So a small part of the establishment was pro Nazi and huge numbers of ordinary folk were pro Soviet. It's easy to be pro something from a safe distance. The reality is a little different.

It seems to be a matter of record some Daily Mail staff turned up to work wearing black shirts (source The Times of Israel which I have no reason to doubt). You cannot by any stretch argue that the behaviour of a newspaper owner decades ago has any bearing on the current newspaper. Originally posted by steeleye20
'No-one here will shed any tears over the disappearance of German democracy'. 'Herr Hitler has saved his country' - night of the long knives. Daily Mail, their staff even wore their blackshirts to work.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

Meanwhile the Guardian was heaping priase on Stalin and defending the show trials.

Daily Mail, their staff even wore their blackshirts to work. Lord Rothermere a famous proponent of national self determination was the owner so not really a big surprise. Working on an EU project some years ago, I was working with Hungarians, and they have a national holiday named after 'Lord Rothermere's Action'. Like a national day for them. He said that Hungary should be allowed to be a nation, free from Austria. I had never known about it until then, but just thought I'd put it here.

and the origins of the Guardian go back to a man who was anti Lincoln, pro slavery and non critical of Peterloo Originally posted by georgenorman

Quite a vivid question put by a presenter on BBC this weekend. Are radical Muslims the new Nazi's ? (Obviously, not ALL Muslims, just the few radical ones) I watched the disturbing pictures this morning of around 200 Iraqi soldiers who were captured by ISIS whilst in their barracks. They were then all butchered. The depravity of mankind seems to be bottoming-out with the atrocities committed in the name of religion, and in particular, Islam. As Britain, (formerly, Great Britain), tiptoes around human rights, and swerves racism, and allows Muslims to wear full face-masks, not just in public, but in airport departure points, (something that wouldn't have been tolerated during the decades of IRA activity) Am I scare-mongering, or are these radicals a significant problem ? 9/11, 7/7, 'The Muslim Patrols' in London, and now the mobilisation of militia who are causing atrocities in the name of Islam in the power vacuum created by western military withdrawl. Would I have a happier life if I stopped reading/watching The News, or would I be complicit in ignoring issues outside my own tiny sphere of influence ?
Yes, you are scaremongering

A woman wearing a Charlie Hebdo T shirt was stabbed at Speakers Corner yesterday. The assailant got away so the motive isn't known.

I was reading a bit about a guy who interviewed Des Nilsen many years ago. Apparently Nilsen said that Hitler would have ultimately destroyed the world if he had won WW2, as he would never be satisfied with victory. It made me think about the motivation for very recent attacks in southern Africa by Islam extremists. to also quote Nilsen, "Did God make man ? or did man make God ?"
