Now we have the BBC coming down so heavily on such a mild tweet it's just changed the light so everyone can clearly see the governments puppet strings.
Can somebody post the tweet that started it? I feel like I probably saw it and just skipped past it when it happened.

I'm just reading this book A village in the Third Reich. It's non-fiction and based on life in a small south German village in the years leading up to ww2. Apparently they have a large amount of papers, documents, personal accounts available. Village is Oberstdorf.
I'm about 1/3rd through.
Shows how the propaganda machine began to work on the villagers.

On a slightly pedantic note. People keep claiming he was referencing the holocaust. The holocaust happened in the 1940s.

The 1930s was the build up of hatred and scapegoating of vulnerable minorities to take blame and distract from the economical problems that the government (which wasn't majority Nazi to begin with) was inept to fix. And this lead to what historians recorded as "a very bad time"

So yes I think the comparison is very apt.

Was actually surprised that they’d suspended him rather than just quietly let it pass, seemed at the time a poor decision and looks plain stupid right now.
The way the right normally deals with this is for the press to criticise him and print a few attack lines, and then get baying knobheads to harrass him out of public life or at the very least off twitter.

Where they hosed up was by not respecting the chain of command and letting the papers get him killed.

Attenborough's episode pointing out the impact of people on the environment getting 'cancelled' to iPlayer
Fiona Bruce saying the former PMs father only broke his wife's nose & hospitalised her once means it wasn't really domestic violence.

I'm sure there's more.

And all the starmeroids can do is wheel out thornberry and cooper to defend BBC and not take a strong stand (presumably because they want to reserve the right to do the same as the Tories if they get in to power).

TBF the lack of outrage over the QT wife-beating comments might be due to the fact all non-tory viewers have long stopped watching or died of massive blood-pressure driven heart attacks.

Not to interrupt the very entertaining football commentary (never written that before) but was it ever explained what the “denied access to the slavery system” meant? If I capture someone who’s come here on a small boat, can I keep him? I can’t see any other way to interpret it!

Basically, if you come forward and say 'hey I've been trafficked and am now a domestic slave / in a work gang / working for a drugs gang ' they will treat you as a criminal rather than a victim.
