Who’s Been Cancelled??

[Milltown Row2]

Has anyone ever clarified how Britain 2023 is like Nazism 1930s? What exactly is it that's being compared? Willing to be educated on this with an open mind.

Well, Lieneker being cancelled by the state controlled media for disagreeing with the government is abit on the Nazi side.

People publicly disagree with the government every day. Nobody cares. That's not really what the issue is though is it. Its the fact he compared Britain now to the Nazis. It was a very silly historically ignorant thing to come out with and anyone who thinks it's accurate needs a serious boot in the hole. Hope he gets rehired though. I enjoy his punditry.

He didn't compare Britain to the Nazi's. He said the language being used was like that of Germany in the 30s. Big difference to what you are implying

The big difference being they use language like the Nazis, but not actions?

Did he say actions?

[RedHand88]

The language they are using, the actions they are taking and depths they are going to hang onto power are comparable to an extent. Doesn't mean they are like them but the direction of travel is very concerning. https://twitter.com/terrychristian/status/1634210508151685121?t=aiwSWetzv51EqZ4ImyKU3g&s=19

Lol fs so now mandatory voter ID is considered Nazi!  Ah here, I'm away to bed.

It isn't, but making it easier for demographics who are more prone to be Tory voters to get photo ID would be. For example a senior citizen bus pass is valid but a student one is not valid.

Anyone of any age is entitled to a free electoral photo card though it has to be said.

And now you have got it. He is comparing the language being used. He did not compare them to Nazis.

It was a ludicrous comparison and makes light of what 1930s Germany was like. So because a country enforces its own borders its now synonymous with one of the most evil regimes in history. Ok.

Still think they've made an error by dropping him though.

When did Lineker make light of 1930s Germany?

He didn't say a country should not enforce its own borders and the tweet that has got a very vocal minority in a fluster didn't even criticise the proposed Uk border policy.

But those are just facts.

[smelmoth]

Lineker was acting a snowflake in the first place. A country stating that those caught illegally entering will never get citizenship is fair enough. Hardly from the Hitler handbook.

If you think Lineker said that illegal immigrants should get citizenship or that he likened the policy to Hitler's then you need to pay more attention or take more care on where you get your news.

Tell me about the legal way to claim asylum in the UK then.

Why try to claim asylum in the UK if you are already in a 'safe' country?

Family connections, language etc.

Nobody is actually claiming that every single person coming out the Middle East and seeking asylum should all do in Greece are they? That would be a complete mess and let a lot of countries off the hook. Everybody needs to do their share

[smelmoth]

It was a stupid comparison but he shouldn't be cancelled for it. A complete over reaction.

was the comparison accurate though? Was the language being used not similar? Braverman used the term swarm and referred to those in the boats as rich and wealthy. The daily mail had pictures of rats running from the boats.

We already have rent a mob far right thugs turning up in towns to organise protests. Dangerous times. Every far right nutter in Europe is backing the policy and the was its being put out. Do we sleep walk through this are call it out early?

[Milltown Row2]

Germany had triple the asylum requests to the uk, triple

Who has compared it to Nazism. Well not yet.

[smelmoth]

Are some crackpots really comparing the UK now to Nazi Germany?

Not that I'm aware of

He compared the language. He didn't say the language was identical. But I think he has been proven to be accurate

In essence that is what he said. And the massive reaction is to him saying that once, in a single tweet. Hard to believe I know but really is what the fuss in the right wing press is all about

A lot of people seem to get a pain in the hole when someone compares someone else to the nazis or calls them nazis or fascists not least nazis or fascists themselves. Why is that? Nazis and fascists are still around and need to be called out on who they are and what they are doing.

You also said anyone who disagrees with your take on things should be subject to violence. That is a bit like Hitlers boys in the 1930s.
