Ken Livingstone stands by Hitler comments
30 April 2016 UK Politics
Ken Livingstone has stood by his recent comments about Hitler, saying he was "not sorry for telling the truth".
He said he "regretted" the disruption his comments had caused but "I believe what I said is true".

During an interview on LBC, Mr Livingstone repeatedly refused to apologise for making the comments, saying he was sorry if his views had upset Jewish people but he had simply made a "statement of fact" that had also been made by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"I never regret saying something that is true," he said.
