Hitler can be replaced only if an expansionist leader with evil views took over a strong country like a Germany, US or France. All links to Hitler in the past: Nasser, Saddam, Putin, Netanyahu don’t have the power to inflict worldwide war to the scale of 30s Germany. For now, the safety nets are still in place to stop this. |

Napoleon is looked at with admiration for his skill in battle and he did bring some achievements such as Napoleonic code. I see what you mean however about one being seen as a “great man” in history. Napoleon, it must be remembered, was the bad guy in the world until Hitler. No one has replaced Hitler. When they do, the devil incarnate will be this person for the next 80 years and people will most likely lose reference of Nazis, as they have done for most history. Hitler wasn’t respected. Napoleon, even on Saint Helena, was sent books to read by British politicians and had English friends; to the point where he requested to live in Britain. [Post edited 24 Mar 14:12]

Very enjoyable I thought! |

Was a very good cup final I thought. The referee announcing the VAR decision on loud speaker was great, though the decision was easy and still took 3 mins |

I find this charge towards linking AH with Reform to be a bit odd. They are extremely opposed and any Reform civnat would never support the collectivised ethno nationalist ideals of AH. Reform voters love to rely upon the World War Two historical analysis. Here, disrespect to Churchill is seen as killing your own country. The Nazi is, therefore, their ultimate enemy; otherwise what did Churchill fight for and against? Is the Nazi, and therefore Hitler himself, not the Reform "patriot's" (quoted as I dislike the word) main antagonist? Anyone in Reform who likes AH is surely either an infultrator, akin to the 1980s Trotskyists in Labour, or are simply unwise as to which party they're in. This last point I admit is a possibility. |

The Kingsland and Chapel are yet to be fully blessed by atmosphere. Perhaps a Kingsland, much like the old East (?), could be in favour with the minorities. I use minorities as what the masses want is inevitably going to turn to s***. The beauty of this is we customise our future without the club. Padded seats and a half way line view could be in our hands, especially useful for half time watches of Netflix on one's phone. [Post edited 16 Mar 13:36]

I'm pondering whether to get a Season Depression. Are people staying in the Northam? Thinking of moving to the Chapel next to the skates? Itchen North for nostalgia and to outsing the Tonkas and Seals? I may join you (probably not). |

Just seen the first pictures and it looks very odd. Not a toilet bowl like Portsmouth’s Fratton on the sea, more like a UFO. |

Also, Russia and Ukraine are both ranked similarly in terms of the democracy index: both are seen as “hybrid regimes.” This was their marking as late as 2021. Hybrid Regimes are seen as having issues with: - Fair Elections - Freedom of the press - Rule of law - Political participation [Post edited 10 Mar 23:56]

You’ve just changed the argument. I’m not saying Farage didn’t win votes from that crowd. It was you who said Farage presented it as a nationalist and isolationist project, which, as i’ve said, he didn’t. His argument externally was international trade with partners he felt were cut off by the EU; the EU, he claimed, were protectionist. |

The justification, as I alluded to in the previous post, is war; war is apparently patriotic. Now fight Russia, or you don’t get patriotic points. Also, if we’re going on what Farage thinks, he sold Brexit as international rather than nationalistic. He wanted the free trade with Europe, with America, and with the world. Just not the political union. Of course it hasn’t come out like this, but this is what he supposedly thought. [Post edited 10 Mar 22:53]
