You can invoke whatever law you like, very few have ever suceeded in gaining redress against members of the UK government, besides whats wrong with aligning various tryannical eras, history is there to serve as a lesson which it cannot possibly do if it's never referred to, such a law as godwins law only serves to belittle constructive opinion when one has expired themselves of any further constructive comments and as such has no value other than to be a distraction from the subject at hand.
The systematic and progressive dismantling of the welfare state, which I hasten to add is not set to stop at the state benefit and disability/pensions system but will spread to all state run sectors from schools and hospitals to the courts and eventually even the emergency services will be to the detriment of Britain, the last two eras of capitalism under Blair and Thatcher has demonstrated pure capitalism is fundamently flawed for a variety of reasons and that is exactly why removal of the states safety nets despite their shortcomings and regulatory bodies however impotent they may appear will be with great regret to all.
