Nazi Brexit Campaign

So a leading Brexit campaigner for Leave.EU has admitted that they used campaigning techniques used by the Nazis in full knowledge that this would great a wave of hatred and racism.

I hope anyone associated with such campaign is ashamed of themselves.

"Mr Wigmore admitted that campaigners were concerned they would be blamed for creating "a wave of hatred and racism".

He told Ms Briant: "The propaganda machine of the Nazis, for instance - you take away all the hideous horror and that kind of stuff, it was very clever, the way they managed to do what they did.

"In its pure marketing sense, you can see the logic of what they were saying, why they were saying it, and how they presented things, and the imagery.

"Having been on the sharp end of this campaign, you think: crikey, this is not new, and it's just ... using the tools that you have at the time."

Nothing quite like a little honesty after the event to expose your supporters as racists and bigots whose racism and bigotry you played upon. But it is better exposed than festering while hidden under a facade of tolerance.

Leave.EU wasn't affiliated with the official Leave campaign. It was the brainchild of Arron Banks, then the main backer of UKIP.

How many Turkish are there in the UK at the moment? They not in the EU so based on that we could have stopped them all! Finally the UK has more migrants each year from the rest of the world than from the EU - we have control of those so why are we letting so many in?

"I don't think Turkey will join the EU anytime remotely soon."

Even if they did join tomorrow. It is nonsensical to suggest that the entire population of a country hate their country so much, that they want to move to an entirely different country with a different language, climate, culture and religion that is 2-3,000 miles away!

"

HaHaHa...

I know it is hard for many to comprehend, but I keep saying that I voted out because we have a cancer in our political heart and are/were also a cancer in the heart of the EU, and we need to be made face up to it and cure it before we can become a fully integrated part of the EU which is where our future prosperity and security lies (in my opinion). The problem with brexit and this slow slide into fascism is that just like Germany in the 1930's the vast majority refuse to acknowledge what is happening in front of them.

Our country is broken, it has been broken by 40 years of monetarist policy, greed and a gradual move to the right. For 40 years the rich and powerful have blamed the EU and the poor and powerless for their mismanagement in the name of avarice and enough of the British people believed them to keep them in power, I voted out to remove one of the 2 excuses for our broken society. Soon the only people to blame for the growing disconnect between the rich and powerful and the rest of us will be ourselves, if at that point we still choose corruption, avarice and division over unity of purpose then we are lost and deserve to go the way of Ancient Rome.

So what percentage of Eastern Europe do you believe have relocated to the UK? 10%? 20%? 30%?

It was clear that much of the brexit campaign was akin to the Nazi propaganda and creation of fear. People would vote due to emotional stoking, rather than using their intellect. It was dreadful and awful, as it meant that people weren't intellectually engaged in understanding the complexity of the matter.

And of course the stay campaign was all champagne and roses!!

In fact the stay campaign was project fear!

So in my opinion it could be said that they were as bad as each other.

I voted on what I believe and not on what was said during the campaign.

It's refreshing to see an honest brexiter embrace the bits of Nazism that helps win elections.Fear of foreigners and powerful imagery.The only other group I can think of that embraces such marketing techniques is Isis.

I would suggest some brexiters should be on a terrorist watch list.

I never understood how a democracy like Germany could elect someone like Hitler.

That was, until I saw Donald Trump at work.

The parallels with Brexit were obvious - the populism, the demonising of minorities, the appeal to nationalism etc.

Not for a minute am I suggesting those behind either campaign are fascists in waiting.

But neither do I forget that Nazism did not start with the gas chambers.

Read coming of the third reich. It’s inciteful. Iirc they managed to get a small foot holding, which they they then used to create innocuous sounding laws which leveraged control. Rather than mind washing the masses they just needed a foot in the door through a small minority.

Without going too Godwin there are read across to brexit and the Henry viii laws.

There were comparisons made during the campaign they just replaced Jew with Islam.

However, with the Cambridge Analytica scandal it shows fear or smear campaign sticks to people.

"Turkey will invade England" sounds like project fear.

"The EU are full of currupted unelected people" sounds like project fear.

"JC will spend all our money" sounds like project fear.

The remain campaign did a bad job of project fear compared to the Brexit campaign and the government. People who have nothing are not scared to lose money they don't have.

I was simply pointing out that Will was implying that everyone who voted leave ( I voted leave) was a racist and bigot so by his own logic he was one too, as he voted leave!So the only person being offensive and disgusting and of very very low intelligence must be you as you didn't realise that!

How childish are you? If you're referring to me, I actually joined the official 'Vote Leave' campaign as a volunteer.

As Mercury already pointed out earlier in the thread Leave.EU was not part of the official Vote Leave campaign. There were other splinter Leave campaigns like the 'Grassroots Out (GO)' campaign but only one was awarded official status by the electoral commission.

The 'Vote Leave' campaign was the only group awarded official status by the electoral commission and was the one I joined as a volunteer.

Grassroots out and Leave.EU were separate campaigns and were never awarded official status.

If you read the article (I doubt that you have), Cambridge Analytica were asked to do a joint strategy for Leave.EU, UKIP and Eldon insurance, illegally using UKIP membership data.

So basically you are saying you are a special case.

Were the other 17,410,741 who voted Leave not as enlightened as you and therefore racists and bigots?

Believing, as you do, that a Leave vote is going to plunge the UK into fascist chaos surely it would've been better to vote Remain and fight the cancer from within the EU?

Again no. I do not think I am a special case, I expect there are many who reluctantly reached the same conclusion as I did and voted the same way for the same reason. And no again, I do not think this vote will result in the UK being plunged into chaos and a fascist state, I think we are already there, just this vote is going to eventually force those in total denial to face the reality of what present day Britain has become before it is irreversible without a bloody war. Of course this is only my opinion and I have little to back it up only the last 8 years of autocratic government by a minority party first with the support of weak and ineffectual LibDems and now with the support of the birther/intelligent design anti abortion political mouthpiece of loyalist terrorists who have overseen the more than doubling of the national debt while cutting taxes for the rich an services to the many in the name of austerity.

I know how many people live in the UK (as at last census). The point is do you know how many people live in Eastern Europe? Because the question was not what % of the population of the UK is made up of Eastern Europeans, but what % of Eastern Europeans now live in the UK, and therefore my answer was based on how many Eastern Europeans are there and I would say that figure will be in the 100's of millions.

Clearly that is not the case or like it so I put ridiculous numbers (but based on what you consider Eastern Europe as that may include the former German Democratic Republic and all populations up to the Urals and the border with Asia (and that's a lot people!)).

How much money did this country spend, how many lives were lost, standing up to tyranny and giving the people of eastern Europe their freedom?

Their freedom to choose democracy and membership of the democratic EU.

Their freedom is the prize for "winning" the Cold War.

No. I'm suggesting that the "prize" (the continued progression of globalism, and the tightening grip on world populations that corporations gain from it)may be beneficial in the short term, but could ultimately prove to to be a rather hollow victory for the proletariat of the former soviet states.

But they voted for governments who said they would join the EU. That's democracy for you.

Nobody choose that except politicians.

It's the equivalent of saying people choose to fuck over West Indian immigrants.

There's democracy and there's the illusion of democracy!
