“Comparisons to the 1930s are deeply inappropriate and tasteless” says Tory MP Simon Clarke.

No, Simon.

Comparisons to 1930s Germany are completely appropriate and needed when govt behaviour demands it. And your ugly rhetoric and illegal Bill demand it. Tasteless to claim otherwise.

Interesting take on #SimonClarkeMP

".... one who intuitively understands the value of fostering cynicism. He may be an also-ran in the Tory Party, but he serves its purposes well. His comments here may seem stupid but look more closely and we see the reality behind them. That reality is not stupidity. It exists to promote bigotry, to undermine respect for our democratic institutions and processes. It is not stupidity, but menace."
