Here is further evidence of sanction targets, Conservative ministers insist they don’t exist.
This week, David Cameron visited Auschwitz, on the International Day of Human Rights. As a prime minister that has contravened the human rights of children, women, and disabled people, and given that he has pledged to leave the European Convention on Human Rights and repeal our Human Rights Act, I can only assume he visited one of the sites where some of the worst atrocities and abuses in our collective history took place for a truly cynical photo opportunity.
Many of us over this past couple of years have identified parallels between the Coalition’s prejudiced, socially divisive othering rhetoric, policy justification narratives and propaganda and those used by the Nazis. The main article, from The poor side of life highlights more parallels.
