Tell me you haven’t read the history and horrors of WWII without telling me you haven’t read the history and horrors of WWII.
He clearly hates women too, going to apologise for that or is that party policy?
He is truly deeply sorry that these comments have been found.
Reform party supported him! Sunak and reform party have been both been found out for what they are. Grifters.
There’s a Nazi inside every one of them, sometimes it just slips out
He’s wrong, and a idiot but winning the war did ruin the UK. The US and Russia became superpowers, and Japan, and Germany became manufacturing giants. Does seem we got a little fucked over. Altho I’m not discounting we probably played a role in our own demise
Everyone who votes reform is pretty much just a nazi racist anyway so why is anyone surprised by this??
He shouldn’t apologise, he’s done the electorate a favour showing them how terrible he is.
Although it’s more telling that the Reform UK spokesperson instantly jumped to the candidate’s defence and did the usual ‘they’ve been taken out of context’ gish-gallop.
Makes you wonder how many within Reform UK are weirdly comfortable with the idea of a Nazi victory in World War 2. Our Nigel certainly has a history of singing Nazi songs.
I think it’s totally consistent for a Nazi like him to think it would have been better to let Hitler do what he wants. Let him make these comments, and let people vote accordingly.
Could he explain what the context was in which saying such things is acceptable?
Only sorry when the story blows up and his party looks bad for it
They are a rebranded National Front Party I remember those creeps from the late 70s!
While this guy is exactly as David Cameron described the average Ukip voter, I did have to chuckle at the Tory fella shoving his ha’pennyworth in.
You’d absolutely _never_ catch a Tory government just giving Hitler what he wanted in Europe in the hope he wouldn’t turn on Britain next…
When someone shows you who they are, best to believe them the first time.
It’s none of my business of course, but I do not believe that man has a happy family life.
“Taken out of context”
In what context would that have been an acceptable thing to say? Lmao
Most of the british government and elite at the time wanted to stay neutral and turned a blind eye to what was going on
