I agree with some of the stuff he said, but...

You don't put Kelvin MacKenzie on televsion with a Scouser. There is not a single person on Merseyside he hasn't p*ssed off. That includes anyone born after 1989. It doesn't mean jack sh*t. It's like putting a Jew on telly with Hitler. You don't do it.

Insane.

Perhaps not quite like. Kelvin hasn't actually ordered any mass genocides of Liverpudlians. I don't mean to belittle the hurt felt in Liverpool over the stories in the Sun at that time, but it really doesn't compare to the Holocaust.

James didn't say anything about the Holocaust, he's merely pointing out that it should be obvious that the two don't mix.

It's not forgotten what MacKenzie said at the Mincoffs Lunch, check out this link reported in The Independent at the time:

He really is a man not worth talking about, and certainly his opinions are not to be taken seriously. I doubt he'd ever have the balls to come to Anfield and repeat his opinions there, especially as he doesn't appear to understand what it is to be sincere in what he says. Of the 1,000s of apologies he says he's made over the matter, he was just going through the motions.

I have precious little respect for the You're Fired producers too, did they really have to bring this man onto the same programme as Christopher, i'm left wondering is it was deliberate or not?

You can make it out when he waves the the audience as he walks on set.

Guessing it's a HJC wristband - asuming it was was c**tface Kelvin's benefit.

Nice one Christopher.”

It was a Help For Heroes wristband mate, one former soldier supporting his mates.

To say it's like putting a Jew on with Hitler obviously invokes the Holocaust. And it isn't like it.

Totally. I've never even been to Liverpool but you don't have to to realise how disliked Kelvin MacKenzie and The Sun are in those quarters, even 21 years on. I'd love to see MacKenzie go to Liverpool and see what happens. He'd be tore to pieces.
