What's the imaginative bit?
To be fair John, Versailles was indeed the catalyst for the conditions which spawned Nazism.
The reparations imposed on Germany led to the hyper-inlation which fuelled it.
Adolf was preaching to the informed converted when he made that linkage.
Add to that the great depression which hit in the wake of the Wall Street Crash and it is easy to see where WW2 came from (personally I always think WW2 was the second act of WW1 and the twenty years in between was a sort of ceasefire).
Lessons were learned from Versailles and the same mistake was not made in Yalta.
Instead we had the Marshall Plan and the eventual emergence of a nascent EU in the Common Market.
What these people have succeeded in doing is convince enough people, especially oop north, that almost twenty years of Thatcherism which ripped the industrial heart out of the country and ten years of Tory austerity which ripped the innards from their local services was the fault of the European Union.
They have found a willing audience among people ready to blame the foreigners who “took their jobs” without for one moment blaming the English employers who will happily pay buttons to a fellow from eastern Europe instead of paying an English person a proper wage.
You are right.
This is a type of fascism......Johnson is behaving as if he is a Dictator when the reality is he does not even have a majority in Westminster.
He is relying on the bigotry of one Irish political party to prop him up and the stupidity of another Irish political party to refuse to go in and help stop this coup in tracks.
That Cabinet is pure proper poisonous at a time when a Prime Minister worhy of the name shoukd be trying to unite this country by appointing a Cabinet to recognise our divisions and look for a way out.

Vauxhall owner 'could move Astra production from UK'
The move would probably lead to the closure of the site, the FT says, threatening 1,000 jobs.

in memoriam - 1965-2024
Lob in that the Govt are planning to spend £100m on an ad campaign to make everyone aware to prepare for a No Deal. Great day.
Puts the much vaunted £9m spent on the pamphlet warning that things might be a bit tricky into some context, especially as it was all going to be so easy. @Joey66

There will be a general election before a 'no deal'.
I’ve heard talk of a GE but how/why would one get called, not saying it won’t, just what would lead to it? Moderate Tory’s rebelling against the hard liners?
What Vote Leave leaders really said about no-deal Brexit
Dominic Raab’s comments on Monday’s Radio 4 Today have come under scrutiny
Why do I get the impression that this kind of airbrushing of history will be a centrepoint of this £100 million 'information campaign'?

Raab lies...
FactCheck: we can’t find evidence that Dominic Raab warned of no-deal Brexit
We can’t find an interview where Mr Raab warned explicitly about the possibility of a no-deal Brexit during the referendum campaign.

I heard that interview. Was embarrassing. The interviewer knows he’s talking guff as well, but doesn’t take him to pieces. We need accountability for lies.What Vote Leave leaders really said about no-deal Brexit

Isn't that what Johnson is counting on? He's going to do a May and go for an election with no deal as the centrepoint, and if he wins it then he'll have the mandate he wants. He's banking on the remain vote being split, and a combination of no deal pulling in all the Brexit Party voters and dislike of Corbyn pulling in all the centrist Tory voters to do the trick for him.

That Dominic Raab. What a piece of nonsense he is.
