Hitler was an amateur compared to Mao - 6 million compared to 65 million
And yet it is facism and not communism which is the problem.
Whereas the Hitler number is very tightly defined, possibly by the number of people murdered in the Holocaust.
Why would you create such an inaccurate comparison?Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostYou are not comparing like with like with your numbers. The Mao number may be correct as deaths caused by Mao. Seems reasonable if you include premature deaths due th famine. It isn't the number of people murdered under Mao.

The method of voting in the referendum was a pile of ****.
Brits aboard should have been given a right to vote. Even Iran sets up voting stations abroad including the USA.
The threshold for changes such a leaving the EU should have been set at 60% or greater making any result clear.
Any irregularities in funding should have made the vote void."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Because it's a successful and far more democratic way of voting in most other European countries?Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostWell the conservative Manifesto did say that they would change the 15 year law, but they didn't. Apparently it's still going through Parliament...
In fact, there is a host of very important legislation that has been shelved because of Brexit. This is the sickest government I have known in 60+++ years."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
