David Starkey criticised after comparing SNP to Nazis

David Starkey has come under fire after controversially comparing the Scottish National Party to the Nazis during an interview.
The historian and TV presenter said both groups have a “twisted cross” as their symbol – the Saltire and the swastika – and likened the SNP’s view of the English to Adolf Hitler’s anti-Semitism. The comments were criticised as “irresponsible” and “deeply offensive” by a new SNP MP after the party won 56 of 59 seats in Scotland last month, Mr Starkey made the comments during an interview with The Sunday Times, saying: “What are the points of comparison? “Well, we have a political movement that has a single historic explanation for why your country is facing such terrible oppression; it's either Versailles or the Treaty of the Union. “You have a particular group of people who are responsible for this; it is either the English or the Jews.” He went on: “You have as a symbol the twisted cross: the saltire or the swastika. You have a passionate belief in economic self-sufficiency: known by the Nazis as autarky and the Scots as oil.

He is right about a couple of points though which I have highlighted above.

He is the male answer to Katie Hopkins.

I actually did a thread on the same topic but i will ask the same thing..
How come anyone who voted for the British Nationalist Party would be considered a nazi, brain dead lunatic...

Yet anyone who voted Scottish Nationalist Party is a patriot...
