The guy who does the Sky at Night on the bbc.

Is he out of order here?

'The only good Kraut is a dead Kraut'

"if I saw the entire German nation sinking into the sea, I could be relied upon to help push it down."

I understand there's grieving and living with a lost relative (lost his wife in a Nazi bombing) and maybe thats his way with coping with it, but its still a bit pathetic.

I'm sure there are plenty of Irish people who think the same way about English people, I know I live up in the north and know some people judge me on my English accent and think twice about me, older people mainly, not younger.

Do you hold angst against any one particular nation?? Do hold those feelings towards protestants from the north or British people (or French people or German people?)

I know some Irish people still haven't gotten over Thierry Henry's handball, refuse to go on holiday there etc.

And they are complete clowns. As Roy keane said, get over it!

He's spot on.

Not necessarily because he's right, but because he's a fcuking legend.

A lot of germany were either unborn or very young at the time of himselfs European adventure. it's not really fair, tbh.

It's as bad as those american muppets that were cheering the tidal wave on Japan because of pearl harbour.

Duckworth_Luas · 01-05-2012 05:07PM

Wait until he finds out about the Nazi bases on his precious Moon.

tenandtracer · 01-05-2012 05:08PM

His pants are a bit snug under the oxters:)

I think it's fairly understandable for him to hate the germans if he feels they're responsible for his wife's death. It was the same with Kirk when a Klingon killed his son. The only way Moore is going to get over it is if he's sent to a frozen prison planet, escapes and saves the life of the President of Earth, thereby ensuring a peace treaty between the Klingons and the Federation.

So, here's hoping.

Ah Sir Patrick Moore, you eccentric old git.

The only man personally affected by the war.

This is what immediately popped into my head:

Go to 1'38"

He's the Gamesmaster. He can say what he wants.

Morlar · 01-05-2012 05:14PM

Dirk Bogarde was the same, only without the dead fiancee. I believe he even refused to travel in the same elevator as a German.

Kahn killed his son ! As this evidence proves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRnSnfiUI54

If he posted his views on here he'd be banned.

Icepick · 01-05-2012 05:19PM

Just goes to show that you can be both intelligent and a moron.

My name is URL · 01-05-2012 05:21PM

Some of his other views on politics etc are fairly eh.. well, fcuked up too. He once appeared on Room 101 and one of the things he 'banished' was female news readers

prinz · 01-05-2012 05:22PM

I understand the personal pain he has and to some degree it's understandable.... but what a c*ntish thing to say... "if I saw the entire German nation sinking into the sea, I could be relied upon to help push it down."... don't worry about it SIR Patrick Moore, there's plenty the world over more than willing to return the favour to the UK if the circumstances were similar.

Ellis Dee · 01-05-2012 05:23PM

I suspect he's gone ga-ga. Not so long ago he was bitching about the number of women and especially non-white ones who had jobs with the BBC.:rolleyes:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-453392/How-women-ruining-BBC-Sir-Patrick-Moore.html

Not that it matters really. The way the old coot mutters, you'd think he had a mouthful of shite - and he was the one who complained about those (dusky-skinned) women newsreaders not being able to speak "the Queen's English".:D:D

ejmaztec · 01-05-2012 05:24PM

It must be something to do with him falling 50,000 feet and landing on his head after he opened what he thought was the door to the sh1tter on a Lancaster bomber in 1944.

Like David Cameron. Sans monocle.

I once got short changed by a shop keeper.
This left me with no change for the bus to go home.
I had to walk 3 miles. 3 MILES!!!
It rained a little too and I got slightly wet.
I got a mild head cold because of it.

I wish death on all shopkeepers.

:rolleyes:

Thrill · 01-05-2012 05:28PM

Poor old git. We all have our pet hates. His just happens to be the entire population of Germany.

And that would be equally wrong.

Like I say no one should ever judge anyone by nationality.

Poor old buggers lost it!

That'll teach you to count your change next time your mammy sends you out to the shop

Born to Die · 01-05-2012 05:39PM

Why is it non PC to hold a hatred for something beyond a certain time? Is there a time limit on emotion. I have hated an individual for 30 years and will continue to until I die.

Raging_Ninja · 01-05-2012 05:39PM

Its his right. The germans ruined his life by killing the woman he loved on the orders of a maniac.

He's also not the only one - Senator John McCain has a fairly healthy lack of respect against Vietnam seeing as he was a guest in one of their torture centers.

Its not 'pathetic' to feel these things, since after all these people have very good reasons for their feelings.
