Bishop Williamson, who returned to Britain this week after being expelled from Argentina, said: “I can truthfully say that I regret having made such remarks, and that if I had known beforehand the full harm and hurt to which they would give rise, especially to the church, but also to survivors and relatives of victims of injustice under the Third Reich, I would not have made them.”

I think there's something to be said here in the vein of european crypto-fascism. See- he's sorry he's said this publicly, not for the thoughts and opinions that he has. Like the crypto-fascists, he's learned that in his society it the speech not the ideology that's the issue and he must hide, all while ignoring the root source which is his very thinking. At least- that's what the fascists think is the issue. Hate speech laws help give rise to this. They try to gag the bigoted speech but it only helps bigots conceal their ugly nature. Because I could really give two shits about what this man says- it's what he thinks that's really offensive.
