Holocaust denier bishop back in UK

A British Roman Catholic bishop who was asked to leave Argentina after making "deeply offensive" comments about the Holocaust arrived back in Britain today.

Bishop Richard Williamson, 68, flew from Buenos Aires into Heathrow, where he was met by the media and an armed police guard. Bishop Williamson, who was given 10 days to leave Argentina, declined to answer questions as police officers took him to a waiting car.

Those meeting him, including other Roman Catholic priests, also declined to comment before the car sped away.

Lord Janner, president of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said: "It would be much better if he was not here, but as a British citizen it cannot be prevented."
