Not sure comparing Putin to Hitler (however it was intentioned) was the wisest move

[Burney]

so bad form on the Labour tosser who first said it, and also Borris for then repeating it

Pointing out that tyrants have form for using major sporting events for propaganda purposes is hardly unacceptable, is it?

Besides, it's pretty funny to watch the same people who've been calling anyone to the right of Jeremy Corbyn 'Nazis' for the last few years start clutching their pearls because someone draws a valid historical parallel.

I'm sorry, you are completely wrong on this, there is no defence for either politician to have used that reference

Why the fvck not? Hitler (well, Goebbels) basically wrote the book on using major sporting events as a propaganda platform. It's obvious that Putin will do the same. Given which, it would be weird to make that point without mentioning the 1936 Olympics.

So IF Israel ever did anything like this, would anyone dare to compare it to what Germany did in '36? No, didn't think so

The left never stops comparing Israel to the Nazis. Its pretty much their go-to insult.

Besides, Israel is a parliamentary democracy and not a police state run by a tyrannical autocrat.

Funny that you made it into a left bashing comment? Who'd have thought it

It isnt a valid historical parallel and is thoroughly irresponsible for a chap who is supposed to oversee our diplomacy. Thoroughly undiplomatic and this is going to be incredibly offensive to Russian people. More **** stirring from a government massively out of its depth.

You and me can say it,a foreign secretary cannot. This is what you get when you give an amiable buffoon a potentially significant job.

The Russians are meant to find it offensive.

Fvck the Russian people.

Have you ever met a Russian, p? It's hard to offend a Russian, given that they are the thickest-skinned of all the barbarians, and they're generally far too pissed to hear what you've said anyway.
