In light of the tweet that ended it for her, you may want to reconsider.
I read her tweet and Nazi connotations didn't occur to me. I do wonder sometimes if people are very keen to read things into situations that suit their own world view. Probably naivety on my part but I wonder why someone would commit career harikari like that?Motorrad said:

She didn't think it would be a problem for her employer. But it was.Diddums.

So why did she change it and resubmit as 'True Solution'?. I appreciate you are making a sensible point btw.When John Humphris interviewed Paul Nuttall yesterday morning about launching the UKIP Manifesto they touched on events in Manchester and Humphris then proceeded to describe Nuttalls actions as 'a bit of a suicide mission'.
I thought it inappropriate but carried on with my day.

Sometimes you just have to say what you feel, despite the consequences, just like the moment I told a boss of mine it was no coincidence that Jim Hensons Muppet Workshop was next door to his office.He asked did you call me a muppet? I answered Yes I did although to be honest thats pretty insulting to a muppet, now jog on and call your HR buddy I cant work with you anymore.

I wonder if the holocaust connection had genuinely not been her intention otherwise why change it?It's a hot potato and on balance I think she's savy enough to know what she is doing.
Remember the Labour Party - bastion of the lefty's (sic) - recently expelled a high profile member for dabbling in this area.
perhaps she should have said to invite them round for tea and biscuits,maybe that would have satisfied the t
tterati
yes,the holocaust was such a terrible act in history that maybe she meant that any would be suicide bomber willing to do what we have seen recently was only fit for being treated in such a way.or is it a matter of semantics where as the holocaust has always been known as 'the final solution' being historic it cannot be changed as it has happened whereas 'a final solution' is probably said everyday for one situation or another.

I choose to believe that she knew what she was doing.
She'll get plenty of work, so no hardship for her. I am sure don4l is offering his sympathies, and more, right now.
