In fairness the Mail has been consistently anti-socialist before and since then (even notoriously publishing the fake Zinoviev letter that scuppered Labour in the 20s) but it shows how one person can seek to influence the masses in a Murdoch styleee!
It's also a fact that the guardian supported the confederacy in the American Civil War. It's also a fact that opinions before world war 2 were very different to after (you can find many pro Stalin articles before it for example). Imagine endlessly pointing that out.

It's also true that it's 2023 now and a story about a politicians alleged sexual offences have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the Nazi party. Surely people know by now that throwing around such things is pointless? I realised it when I was 16 and a bloke in the pub told me to shut the fk up you boring little kid. A wise lesson learnt!
