Board criticises Tory MP for Nazi Germany comment over vaccine passports

“We are not a ‘papers please’ society. This is not Nazi Germany, okay” he told BBC 5 Live earlier today.  

His host Rachel Burden denied a direct comparison could be made and said there was a “long long way between what people are being asked to do and Nazi Germany.”

Mr Fysh then replied it was “the thin end of an authoritarian wedge and that’s why we will resist it.”

Reacting to the MP’s comments on Monday, Ms van der Zyl said: "It is completely unacceptable to compare the proposed vaccine passports with Nazi Germany. We urge people, particularly those in positions of authority, to avoid these highly inappropriate comparisons.”
