Re: The Pope Thread [UK visit 2010 - merged]
Do we have a party or group with political aspirations that hold extremist views with intolerance to just about everybody and anything that cannot be considered to have Great Britain running through their bodies like a stick of rock.
The parallels with the rise of Nazism were using a bit of foresight whereby in the difficult financial times ahead there could be social unrest whereby views that are rejected during normal times may become attractive.
I suspect that he envisages very difficult socio\economic times ahead and hopes that "nasty nick et al" do not attract an increased level of support.
That party (if they can be called one) has clashed with the church of England recently over using Christian symbolism to put over their message.
Atheist extremists was probably too broad a brush with which to paint a picture but perhaps he thought that with a few seconds worth of thought people would add the elements together and realise that we only have one group that is a candidate for comparison with Nazi or Fascist extremism.
