Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler includes the slogan ‘strong and stable’

Do you think you’ve heard that Tory election slogan ‘strong and stable’ before?

Well, rather awkwardly, it appears in Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf – something that is being pointed out by Labour supporters.

The dictator wrote: ‘November 9, 1923, in the fourth year of its existence, the National Socialist German Workers’ party was dissolved and forbidden throughout the entire territory of the Reich

‘Today, in November, 1926, it stands again before us, free through the whole Reich, stronger and internally more stable than ever before.’


Labour supporters took to Twitter and Facebook to point out the unfortunate fact to Theresa May and her party.

Birmingham Labour supporter and homeless charity founder Jock Lee led the charge.

He said: ‘Is anyone surprised, would you expect the Tories to copy a Bob Marley lyric for their election slogan, no they went straight for Hitler.

‘This is the Tories at their most blatant, quoting Mein Kampf is what they are all about, they are grinding the most vulnerable in society into the ground, a bit like the Nazis did.’

On Twitter, Labour supporters lampooned the Tories.

Since STRONG AND STABLE comes from Mein Kampf, perhaps we should Nazi salute every time we hear it said by Mrs May. — KirstenElliottSwift (@KirstenTElliott) May 18, 2017

However, Tory supporters have pointed out that Hitler might have stolen ‘strong and stable’ himself from earlier German books.
