Within the walls of the cowards castle (i.e Parliament) a government MP Steve Gibbons compared the opposition t having the same attitude as the Third Reich effectively calling them NAZI's.
When Parliament resumed today the Leader of opposition business seeked an apology for this comment. It was knocked down by the Government by using their numbers to block the motion.
Now the question is should politicians be made to apologise for making incorrect comparisons or even trying to make a Goodwin within Parliament?
Or should he be allowed to make whatever comparisons that he likes regardless of accuracy?
Me personally I don't think he should be made to apologise even though it seems he deliberately used the term to stir up emotions, however, I believe that he should be shown that his comparisons are wrong and maybe even told to at least acknowledge his mistake.
What do you guys think?
