Down play? Dianne Abbott? I’m simply relating the experiences of people I knew, had of both Nazi Germany and 1930s/40s Britain, as recorded in their correspondence. I’m pleased you at least know the Nazis conducted a reign of terror, which is precisely why in my opinion the statement ’Britain feels like Nazi Germany’ is hyperbole. The UK Government are not enacting any laws persecuting Jews or engaging in any of the behaviors and policies of the Nazis.

I have a the personal letters of someone who, together with her brother, fled to the UK from Nazi Germany. The letters record the hatred the family were facing, their fear and their agonizing over the decision to flee. They also record the reception the siblings received in the UK and the first years of their lives in England. Tragically, letter after letter after letter brings news of the deportation of their parents, relatives and final confirmation of their deaths. I’ve frequently read these letters through my teenage years and adult life. I’m absolutely sure there are incidences of abuse against Jews in the UK, one such incident would be one too many, but I doubt very much anything happening in the UK now comes anywhere near close to the experiences of Jews in Nazi Germany. I do however think the experiences of Jews in the UK are heading in the direction of where they were in 1930s UK. Antisemitism has a long history in the UK and was certainly experienced for Jews who fled Nazi Germany to the UK. But the UK 2024 feeling like Nazi Germany? IMHO hyperbole.

Giving women the constitutional right to sovereignty over their own bodies is something to glory in. -

You need to do more thinking. -
Perhaps getting rid of over 20,000 experienced officers and gutting community policing was not such a good idea. A move made by a Tory Government. It’s rare to see a police officer in the UK, and they have a habit of not attending burglaries: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/police-failed-attend-more-45000-26642555

Like I say, your pedantry is getting the better of you. To be honest I don’t fret about what my friends or indeed anyone close to me gets up to when I’m not there to keep any eye on them. Incidentally, provide a quote to substantiate this little gem of yours: “Then English friends who........” Even a quote of me referring to my ‘English Friends’ if you think you can find one. Give it your best go.
