Coren's comments led to a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission, an early day motion in the UK parliament, and a critical editorial in "The Economist." Coren responded: "I wrote in passing that the Poles remain in denial about their responsibility for the Holocaust. How gratifying, then, to see so many letters in "The Times" in the subsequent days from Poles denying their responsibility for the Holocaust." He also told "The Jewish Chronicle": "Fuck the Poles". After the Press Complaints Commission rejected their complaint because the criticism had been of a group rather than an individual, the Federation of Poles in Great Britain lodged a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights.
