Oops, sorry son!

Can't see the problem. Most of these chatty shows are a complete unnecessary reference.
Gaining a little sense of humour wouldn't hurt some presenters.

OG I was under the impression that they found it amusing

[TheDevil]

I did adore Boris in the JCB (referenced in the Stanley interview). Much better stunt than that bloody bus!

//“Can you imagine a father who would not be proud if his son became prime minister? What kind of a guy would he be?

“Of course if his son was called Adolf, that would be different."//

And the problem with that is ...what?

[mushroom25]

//At the time I'm sure Hitlers father (i'm not sure on Hitler history, or if his dad was still alive etc..) was rather proud. //

Hitler's father, Alois, died in 1903 when Hitler was 14. Father and son did not get on, Alois was not keen on young Adolf pursuing his dream of being an artist.

So Hitler had daddy issues...

Nothing to see here.....move along.....

[mushroom25]

anyway TD. you've compared or contrasted Stanley's hitler comments against positive comments; nor have you compared or contrasted it against inappropriate remarks made by Mr Corbyn's relatives. so by your own yardstick, doesn't that make this thread irrelevant?

[TheDevil]

Mushroom ,I've no idea how you came to that conclusion.

A thread highlighting a piece of news about the PM's dad doesn't need interference from Corbyn.

I would have thought if anybody objected to using Hitler in a derogatory manner, it would be Momentum given their hatred of Jews.

Well , isn't Boris's Father a bit of a free loader Also.
