JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: MATTHEW NORMAN COMPARES IRAQ AND BREXIT - SAYING LEADERS HAD NO EXIT PLAN - THEY HAVE NOT LEARNED - BUT COMPARING THESE TWO MATTERS IS EVIL - AN ILLEGAL MASS KILLING VERSUS THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY MATTHEW NORMAN IN THE INDEPENDENT


I think the writer has done a genuinely evil thing.

Comparing Brexit in any way with the Nazi-like invasion of Iraq, which killed hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed a society for a generation, is completely unacceptable.

Comparing a lack of plans by politicians in these two massively different events reduces mass murder and illegal invasion to the same level with a democratic decision on membership in an organization.

Wrong way to regard mass murder, but still more wrong way to regard a democratic decision.

A new low by Matthew Norman and The Independent.
