Fascinated anyone would believe Britain had the option of sitting the second war out and surviving, and the Empire played a fair hand in starting the first one. https://t.co/729n8Wg8Sj

Oh right… so nobody else in Europe fought or resisted the Nazis? By the fluke of geography we had a sea between us and Hitler… but for that we woukd have been a Nazi state too… you abject festering heap of stinking shit. https://t.co/FsgKe1rs6u

Mr Banks,
My granddad – a Royal Navy doctor in the North Atlantic convoys – treated both British & German casualties on those seas.
He believed in a common humanity. Not “lousy Europeans” or “Krauts” or “the enemy”. People. What we share.
Please stop your gratuitous insults. https://t.co/Fl36NAgXYC

Such a vile comment. My family, like many others in Europe, were war heroes in French Resistance & free French forces with de Gaulle in London. My resistant great-uncle was tortured by the Gestapo & executed in Paris. He never betrayed a secret. You insult all of them. Apologise! https://t.co/RZ3rI74Gxg

Invoking an historical event you have no semblance of an idea about to prove a point contrary to the whole spirit of the historical event, Exhibit A: https://t.co/uRbT8WN4nv

You insult the memory of my grandfather who went to fight fascism on the beaches of Normandy. Your mission of division will never win.

My mother is 94, spent the war making munitions and Spitfires. She echoes what Harry says. Right wing/hate politics disgust her. It’s what they went through the hell of war to defeat.

Twitter user Chris Kendall took the opportunity to seek answers.
This seems like an opportunity for a Twitter poll. Under Nazi occupation, where do you think we’d find Arron Banks?

We think we know which answer it won’t be.
