A French prosecutor today demanded the maximum fine possible for an Oxford graduate who wore a Nazi uniform at a stag night partly organised by Tory MP Aidan Burley. Mark Fournier, 36, is accused of a dressing up as an SS officer at a restaurant in the upmarket ski resort of Val Thorens. Mr Burley, the 34-year-old MP for Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, was with 12 friends, some of whom chanted ‘Hitler, Hitler, Hitler’. One even toasted the ‘Third Reich’. Fournier, who was prosecuted for wearing a uniform of an organisation found guilty of crimes against humanity…something which is illegal in France.

Sorry, I don’t get it? Followers of my blog will know I possess an acute sense of humour. Now I can understand dressing up as…say Benny Hill, who brought laughter and joy to millions of people and who didn’t harm anyone, but dressing up as a Nazi? I appreciate it was a long time ago, but Nazis started a World War in which 100milllion people died. Had the fascists won the war, they probably would have slaughtered at least another 100million. In fact, some of you reading this blog, wouldn’t be alive to read it were the Nazis victorious. Many more would currently be slaves. Hey, I certainly wouldn’t be around to write  my blog! Other than misguided white supremacists, I cannot understand why anyone would want to wear an SS officer’s uniform? Anyway, why celebrate Nazism in the first place? Unlike the Roman Empire that lasted over a thousand years, Hitler and his co-conspirators only tasted absolute power for nine years…1936-1945!
