One envisaged slave labour, the other a capitalist free market. The chapter headings were similar but the words underneath were not. True, Walter Hallstein was a former member of several Nazi professional organisations who became the first president of the European Commission. Given the period and the founder states there must have been other people in the EEC/EU who had embarrassing past associations - but that does not add up to your UKIP -lite distortion of history.
And who is condoning anti semitism - in the Labour Party or elsewhere? You seem to be pointing a finger at Cyril as you were coming in on the back of Wales-Bales 'biggrin' response to him. You could do with winding back a bit, stop the insults and abuse, and work on overcoming your bafflement.
