He had Primo Levi's prisoner number from Auschwitz tattooed... onto his arm.

There's a lovely interview where he explains what the book meant to him, too - that some Jews were as bad as the Nazis. Needless to say that's not quite what Mr Levi, according to his numerous interviews, was attempting to put across. But, hey, you know, simplification to the point of contradiction is a skill too.

# And he's still a twat.
I used to like him, but then his ego took over.

# He's beyond twat
IMHO, if I may acronym. So largely I ignore him - I was in Lunnon a while back and when I returned everyone said "OOOH WHY DIDN'T YOU GO AND SEE HIM???" and I replied that it had (genuinely) never occured to me.

So I will say no more on the subject.
