As I made clear on an earlier thread, Nazism is too serious a subject to be used for cheap political point scoring over one’s opponents by wilfully misrepresenting of their words. This subject demands cool language and responsible analysis. However, to describe, as David Cameron has, the death of six million people under the Final Solution as ‘a gimmick’ is an unpardonable slur upon Hitler’s victims and their families. In 2001 William Hague wanted asylum seekers rounded up and imprisoned in concentration camps. By trivializing the Holocaust in this way Cameron has demonstrated that he is an equally committed fascist as his predecessor. It is clear that today’s Tory Party is a million miles away from the moderate party of Edward Heath.
