As for any contradiction, no. None whatsoever. Nor am I proposing concentration camps but rather internment camps much like the internment camps on the island to contain possible and potential enemies of the UK because sure as eggs is eggs the creatures committing the crimes that they take in their stride are just as much enemies of the UK and probably more than the people banged up during the war. It was your statement that I had in mind rather than your avatar. Your distinction between concentration camps and internment camps is a semantic one. Wiki definition, with which I agree: "As a result of the Holocaust, the term "concentration camp" carries many of the connotations of "extermination camp" and is sometimes used synonymously. Because of these ominous connotations, the term "concentration camp", originally itself a euphemism, has been replaced by newer terms such as internment camp, resettlement camp, detention facility, etc., regardless of the actual circumstances of the camp, which can vary a great deal." It is the nature of your solution that is suggestive of Nazism rather than the terminology you do or don't use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a really useful insight, just how many did you consult to arrive at "general mood" No I haven't. Lots. How many did you ask to know different?

Only a small group of ex servicemen numbering 39 (based on the "like" system). A large number of family and friends (none who have served) also think it's a good idea. Just think of the endless possiblilities. The regular servicemen and women could continue in the way they are now and the National Service men and woman could be used around the UK. The government are forking out huge amounts in benefits so why not get something out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nazism aka national socialism has clear blue water between having facilities where known criminals who are not British citizens are contained and concentration camps, a British invention used in the Boer war including as extermination camps. To try to bring a factor into the discussion that simply is not there by any association is disingenuous to say the least and teeters on the breach of falling under the scope of Godwin's law.
