Subject: RE: BS: Theresa May's new year message
"I hope you're not suggesting that the Jews had mental disabilities!"
Where on earth did that come from - of course I am not and anybody who has read any off my posts on the subject would never suggest such a thing
The Nazis forced anybody they deemed unfit to live in their society to wear identification insignia.
I don't include people with mental disabilities unfit to live anywhere - do you?
I have to say, I didn't realise that the Black triangle was confined to those with mental disabilities - you live and learn.
The point I was making about the group Keith rejected because it is LEFT WING, isn't - it is basically anti racist, but I have little doubt that it opposes other types of prejudice and persecution, this sort of organisation tends to.
Stu sums my feeling up perfectly about Ukip
They have let the mask slip occasionally, but they have avoided the pitfalls that B.N.P. fell into by being openly racist in order to gain a degree of respectability, but they are two sides of the one coin - the mask-slips have only confirmed what is obvious.
They are a party based on Xenophobia, with no policy on any other aspect of British life
As far as Brexit is concerned, they played to the basic fears and uncertainties of people and it payed off for them.
I fear that the populism they adopted will become a common feature of future elections - it happened in the U.S. and in Italy and there is a possibility that it could start to happen in Europe and destroy anything that the E.U. produced.
