My boss is of Jewish origin, his parents emigrating from Germany and Poland. He lost relatives in Auschwitz. He is a phenomenally loyal NHS Doctor. Earlier in the year he said that the language being used by media and politicians is eerily resembling 1920–30s Germany and the rise of the Nazi party. I wasn’t paying too much attention, but I valued his statement as he is a remarkable observationalist .

He was right, this style of rhetoric and the undercurrent behind the statements echoes Das Reich and Das Shwarze Korps. I’ve never employed Godwin’s law before — but we are veering on the abyss which leads to National Socialism.
