Perhaps he is thinking about the fact that the evening standards
sister paper, the Daily Mail, supported the Fascists in the 30's and
wrote articles supporting some of Hitler's policies. Back to modern
day the whole group of companies have a history of constant attacks
on minority groups.

Comparing the employee of such a paper to one of Hitlers guards
seems quite apt.

Another 17-year-old! Yes The Daily Mail was pro-fascist in the 30s as
was its famous foreign correspondent in Ethiopia, the greatest
English Novelist of the 20th century Evelyn Waugh. Most people were
up for appeasing Adolf until May 1940 when glorious Winston Churchill
finally disabused these ******s--including the King-- of their
appeasing ways. You, like Livingstone, probably clam up when you
think about how a tory had the vision to fight fascism to the end.
However, back, as you say, to modern day the Mail does *not* have a
history of 'constant attacks' on minority groups; it has a policy of
attacking certain *attitudes* to minority groups.


Churchill had also been a Liberal.
