My principal objection was that the Nazis were referred to as ‘Right wing’. The clue is in the name, National SOCIALISM. And if Right wing means small government, minimal interference and national democracy, how can it possibly apply to Hitler?

An excellent article. I knew the programme would be rubbish. First, because it’s by the contemporary Beeb – now little more than the Guardian on Air. Second, because I glimpsed that vicious commie airhead, ‘Ash’ something, offering her puerile, uninformed opinions ex-cathedra and without challenge. Her very presence on such a programme was a disgusting affront, an insinuation that bloody Marxism – death toll 100million-plus – was somehow innocent. All in all, it is a production which demonstrates one thing with crystal clarity: the very hardest Left is now calling the shots at the highest levels of our society and it’s about time we pulled them down.
