    When you mentioned it was a new low for remainers on this thread.
    Remainers never made the comparison. Andy Wigmore, Leave.EU campaigner did.
    Let's move on. ;)

    Exactly; it was a remainer in this thread that posted it. Andy Wigmore didn't make the comparison, a journalist did. But well done and now you have accepted that let's indeed move on.

    Tell me, was he elected as an MEP? By the people of the area in France he represents? ;)

    Sure.
    There are FN MEP's. there are 5star MEP's, there are UKIP MEP's...etc...
    With varying degrees of Euroscepticism.
    And your point is?
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    His views represent his electorate in the European Parliament; they voted for him and therefore for his (in your opinion) extreme right views. Keep going, we will get you there yet. Because yes, there is a significant amount of quite severe Euroscepticism within the European Parliament. Not all within the august EU love the EU as much as some remainers here in the UK do.

    Now stop trying to justify ilovehouses distasteful and unnecessary post which tries to compare leavers with Nazis.

    There's no need for another referendum.
    We all should get behind Treeza and her evaporating red lines to deliver some kind of Brexit in name only. Also known as BINO. Or BRINO.
    Disaffected Brexiteers can then claim victory and plaster the forum full of ROFL emoticons, while the wealth generating part of society (aka remainers) can get back to business as usual.
    Everybody happy! :beer:

    Absolutely nothing wrong with being a remainer, most are either now gung ho for Brexit or past caring, remoaniacs however...

    You did rather set that one up perfectly for me. It would have been rude for me not to have commented.

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/andy-wigmore-brexit-nazi-propaganda-cambridge-analytica-isis-recording-hitler-a8308186.html
    A leading campaigner for Brexit heaped praise on the “very clever” propaganda techniques of the Nazis and Isis, a recording has revealed.

    Andy Wigmore, who ran the Ukip-led Leave-EU campaign, also admitted it “completely, completely, completely” copied Donald Trump’s tactic of making “outrageous” statements.

    Meanwhile, the chief executive of the parent company of scandal-hit Cambridge Analytica was recorded saying Mr Trump deliberately portrayed Muslims as “an artificial enemy", in the same way that Adolf Hitler played on German hatred for Jews.

    Brings back that image of Farage in front of the poster of refugees from war claiming they were illegal immigrants. Fact is these types knew their market and how to press their buttons.
