I'm not aware of any Nazi party being in power at present, Warbler, or killing millions. Religious fanaticism's managing to do that quite nicely at present instead.

You refuse to even ADDRESS the Daily Worker's post-war promotion of Communism, published in the full knowledge of what the Soviet Union did and continued doing right into the 1960s with its filthy gulag system.

I understand perfectly what you're saying viz. the Daily Mail (the paper's excoriation has been an annual favourite on this forum for years), but what I don't understand is why, when I give you an example of an equally outrageous organ of propaganda which supported an EQUALLY vicious, brutal regime, you're quiet as a church mouse. Why? Because you support its views? If you have the honesty to answer 'yes' to that, then why deny Kathy her honesty to enjoy a right-wing newspaper, no matter how tarnished its past ownership has been? That the paper is soliciting funds for a Christmas Appeal is not the issue, is it? The Worker used to solicit for membership to the Communist Party, extolling the virtues of comradely cooperation and the vicious evils of capitalist self-interest, while wilfully overlooking the thousands it knew fine well were dying through cold, starvation and illness while undergoing forced slave labour throughout the Soviet Union.

And it amazes me that you see nothing ethically hypocritical about red tops which promote their income with photographs of half-nude women, while pontificating on the evils of prostitution. Double standards worthy of an award from Private Eye.

[QUOTE="krizon, post: 2095945, member: 64950"] I'm not aware of any Nazi party being in power at present, Warbler, or killing millions. Religious fanaticism's managing to do that quite nicely at present instead. You refuse to even ADDRESS the Daily Worker's post-war promotion of Communism, published in the full knowledge of what the Soviet Union did and continued doing right into the 1960s with its filthy gulag system.
