    A Conservative MP apologised today after reports he attended a stag party with Nazi overtones.

    Aidan Burley used Twitter to reveal his “deep regret” at the “inappropriate behaviour” at last weekend’s bash in a French ski resort.

    The Cannock Chase MP was eating and drinking with 12 friends, some of whom chanted “Hitler, Hitler, Hitler”, according to the Mail on Sunday.

    One toasted the “Third Reich” and another allegedly taunted a waiter for being French, the paper said.

    Mr Burley tweeted today: “Deeply regret inappropriate behaviour by some guests at stag party I attended and I am extremely sorry for any offence that was caused.”

    Today’s article claimed that rising star Mr Burley, a senior aide to transport secretary Justine Greening, was filmed at a restaurant in Val Thorens, sitting next to another party goer dressed in a black SS uniform and cap.

    The newspaper quoted a French police spokesman as saying an investigation could be launched.

    “Anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi crimes are taken extremely seriously in France. Anyone suspected of breaking the law in this respect can and will be prosecuted," the spokesman added.

    What kind of circles do is this guy running in that he even ended up at this? Pretty disgusting

    The Fail being anti-nazi??
    Lord Rothermere was a friend and supporter of both Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, which influenced the Mail's political stance towards them during the 1930s.[26][27] Rothermere's 1933 leader "Youth Triumphant" praised the new Nazi regime's accomplishments, and was subsequently used as propaganda by them.[28]

    It is a big deal if you're a public official.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,350 ✭✭✭gigino


    so he is in trouble - and you start this thread - because he was at a stag party where someone else dressed up ?

    Is that all you have to worry about in the world ? Have you ever been to a stag party where someone acted inappropiately ?

    In fairness the Mail only reported it - didn't moralise.

    Not that inappropriately no, and I would find it offensive if I was at one

    Plus what makes it worse is the fact that he's an elected official

    But the article didn't say it was the MP that taunted the French man.

    In fact, he hasn't actually been accused of doing anything other than being in attendance at a party.

    I didn't say that either - my second sentence was about the story in general, not the taunting of the French guy, which would be funny on its own but that wasn't the full sentence.

    I know he was only present at it, but it could affect his reputation that he hangs around with those guys.

    the man did nothing wrong.

    If I was held accountable for the actions of people I partied with i'd be in jail

    anyway drunken nazi rambling is very minor with all the ****e we have in the world.
    Man gets drunk and let's on to be a nazi and abuse waiter - well **** me - I've better things to cry over.

    Am I the only one who is thinking that the only people who should be offended by a load of drunken English conservatives shouting Hitler would be actual Fascists/Hitler supporters?

    If so, why is the Mail on Sunday supporting the interests of Fascists and Nazis, thats what I want to know!
