To draw a comparison between the rhetoric of Hopkins and that of the Nazis yes, not to draw a comparison between their policy and today's policy. It is relevant whether the Nazis policy is that which is established today because what Brand says is:

"[Katie Hopkins] is merely the voice of, in many cases, established policy. One of the things Katie Hopkins said is 'these people are like cockroaches', when people are like cockroaches what valued does their life have? None, they're just gonna breed all over the place, they breed like hell, this is actually a common view of displaced people or unpopular sections of society. A notable psychological and ideological compatriot of Katie Hopkins is Himmler"

So Brand makes a wild claim - that Katie Hopkins is the voice of established policy - and then completely fails to explain that and makes the immediate association with the Nazis instead. Sorry Russell mate but you've gotta do better than that if you actually want to present yourself as a serious authority on politics. You can't just throw around wild claims and big words in an attempt to make yourself look smart and convincing.

What do you mean about last October?
