Oakeshott’s ‘parasites’ jibe invokes memories of Nazism
Reform UK cheerleader Isabel Oakeshott has dealt herself – and the party she supports – a hearty shot in the foot with an attack on disabled people.
By saying, “These people are, frankly, parasites,” she invoked memories of Nazi Germany, where people with disabilities were denigrated as “useless eaters” and subjected to Aktion T4 – an extermination campaign that killed as many as 300,000 people.
Some might say that is almost as many as the Tories managed to send to their deaths with their punitive benefit policies between 2010 and 2024.
Disabled people have responded with anger, indignation and horror – and who can blame them?
I’m autistic and on PIP (tax-free benefit). This is me in Berlin at the memorial of autistic/disabled people that were murdered by the Nazis during Aktion T4.
If she believes that we are parasites. That proves where her ideologies lie.

Some of them have given her a new nickname:
Is-a-Bellend Oakeshott
THAT is what I’m calling her now, thinking she’s the gospel of the truth calling people like me a parasites! 😡😡😡

It’s vulgar. But who can blame them? By her own words, it seems she wants them dead.
