Here's one thing I've learned as a Jew and the son of a WWII refugee: you don't just watch out for the nazis - you watch who goes to bat for the nazis.
JK Rowling goes to bat for the nazis.

The BBC, which mainstreamed Nigel Farage and the far right, is going to scold Gary Lineker for the following comments on the UK's immigration policy:
"There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s"
Free speech, but only if it's speech that doesn't offend the far right

Growing up, I had three sisters. One of them was a quiet child, often angry or sullen and sometimes cruel.
One day that person went away.
And then I had a brother.
He was cheerful and warm, finally comfortable in a body he'd wanted his entire life.
Conservatives want to eradicate my brother. I'm here to say that's not going to happen.
"Machines built to eat people don't stop until they run out of people" will live in my head rent-free from now on.
