Lord Rothermere (then owner of the Daily Mail) and Adolf Hitler

It seems The Daily Mail are unable to kick the habit of supporting fascists… from the paper that brought you “Hurrah for the Blackshirts” in 1930s are now advocating Marine Le Pen in 2012.

Marine Le Pen remains, among an imperfect choice in urgent times, the only candidate capable of saving France’s control over her finances, borders, and identity.

She is the only candidate available to conservative voters advancing the case for an exit from the Euro, the one measure which if executed carefully might yet save France from being swamped by foreign debts amassed elsewhere in a European project largely of its own making.

While Nicholas Sarkozy raises the prospect of securing French borders through withdrawal from the Schengen area, she possesses the requisite disdain for European entanglements which he all too comprehensively does not. Her defence of French national identity in the country with Europe’s most numerous Muslim minority is credible, whereas Sarkozy’s betrays his increasingly impotent opportunism.

France next elects a president to the Élysée Palace in 2017. The most urgent question in this election ought to have been whether the next will matter much. There is no good reason as things stand to believe that France will escape the impotent slide into the morass of multiculturalism and bankrupt late European social democracy.

Richard Waghorne has form as he wrote a similar article praising Le Pen earlier this year: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2087042/French-downgrade-shows-Marine-Le-Pens-role-French-public-life-just-legitimate-increasingly-necessary.html

Is it me or does his language slightly reminiscent of Breivik’s manifesto?
