Hitler Got Things Done

[Betty Boop]

Bernie Ecclestone seems to have admired the way Hitler " got things done", he also goes on to slate Blair and Brown. He thinks Max Mosely would make a better Prime Minister. :rolleyes:

Stephen Pollard, Editor of the Jewish Chronicle, said: “Mr Ecclestone is either an idiot or morally repulsive."

I'd say he's both. And, more to the point, why the **** is anyone asking him his views on anything?

I'm surprised he slates Blair, when it was Blair that exempted F1 from a ban on tobacco sponsorship, in exchange for a £1million donation to the Labour Party.

In a lot of ways, the Nazis were a progressive party, and some of the things they did are still admirable today. Autobahns, when everywhere else was still getting to grips with the motor car, their concern for the environment, vegetarianism and physical fitness are good things.

They were a bunch of twisted archoles though, and other than the things I mentioned I can't find a redeeming feature. Other than their uniforms, which were pretty damn cool.

Just one crucial design flaw :greengrin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO5WoLnOOlU)

Probably because he's an extremely successful businessman.

You're right, the site is down. :boo hoo:

And it is therefore necessary to ask him to proffer his phenomenally stupid opinions about systems of political governance and fascist dictators? Riiiight...

Hugo Boss :agree:

They don't make a big deal of it on their website though.

The papers are there to make money and people are more interested in the opinions of the rich and famous than they are in you or I. He has also run an organisation very successfully over many decades so obviously knows a thing or two about governance.

Threads by Hugo Boss, wheels by Porsche. :cool2:

Hitler blew his brains out at the end, so to be fair he did do some good things occasionally:agree:

Just a tad suspect on race relations though.

A minor misunderstanding, that was all.

FR, you can't be serious.

The first of the autobahns was completed in 1931, between Bonn and Koln. The Nazis came to power in 1933. So they didn't invent the autobahn.

They DID think it was an awfully good idea, though - mainly as a way of moving large numbers of troops and military vehicles rapidly around the Reich. Which was handy for what they were REALLY about.

Physical fitness for Aryan ubermenschen maybe. Not a lot of physical culture (should that be KULTUR?) in Bergen-Belsen or Majdanek, though.

Concern for the environment? An interesting concept. How does the heavy industrial development of the Ruhr fit in with it? Or the nasty smells that used to come out of the chimneys of certain other of their "industrial plants" they scattered around Europe?

Adolf may have lived on lentil porridge and prune juice (jings, the bunker must have reeked on a bad day) but most of his followers wouldn't have joined him except at gunpoint. Which occasionally was the case.

Besides - how can anyone be considered environmentally-friendly who produced the amounts of pure methane Hitler did? He was a notoriously copious and aromatic serial farter.

Come on, FR. Lentil porridge and before-breakfast press-ups cannot possibly count as "redeeming features" in the face of the Nazi reality.

You've got to try and see positives in every human being. I'm afraid that's the best they can do.

And without Hitler we would never have had those immortal lines:

Ein reich, ein volk, er.....

I mean

Hey you don't be a farty
Come and join the Nazi party.

(I'm not sure that's the right words though.)

I maybe misquoting, but as I remember it was (in English)

One flesh.....
One bone.....
One true religion.....
One race.....
One hope....
One real decision

That's something else, isn't it?

Ein Fleisch, ein Blut,
ein wahrer Glaube.
Eine Rasse und ein Traum,
ein starker Wille.

One flesh, one blood,
one true creed.
One race and one dream,
one powerful will.

It does sound a little like the dear chap's rantings.

I'll check what he actually said when I have the Vegetarian Mens' Environmental Eco-Warriors Abteilung in for our weekly viewing of "The Triumph of the Will". :devil:

It was

Hey, don't be a partei-pooper;
Breaking wind is really super....
