Barryd999 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 This is shocking. Farage said that anyone in UK civil service or military who doesn’t believe in Brexit should be removed. My jaw dropped. This is outrageous. It is fascistic to apply a single issue to determine “loyalty” as if we were in a war of religion. Shame on him." (Anthony Gardiner, former ambassador to the EU) I wonder what symbol they will brand us detractors with ? Welcome to UK control and democracy North Korean style. And for the Cult that fail to see the connection...... "Still under Nazi control, the Reichstag passed a new law ...making it a crime to speak out against the new government or criticise its leaders. Known as the Malicious Practices Act, the law made even the smallest expression of dissent a crime." https://vip.politicsmeanspolitics.com/2019/07/10/brexit-the-new-mccarthyism/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farage said that anyone in UK civil service or military who doesn’t believe in Brexit should be removed. https://vip.politicsmeanspolitics.com/2019/07/10/brexit-the-new-mccarthyism/ I find it more than an irony Farage espouses these views based on suspicion of state subversion when he and his ilk have been doing exactly that by subverting a democracy. If any need 'removing' and locking up we can start with him and chuck the rest in after him. McCarthyism was a truly wicked and evil era resulting in people accused of holding differing political beliefs, often with zero evidence, suspicion alone was enough to 'convict', ie research folk singer and civil rights campaigner Pete Seeger as one example. Thousands of people were thrown out of work with many wrongfully imprisoned. Thought ''policing" is nothing new. Post McCarthy it resurfaced in DDR with the Stasi who took it to another level using sophisticated (for the time) electronic monitoring of it's citizens, aided by thousands of informants many of whom informed on their own families. Same as McCarthyism, many citizens deemed possible 'subversives' were arrested and taken off to one of the many Stasi prisons where they were tortured and imprisoned. People were taken here purely for not sharing the same ideology but a suspicion of not 'being in line' was enough to get you thrown in. Erich Mielke was Stasi chief from 1957 until 1989 but eventually sentenced and imprisoned in 1995 aged 87 and by 1989, the last inmate in a Stasi prison.

The same cannot be said for Farages very dangerous view which even the former US Ambassador found extremely disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
