Raving racist Norman Tebbit admits he’s more right-wing than Hitler
Tebbit’s law: the law of the far-right thug, apparently.
What a confession.
Norman Tebbit, writing in the Daily Telegraph has admitted that he thinks Adolf Hitler’s Nazi government of Germany in the 1930s and 40s was left-wing – because it had the word “socialist” in its title.
It’s an old, and easily-defeated, false argument but let’s all take a moment to enjoy the fact that the skeletal old thug has admitted that his own politics are more extreme even than Hitler’s. We all suspected; now we know.
He wrote: “Churchill was the great wartime leader in the fight to save this country and liberate our friends on the continent from the curse of Hitler’s extreme Left, anti-Semitic, German National Socialist Workers’ Party regime.”
“Extreme Left”? “Extreme Left“?
Reality check, please!
To Norman Tebbit and any so called 'conservative' wanting to propagate the lie that Nazis were socialists, you might want to look here (and countless other places) https://t.co/jugjU2Brk8. If you're too lazy to read it, I'll summarise: 'Nazism was/is extreme right wing fascism'

There y’go. And if Nazism was “extreme right-wing fascism” but Norman Tebbit considers it to be of the “extreme Left”, then clearly Mr Tebbit is so right-wing he should be quarantined to prevent his own fascism from infecting anybody nearby – and the Torygraph sanctioned for publishing his vile opinions.
The article has produced some sharp responses, which are worth celebrating, though:
When you’re so far right you see Hiltler as a leftie.

Think we have a joint winner in the great right-wing revisionist competition. Cycling and cricket racist Norman Tebbit and the Telegraph for printing his piece in which he first of all describes Hitler's Nazis as "extreme left"…and then belittles the death of George Floyd… pic.twitter.com/gmbrzckpJH

If you’re not aware of this, the label “cricket racist” arises from his infamous 1990 ‘cricket test’ in which black Britons were invited to pick a side to support when England played the West Indies. The implication was that they were more likely to support the foreign team than their own national side. Some have tried to claim that the comment was not racist but it is very similar to an anti-Semitic trope which suggests that all Jews are more loyal to Israel than to the UK. If the latter is anti-Semitic (and This Writer would certainly say it is, despite a pathetic attempt by the Labour Party to suggest otherwise with an extremely selective quotation) then the former is certainly racist.

For the surprising number of people who seem to think that the Telegraph / Norman Tebbit assertion that the Nazi party were extreme left wing was correct. pic.twitter.com/nCpl6g4ITQ

Need any more be said?
Yes?
Okay, here’s Sean Connery, from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
“Goose-stepping morons like [Tebbit] should try reading books instead of burning them!”

This terrible old tripe about the Nazis being Left wing because they called themselves “socialist” has always worried me because , with each passing day, fewer people are left who have any notion of what Nazi Germany represented.
As time goes on, we will be left with the vague notion that the Second World War was just another battle between Britain (goodies) and Germany (baddies) with Churchill as the sole hero who saved us from being Germans! And , for some, Brexit being another chapter in the same national conflict.
I think the easiest way to distinguish between Left-wing and Right-wing (and, yes, you DO have to explain this as the population are being systematically re-educated to not understand politics) is to differentiate between those who emphasise inequality between men and women, black and white, working class and ruling class, white-collar or blue-collar ie the Right-wing and those who seek to unite and equalise people on fair lines , regardless of gender, race, religion etc ie Left-wing. And then let people work out which is which from their own observations.
Try the laughing sailor u tube. He be saying next labour are lefty’s when in fact they are their brother and sister in arms oh Eck
if ever there was a prme example of questioning the existence of monuments and statues that distort and re-write history, this is it,
Either put them in a museum with an honest and accurate reason why they are there or have an honest, prominent plaque in place explaining the real history should be done in all cases.
Next thing is he’ll be saying he was a better pilot than goering…
