That's what happens when you work with left wingers

I hope not. It would double his poll ratings.

I think it remains socially acceptable to abuse red heads, and murdering them is generally commuted to community service.
With Labour and the Tories (Greens, SNP and Libs too) lusting after his head on a plate it is more than possible after Coutts &Co. closing his account there is no end to the oprobrium that he is held.

That has to be the most extraordinary post on here for some time, including from you. Not even an ironic emoji.

The establishment always wheel out the Hitler thing every time a proper right wing politician ever gets anywhere near power.
It is an absurd narrative used simply to scare and gaslight people into line.
As you suggest, the current government mirrors 1930s Germany more than any I've experienced. Their misuse of power is astounding, and their neglect of protecting the British people is shameful.
what rubbish - the 'Hitler thing' is merely quoting what was said. Why do far right people need to make positive comments re Hitler and the Nazis is the question, not the people who bring it up later and try to hold them accountable.
As for the current govt, not sure what it has to do with them. It is an article in the Guardian, i believe, nothing to do with the Govt.
If the govt jump on it that is surely fair game - after all Farage was happy to comment on Raynor's flat stamp duty issue whilst doing the same himself.

Why do far left people need to make positive comments re Stalin and the Communists is more of a question.

Hitler isn't a positive.
Nationalism is a positive, when kept to limits.
Reason is the core to everything in life.

Whilst i would say i'm left leaning I hate any connection to Stalin who was an absolute monster he gave the "left" a bad name, communism scares people away from socialism there are vast differences between the two.

Of course when the old order tell the youth that they can't say something or make jokes about a topic then that's exactly what you are going to get.
The zoomer generation don't feel connected to WW2. Why should they? It's a completely different world today and the people who fought it aren't around (though it was mostly the boomers who came after them who went over the top about it)
The Hitler thing is always related to Jews and that's where the modern conversation goes when this guy comes up.....but Hitler killed far far more Christians than Jews.....He just preferred killing the latter.
But the focus by the left on Hitler means that the scope becomes limited....Stalin killed far more than Hitler for example and we supported Stalin.
It was our side that dropped two nukes on mainly civilians in Japan, there was Dresden, the rape of Berlin by the Soviets, when you look into it the story we were raised with it is obviously rose tinted.
Like the Ukraine-Russia war, horrible things go on and while you can pick one side over the other the truth is that it's horrible any way you cut it.

That has to be classed as an oxymoron.
Herein lies the problem. Politics has nothing to do with truth or reason. It is simply vote whoring.
What level a politician, or indeed a newspaper, stoops to in this quest for popularity indicates how desperate they are.
This decades old non story is about as desperate as it gets.
I expect this a bit of light relief for you since Labour are so utterly inept and plunging to a new low in the polls.

Don't fret, beak. There's not much chance of anyone referring to Starmer as a Man of Steel.
