The Daily Fail is a far left wing conspiracy
Think about it.
You want to make anyone vaguely right-wing look bad. Problem is, there are plenty of centre-right and below with perfectly sane, validly held (not necessarily right, but with a good spread of facts to back them up) and at least half researched views. For example, disliking the European union, or wanting travellers to obey the same laws as everyone else. Not a great starting point if your ultimate aim is a comparison with Hitler that rings true.
So, you prey on those who usually hold such views, combined with rose tinted specs about the good old days-i.e. older, middle class people. Lots of offers for spa breaks, golf, petunias etc, and some nice tales about the war.
You then latch on to any issue of the day, and put an increasingly exaggerated view on it. EU proving to be a beurocratic mess? It's all them foreigners innit! Euro floundering? Germany's starting a fourth reich! Remember, only ever refute straw man arguements that you made up from the other side.
Chuck in a few columnists who prey on vague feelings of uneasiness. For example, gays-a ot of your readers grew up when being gay was illegal. A lot will be flat out predjudiced, but what about the unsure ones? why, run a column about ruined families, the seedy lifestyle, and push anyone on the fence well into lynching territory! While you're at it, pop it all online with lots of ads so younger people can go "Urr, look at these rabid fascists", while you rake in the money.
Now, anyone who disagrees with you is just one of those fascist daily fail readers. Sorted.

Agreed
I have held a similar view for a while now. It's beautiful in its simplicity.
