Ukip's Hugh Williams Pens Non-PC World History Book, Claims Nazi Invasion Due To 'Polish Aggression'

[oldironside]

Just when you thought Ukip had reached their nadir with Godfrey Bloom’s rant about “bongo bongo land”, Hugh Williams, the party's assistant treasurer pops up having penned a book detailing a non-PC history of the world.

Within Williams’ self-published, 350-page tome, the 67-year-old claims that Winston Churchill admired his fellow wartime leaders Hitler and Stalin, and that the brutal Nazi invasion of Poland was a result of “goading” by Warsaw.

Ah, so it was all Poland's fault. If Poland had just toned down her make up and worn a more demure length of skirt, World War Two could have been avoided all together. Glad we cleared that up.

1. In a coming sequel, Williams discloses that

it really wasn't the Poles fault at all - it was the JOOZ!!!!!!

2. The Nazi pre-text for the invasion was a very poorly-staged false flag operation

German troops dressed up as Poles and blew up an empty communications post.

The escapade didn't fool the international community and the "Poles started it" excuse only gets an audience in Neo-Nazi circles - which aren't the most scholarly or ethical bunch when it comes to historiography.

3. Similar to the far right group Jacob Rees-Mogg gave a speech to

"The Poles asked for it from 1919 onwards. It was Britain and France who made it a world war, not Hitler."

5. The story i heard was that Polish prisoners were dressed in Polish Army uniforms

and then murdered.

Maybe a bit of both.

4. The term for this is "blaming the victim"

6. Which is of course one of the main principles of the Far Right!

I've commented before, I think, that whereas most people think that one of the worst sins is to be a bully, many people on the Right think that one of the worst sins is to be a victim.

7. It is my observation...

that when people proudly refer to something they've said or written as 'politically incorrect', it is usually also factually incorrect.

8. Ay ay ay, what?

I need a pipe cleaner to stick into my ear. Ouch!
