It's a stance of neutrality from my perspective He works for The BBC and The BBC are supposed to be impartial when it comes to political matters.Yes I'm sure he feels very strongly about the issue and he has the right to an opinion but it was his reference to Nazi Germany that concerned me and his conflation between that period and the current situation

I know its an old fashioned view but Its something I believe it.

The problem with that particular tweet was that various media outlets exaggerated and embellished what he actually said.

He specifically criticised the use of language not dissimilar to that of 1930s Germany. That was surely a back reference to an actual holocaust survivor calling out the Home Secretary on the same point a few weeks previously?

It wasn't his analogy, and the originator of the analogy seems to be uniquely qualified and entitled to make that comparison.

An alternative old fashioned view to the one which you articulate is that many people would prefer not to have political leaders making policy and using language that invites that kind of comparison.
