Ecclestone, QPR and Adolf Hitler

Ecclestone's Heroes

QPR BLACKPOOL 8 AUGUST MATCH REPORT HERE

So Bernie Ecclestone, majority stakeholder in QPR, is an admirer of Adolf Hitler who, apparently, "got things done". I'll cut to the chase - how can Lakshmi Mittal and Flavio Briatore possibly now tolerate their continued association with Bernie Ecclestone? Which one of them will have to leave QPR, and can it please be Bernie Ecclestone with immediate effect?

The fascist loving Bernie Ecclestone might be better associated with a club whose name I wont mention in a different part of London more well known for its links to the far right after all, and QPR's last season wasn't exactly filled with examples of "getting things done". Most sickeningly Ecclestone in his tirade defends Hitler by dismissing both the deaths of millions in the Holocaust and the war by saying he somehow got 'led astray' but was otherwise a good leader.

QPR exists in an area more ethnically diverse than many others in the capital and yet when you go to see a game in my experience it is very rare to see more than a couple of non white faces. How can this possibly be improved while we have at the helm a man who is an admirer of Nazi Germany? How can QPR expect its fans to fork out for overpriced season tickets when they now know some of the profits will be going into the pockets of a man who supports people who bombed this city and slaughtered millions? He must now go, and take his repulsive views with him.

  1. I nearly choked on my cornflakes as I read The Times over Saturday breakfast. What on earth was Bernie Ecclestone thinking of when he shared his repulsive thoughts with us? This puts him in the same ballpark as the likes of David Irving and Combat 18. Just be grateful, Ecclestone, that you live in a pluralist democracy where people can express their views and not be incarcerated without trial in a concentration camp because that's what often happens in one-party states.

  2. I was always under the impression B. Ecclestone was Jewish himself, which would have put a somewhat different spin on this story. However, I am wrong. Or I am 94% wrong. See http://www.thejc.com/articles/how-jewish-bernie-ecclestone

    I speak as one who is 51% Jewish.
