UK conservatives under fire for an alliance with Nazi glorifiers

UK’s Conservative Party is being criticized for the poor choice of its European allies, some of which never miss an opportunity to parade around in the uniforms of Nazi Germany.
On Tuesday, the Latvian capital of Riga saw hundreds of former Nazi SS veterans parading in a controversial commemoration march.
Despite widespread opposition and counter-rallies, almost 2,000 supporters took to the streets to honor those who died fighting on the German side during World War II.
The rally was staged by the For Fatherland and Freedom party, which is also a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group within the European Parliament.
This, in turn, has triggered criticism of the UK's Conservative party, which recently realigned itself with the ECR.
Labor MP Denis McShane sees the alliance as an opportunistic move.
“They [the conservatives] don't want to sit at the same table with the traditional center-right parties of Europe, so they had to find some new allies. So they got into bed with some pretty bad people. We don’t usually get into bed with people who think that the Jew-killers of the Waffen SS were good chaps,” McShane told RT.

1. Open and active anti-Semites should be arrested and must go to prison. IMHO. 2. But in the UK too powerful pro-Nazi lobby - from retirees and veterans of the Cold War with hight social status. Nazism was popular in Russia - only among Russian teenagers from the poorest, disadvantaged and single parent families. But there is a important difference. In Russia, pro-Nazi is not in parliament - in the UK pro-Nazi in parliament.
Fascism is a natural product of the capitalist system designed to protect capitalism from socialism/communism. In the late 1920ies and early 1930ties (when UK was not yet threatened by Germany) Winston Churchill PUBLICLY praised both Italian fascism as well as German Nazism for their anti-communist policies. Speaking about Benito Mussolini W. Churchill said: "What a man! I have lost my heart!... Fascism has rendered a service to the entire world... If I were Italian, I am sure I would have been with you entirely from the beginning of your victorious struggle against the bestial appetites and passion of Leninism."
Lucky, Your so called anti-Semites is an old Jewish trick who were hiding their crimes against humanity behind artificial law. How come there is no any anti-Russian law even though Russians were the biggest victims in the WW2? Over 30 million Russians were killed and many more died of starvation and diseases. So, please, get over it with your so called anti- Semites trick and become responsible for the crimes your comrades are recommitting against humanity. Palestinian tragedy is still going on.
