Tory MPs make the final link to identify with fascism in ‘Good Friday’ tweet

Fascism: Nadhim Zahawi was one of several Tory MPs who posted an image that tried to appropriate Christian imagery for the Conservative Party.

Remember my article a couple of weeks ago, asserting that Boris Johnson’s government is not Conservative but Fascist, and providing the reasons?

I referred to a list of 14 characteristics of fascist regimes, as defined by Lawrence W Britt. Johnson’s government conformed to 13 of them.

The only one missing was “religion and government intertwined”.

And now the Tories have met that condition as well.

Why else would Nadhim Zahawi have tweeted this?

Zahawi, originally an Iraqi Kurd, has a Christian background but that cannot excuse him publishing an image that some would describe as blasphemy.

An image containing a Christian symbol, with the Tory logo attached to it, on one of the holiest days in the Christian year, is not only tasteless; it is shocking.

The Conservatives are not Christian in either outlook or behaviour. Jesus Christ often preached against the selfishness of people with Conservative values – perhaps most famously when he said it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Apparently many other Tory MPs have tweeted it too, which suggests that it has come from Conservative Central HQ.

So this image can serve no other purpose than to attempt an intertwining of religion and government, as defined in fascist ideology.

There has been a backlash, of course.

I have part-paraphrased Clare Hepworth’s tweet already. She also said that although she is an atheist, she respects the icons, rituals and symbols of all of them – and described the Tory image as “tasteless and just plain wrong”.

Here are some more:

Some Tories have tried to counter by claiming that the image was no worse than when the Labour Party has posted images to Muslims saying “Eid Mubarak”, but it is an argument that does not work. Here’s the reason:

Just so. Labour wasn’t appropriating Muslim symbols when it sent its message to Muslims, but that’s exactly what this message did.

And that means Zahawi and the Tories have crossed the line into full-on fascism. What a time – and what a way – to do it.

    OMFG they have finally jumped the damn shark WTF. Using a Christian religious symbol on good Friday and then slapping a Tory logo right next to it is beyond offensive it’s blasphemous and finally proves once and for all their fascists.!!

    It’s a fascist playbook special move using religious symbols next to political symbols to promote yourself. First we had the tories must be next to the flag BS and now this what’s next brown shirts?

    I know they have pulled this in USA for years but this is a new and disgusting low even for the Tory scum.

    Fascist tories imitating the powerful messages Nazis constantly issued because this is what fascists do!

    Stupid women and men will still believe the lies fascist tories tell them and yet the hyprocisy of these fascist boy tories is astounding! What about the increasing poverty fascist tories are inflicting on women and their children? Oh yes of course – that’s irrelevant because all women and men just need to ‘pull themselves up by their boot straps and engage in slave labour for the tory fascist masters!

    Little england is now a one party fascist state!
