Yeah, I think it’s valid to compare people to nazis when they say things that nazis say.
Personally I think the Nazis were worse than Braverman, but even if they were comparable to her, Campbell was a leading player in starting an invasion of a Foreign Country under a totally false pretext which ultimately killed millions....and Lineker gave him a job and went on the show! Did Lineker say that starting wars on false pretexts was something Nazis did? Or does he think they were just a bit verbally rude about people?

Millions?The long term aftermath though?
I could see getting to the million total easy.

I'm not convinced that either Campbell or the UK was ever influential enough to blame him for everyone that's died in Iraq in the last 25 years. Plus, do you not also need to apply some sort of gruesome calculus to net off the people who would have died if either Saddam had been left in charge, or the USA had gone it alone? It's not as though there was a unicorns and rainbows option.
I have no quarrel with that.But let's say ACs contribution was worth a share of say 30,000 deaths. (We can quibble about the number.)
If AC had said he didn't want 30k people coming to the UK GL would say he was a Nazi. If he literally killed 30k people on a false pretext GL gives him a job and goes on his podcast.
Yes, I'm sure the Nazis were very rude about people. ...but they also invaded places under false pretexts.
