The issue isn’t that Gary has tweeted criticism of a government policy, which he and others have done in the past without repercussion. The issue is that he thought it acceptable to compare the policy of a mainstream political party (a policy which a not unsubstantial proportion of the country support) to the behaviour of the nazis.
Unless you can give examples of others who have compared the behaviour of a mainstream political party to the Nazis or other similar groups (Isis, North Korea) and not been reprimanded it is not factual to say the standards are not being applied equally.
Actually, he didn't. He compared the language used by the Foreign Sec to promote the policy to language used in the 1930s in Germany.
That is quite a different thing.
If you are going to be posting in support of the BBCs action here, it might actually be beneficial to actually understand the 'incident' at the heart of the issue..
