In what ways does the analogy make any sense?

It's the same as people saying Boris Johnson staged a coup. The country has lost its mind.

The analogy makes sense because the anti-democratic EU, (whose laws trump ours, whose executive is unelected and misusing powers to skew things their way), is given succour by our traitorious Parliament.

Vichy had nothing to do with concentration camps - it was a pliant government doing a foreign power's bidding.

As if you din't know.

I doubt that your shock is genuine. The analogy doesn't suit your Remainer's argument so, of course, it must be OTT and the rest of the rubbish Hugh accused me of.

The events of WW2 are far frlm forgotten in my mind - I'm closer to it than you. What I see now in the EU is a system that is rigged the way the Commission want, exercising pressure in the way that Greece was subordinated, for example. Nothing to do with Nazis and concentration camps. All to do the compliant governments whose parliaments are under the EU cosh as we can see from our simple request to leave the EU.
