Correct, however , the language used to dehumanise certain groups under the nazi regime has been used extensively throughout other similar fascist regimes, and such use of language is present today, this use of fascist rhetoric is disturbing. But once again thank you for your derailment into something only tangentially relevant.

I think you are missing the plot on this one. Gary Lineker didn’t create this comparison between Bravermen’s language and the language of 1930s Germany. Lineker is merely signal boosting the words of holocaust survivor Joan Salter. My guess is you aren’t a holocaust survivor, so maybe stop speaking for them, particularly when they are clearly able to speak for themselves.

Also the centrist, and no doubt centre right view too. These particular Tories are not popular at all, and will very likely lose the next GE. Just wondering what more damage they can do in the meantime. Even Tory friends are struggling to defend them. I honestly can’t understand why anyone with any common sense or compassion would still be supporting them. However, we do have a lot of selfish, stupid and racist people in the UK.

I don’t know how to explain this without being rude about it, but Alan Sugar and Andrew Neil getting away with tweeting Conservative Party talking points while David Attenborough and Gary Lineker being punished for deviating from the script while the BBC chairman is under investigation for bribing his appointer with an 800,000 pound loan makes a mockery of the impartiality the BBC is mandated to uphold by charter.
