Reform UK: "Rishi Sunak should have shown more respect to our veterans, who were wrong to liberate France from the Nazis"

Reform's spokesman:

Again, maximum banter heuristic is Farage and co do just enough damage to push the Tories into total meltdown but without actually winning seats.

Quite ikey imo

Honestly, I'd expect the Reform campaign to go through greater than Tory levels of meltdown once a few of the spicier candidates get noticed by the media.

however that picture is of a rather sad guy of course but thats Wehrmacht uniform and we should cont conflate Wehrmacht with SS/Nazi should we ? lets remeber the majority of germans were not Nazi's, the last free elections they got 42% of the vote by memory ?

As noted the railway in question asked Jewish visitors to its wartime weekend if they wouldn't mind dressing up in death camp uniforms.

oh for sure it is totally insensitive and plain headed wrong but I hate to see all Germans in WW2 labelled as nazis ... for me when I see this in the press it is lazy ... ps to declare part of my family perished in what is Ukraine now
