    Sir David Jason has attacked the Germans, claiming that they want to run Europe.
    The well-loved actor, 71, famous for playing Del Boy in BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses between 1981 and 2003, was born in Edmonton, north London, during the Blitz and was too young to be evacuated so, as a baby, he had to stay at home with his mother whilst his neighbourhood was being bombed.

    Sir David has claimed that the EU is "the Fourth Reich" and claimed that Britain is becoming "a satellite of Europe."

    His outburst came after a poll put the Conservatives six per cent ahead of Labour after the Prime Minister David Cameron took a hardline stance over the Eurozone treaty last week.


    He made the comments in an interview for yesterday's Mail on Sunday's "Live" magazine.

    He added: "The irony is that here we are, the world has changed, and the Germans want to run Europe.
    "They failed to do it by war, twice.
    "What is it?
    "Is this the Fourth Reich?"
    He was described as grinning and continuing: "I just said it.
    "I'm only reflecting what's been going on in the country for some time.
    "We have more and more rules coming out of Europe telling us what to do, and I think people are getting a bit fed up with it.
    "This was supposed to be a common market.
    "I don't remember them ever saying we would be governed by Brussels and become a satellite of Europe.
    "But there you are.
    "At least we're not throwing bombs at each other."
