Ecclestone en Times, sobre Hitler

Parece un mal chiste: Hitler? He got things done, says Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone Sí, en todo el mundo -también entre los británicos- quedan admiradores del nacional socialismo.

Bernie Ecclestone, el jefe de la Fórmula 1, de 78 años lo dice ayer en entrevista al británico Times (link en el párrafo anterior). Cito:

Bernie Ecclestone, the Formula One chief, said yesterday that he preferred totalitarian regimes to democracies and praised Adolf Hitler for his ability to “get things done”.

In an outspoken interview with The Times, the 78-year-old billionaire chastised contemporary politicians for their weakness and extolled the virtues of strong leadership.

Mr Ecclestone said: “In a lot of ways, terrible to say this I suppose, but apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done.

“In the end he got lost, so he wasn’t a very good dictator because either he had all these things and knew what was going on and insisted, or he just went along with it . . . so either way he wasn’t a dictator.” He also rounded on democracy, claiming that “it hasn’t done a lot of good for many countries — including this one [Britain]”.

Ecclestone es amigo de Max Mosley, el de la orgía sexual perversa con prostitutas con uniformes nazis, que debería haberle costado el puesto y dice sobre él -dejemos a la Thatcher afuera, por favor-:

Claiming he likes “strong leaders”, such as Margaret Thatcher, Mr Ecclestone suggested that Max Mosley, his close friend, the president of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), would make a good Prime Minister.

Mr Mosley, the son of Sir Oswald Mosley, the leader of the British Union of Fascists, was recently accused by Formula One racing teams of being a “dictator”.

Mr Ecclestone said: “I prefer strong leaders. Margaret Thatcher made decisions on the run and got the job done. She was the one who built this country up slowly. We’ve let it go down again. All these guys, Gordon and Tony, are trying to please everybody all the time.

“Max would do a super job. He’s a good leader with people. I don’t think his background would be a problem.”

Claro, todos estos viejos son unos déspotas y piensan que ser líder es comandar a todos los demás e imponer su voluntad como sea. Hay, lamentablemente muchos así.

Hago mías estas palabras: Stephen Pollard, Editor of the Jewish Chronicle, said: “Mr Ecclestone is either an idiot or morally repulsive. Either he has no idea how stupid and offensive his views are or he does and deserves to be held in contempt by all decent people.”

(...) “If Mr Ecclestone seriously thinks Hitler had to be persuaded to kill six million Jews, invade every European country and bomb London then he knows neither history and shows a complete lack of judgment.”

Para qué les cuento que, en Alemania, estas palabras de un british -y jefe de la muy importante F1- han despertado rechazo.

Los alemanes saben muy bien que ni a Hitler lo "persuadieron" de matar a seis millones de personas, de empezar una guerra con... ¿cuántos son los millones de muertes durante la II Guerra? Ni a Hitler, ni a los nacional socialistas...

No, este viejo multimillonario no es un líder, ni sabe "guiar" a nadie, debiera renunciar cuanto antes, porque es indigno de ser un alto jefe deportivo, al igual que Mosley.
