42 Answers
On Sky News right now.
Former Tory Party donator Arron Banks was ridiculed as 'a nobody' by Wiliam Hague when it was announced recently he was going to be making a donation of £100,000 to UKIP.
As a result of the barb, he has increased that donation to £1 million.
You couldn't make it up, Tories fuelling the UKIP media machine with their ill-judged comments.

There they go again, taking us all for idiots. Cameron thinks that 'dangling the carrot' before a General Election will get my vote, its all utter bull ***!!! If I hear the line 'hard working people' again I'm going to scream! There seems to be no difference in the 3 main parties, slimy Cameron no way, the 2 Eds, do me a favour and Nick 'liar' Clegg ......... so what...

among the comments on the article you linked to, I found this
//To be honest I'm surprised it took 220 post for the thread to be Godwin'd. If you honestly lump in UKIP with the Nazi's then you must be a few miles left of Lenin.//
In highest rated mode, or first/last mode, it'll take forever to reach the post this replied to but I suspect the wording would have been similar to mine. Annoying, therefore to see the Left of Lenin jibe.
The point I made was a simple IF/THEN proposition: voting for a personality (Farrago) is dangerous, because of the lack of attention to policy. UKIP are not genocidal but Hitler didn't win on a genocide ticket, either.
The fear is not that UKIP -specifically- are genocidal xenophobes but that the overly casual attitude to voting ("give the corrupt MPs a good kicking" etc.), is the way in which a fascist regime will sneak its way into power.
If I have my history right, the Nazis got into power first and became extremists secondarily to that. The whole "shop thy neighbour" thing came into being as a tactic to keep themselves in power (against the likes of communists).
Hitler's anti-semitism may have been part of something endemic to his countrymen but - no excuses - he fed on that to win popularity and turned it into a policy. The death camps, however, wasn't one of his ideas - it was Heydrich and/or Eichmann (aided and abetted, no doubt, by technical advice from some barely-human scientist, whose name has escaped history).
