Bridgen compared vaccinations against covid to the holocaust.

In the case of forced vaccination, it's a reasonable comparison, as it violates several item of the Nuremberg code. Some places did force vaccination, and even where it wasn't, there were plenty of high profile figures calling for it.

That is true. However The Conservatives have a lot of satellite companies run by politicians. There are some fairly well known ones even though it's not obvious they are run by party members.

Yeah, but then you get into disambiguation hell. My first serious coding project was an insanely ambitious attempt to do something like this with CH data. Great punt for a Masters thesis, but not the sort of thing I'd base proper research on. Love the look of the library they used to do this, in considerably better shape than my attempt. https://github.com/ribenamaplesyrup/sugartrail

Not research, but I spent 5 years writing matching algorithms for data for financial companies which was entered from random crappy mainframes driven by the lowest bidding data entry workers. This tied together the financial relationships of millions of people. The dumber it was the measurably more accurate it was. Hell even some of it used soundex scoring and a naive z-test to work out the confidence that two names were matching.

Agreed they're using the term 'far right' without basis - the BNP, Britain First, and other groups that use violence are far right. These are parties that are concerned about immigration. But the 'hack' and bad language won't get you far on HN. Just flag the post and move on.

Racial slur against Prime Minister Rishi Sunak: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckmg1mldk0mo "Britain should have accepted Nazi offer": https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/10/ref... We all know immigration = anyone who isn't white living in the country.

None of those things are advocating for ethnic violence.

All I will say is: Learn to read between the lines. Most people in politics are not stupid enough to say anything that crosses the line much further than shown. Especially considering it is illegal to call for violence.

So you’re advocating that these groups are secretly conspiring for violence? ok.

No they are calling the Prime Minister a "fucking p*ki" because they see all British equally.

Clearly you can't be reasoned with on this and just made your own angle obvious.

I didn't say that. I asked if they were advocating for violence as political extremists do by definition. You don't have a response.

You’ve embarrassed yourself, here.
