Ummm Hitler was a facist who wanted to control and censure political thought. He was an enemy of democracy. Those who died in WW2 died fighting against totalitarianism and political oppression.
The irony that you now want to shut up political protesters who are against the war with the memories of those who passed away in WW2 is frighting. As is the idea that you and the rest of you would like to censor and even deport people with political views that don't follow the government line... sound familiar? It would if you knew your German history.
Because the UK isn't a fascist dictatorship people are allowed protest against a whole bunch of things.... funnily enough that includes wars... lol. This was what people in WW2 fought for.
Other parties in ( German) history have had the idea you guys have of expelling those with political beliefs that don't sit well with the current government.
The irony of this thread was only "funny" at first. Then it became monumental when the above poster used the memory of those who were persecuted in WW2. Please join the ******ing dots people.
