with other genocides . The gravity of the holocaust was huge and we dont argue that a memorial to this bombing should include a memorial to all bombings  for example. 

      We should have a memorial to  other genocides too

      Quite staggering dereliction of journalist duty by the Jewish News there, not stating theat Pickles is chair of the Conservative Friends of Israel in the House of Lords

      It was Jews from all over Europe that were exterminated not specifically Israel, also many other groups of people. The memorial is for all of them, not just Jews

      I’d never thought I’d see the day that a holocaust memorial would be controversial

      The industrialised killing of Jews, Roma, Poles and many others should be remembered in every country in Europe

      billions of uk taxpayers given to DUP to buy support, holocaust memorial was another bribe from previous government to buy certain votes

      uk is not the villian, brits do not need reminding, uk taxpayers should not pay pay for holocaust memorial and nor should it sited in a prominent location

      this is like boris the pathological liar vanity bridge and the project should be stopped now

      Seems reasonable to me and I really hate the guy. I’m kind of surprised he’s still alive.

      Piss of Eric. Honestly that guy is the epitome of everything wrong with the UKs politicians.
