I stand by what I said, but the replies I received reflect a growing concern that our European neighbours are heading down a dark path.

Hundreds of Twitter users argued that it was wrong to dismiss the comparison; in their view, you’d have to be blind not to see the parallels between Nazi Germany and what we’re currently witnessing on the continent. I imagine the hundreds of thousands of people protesting across Europe would agree.
