Adolf Hitler came to power through violence and intimidation.
You seem to think that couldn't have happened her - that there's something inherantly different between British people and Germans.
There isn't - someone could easilly have siezed power in Britain in a similar way had the conditions been only slightly different perhaps if we'd lost the first world war.
We're as easilly brainwashed - copare Hitlers anti-jewish propaganda with the muslim tirades of our own time - now that's scary

... and to answer AoG's question about Hitler :
Yes I did see the programme and I have also read both volumes of Ian Kershaw's excellent/fascinating/frightening biography.
Nothing in there persuades me that a similar demagogic megalomaniac could not have come to power in the depressed Britain of the 1930s - we were lucky rather than inherently superior in some way.
The defeat of Hitler's germany in 1945 was a profoundly good thing (which I'm proud to say my father was part of - landing on the D-Day beaches at the age of 20) ...
...using that victory as a stick to beat present day Germans is just plain wrong and makes me despair at the inability of some people to live in the present not some rose-tinted version of the past.

No we are much more laid back and tolerant., Hitler rose to power in a relatively short period of time.
Judging by what the fundamental Muslims have committed in this country alone, our ordinary Muslim communities live a very peaceful and protected life, and as far as I can see will continue to do so in the future.

What a totally illogical incoherent question. None of it's component parts have anything to do with the rest of it- it's like the Duck Billed Platypus of questions, with a few similarly Frankenstein answers.
Germany is no better or worse than any other country, and England is more than capable of staging a mass genocide, and has done so several times throughout history.

no i don't believe someone of like mind to Hitler would have held sway over the British people, if you look at our recent history, the fact that Mosley was given a good kicking for trying to impose, or shall we shall sway people to a cause that was already lost. He should have been hanged as a traitor to the state.
AOG Hitler didn't come to power in a relatively short period of time, i would say that from very early on, 1932 and indeed the seeds were sown long before that, war was declared here in 1939 which had given him a long time to arm his people and persuade the majority of his people to the cause. Many British i am sure didn't want war, they had been through enough in WW1, but when it came we were wholly unprepared.
jno
/// but that's because the cause was already lost, em. Suppose Britain had been hit as badly by the depression as Germany was, with its wheelbarrow full of banknotes needed to buy a loaf of bread? ///
No we are a different sort of people, the Jarrow March was the best we could manage.
Take this present financial crisis, along with it's cuts and loss of jobs.
Do we take to the streets in violent protest, such as they do in Greece, Spain or even France, one has to ask the question, "Why don't we"?

we were a lot better off after WW1 than Germany was. The hyperinflation was actually before the depression, and was caused by Germany losing the war and victor nations trying to bleed it dry. Nothing like that here.
Likewise we're now a lot better off than Greece and Spain. Do you think if we also had an unemployment rate of 25% things would be quite so peaceful?

AOG we do, riots last year remember? and any number before that, it's not within the bounds of reality that there are more to come. Some see the banking industry as a whole as a pariah and wish to bring it down. It won't happen of course, our society is, whether some like it or not, essentially a capitalist one, and i can't see that changing any day soon
