    What they have in common with one another is that they don't have anything in common.

    Congratulations Net Nut.

    Of all the stupid threads since June the 24th this is the stupidest.

    You should feel very proud of yourself.

    Keep on with the good fight.

    Yes. They all have an 'r' in them.

    But in future try and work that out for yourself. Now get your colouring-in book out, and keep yourself entertained until the bell goes.

    We'll see in a few years regarding Trump.

    Brexit is only capable of breaking the economy. It is not capable of doing anything worse -- the only people stupid enough to tie this to Trump, it seems, are Farage and Trump themselves.

    Godwin’s law can be wrong as Hitler similarities do happen.

    Well..........if we take the mass murders / concentration camps / WW2 out of the question, there are similarities with what Hitler was doing in the early 1930s. He was very much anti-establishment and claimed parliamentary democracy was rotten to the core and was lording it over the ordinary citizen. He claimed to be a man of the people but with radical solutions as to how he could "make Germany great again" by appealing to people's sense of nationalism.

    There is even a direct comparision with Brexit, with Hilter withdrawing Germany from the League of Nations (the forerunner of the UN) in October 1933 claiming they were interfering with German sovereignty.

    Keep in mind that to most people in Germany in the mid 1930s, the thought of a world war was utterly unthinkable. They took Hitler at his word and thought he was just a strong right wing nationalist who wanted to rebuild his country and turn it into a powerful but peaceful big player on the world stage.

    You're right that is scarily familiar on both sides of the Atlantic Isn't it?
