Bryan Ferry Sorry For Liking Nazis
Then buzz it up

Sometimes its all too easy to say the wrong thing. And oh so embarrassing.
You know - like when you sometimes say "you too" when a waiter says "enjoy your meal." Or when you say "hello, mate" to someone in the street who you think you recognise, only for them to turn out to be a total stranger.
Or - like pop star Bryan Ferry - when you say that you thought the Nazis were a grade-A bunch of show-stoppers who really knew how to create something "beautiful."
What do you mean, that's never happened to you? Yeah, right.
Bryan Ferry apparently made the comments when speaking to a German magazine, when he claimed that Hitler and his wacky bunch of mass-murderers:
" … knew how to put themselves in the limelight and present themselves… I'm talking about the films of Leni Riefenstahl and the buildings of Albert Speer and the mass marches and the flags. Just amazing - really beautiful."
After the inevitable backlash from, well, pretty much everyone, Ferry has swiftly issued a grovelling apology:
"I apologise unreservedly for any offence caused by my comments on Nazi iconography, which were solely made from an art history perspective. I, like every right-minded individual, find the Nazi regime, and all it stood for, evil and abhorrent."
This immediate sorry-saying seems to have pacified some of Bryan Ferry's critics, with the leader of a British Jewish Organisation claiming that he is 'glad' that the Bryster has realised how thoroughly idiotic his comments were. It looks, then - unlike a good number of other celebs - that his ill-informed comments may not prove to be any sort of detriment to his future career. So fear not. You'll still be able to pick up those old Roxy Music CDs without a picket line from the Anti Fascist League following you around.
Now if only he could apologise for having a fox-hunting twat as a son, that'd be even better.

For fucks sake Brian,You’ve gone way down in my estimation, you may as well have praised the quality of the brickwork on Dachaus’ chimneys.

He’s right actually, Leni Riefenstahl films and Albert Speer architecture are kinda cool.

It’s a shame Ferry,[who I have enormous admiration for] didn’t stick to his guns,but then I suppose “celebrities” have to “play” the game, don’t they? He is as entitled to his opinion as the next person and to me,should have stuck to it.
I recently sat through a four hour presentation which examined in detail the widely accepted claims surrounding the alleged “holocaust”. Even though [I believe],it’s now an offence to deny it,I have to say that if one takes the time to examine the “evidence” presented in support of the allegations, you will find considerable doubt as to the truthfullness of the claims made. Why do I say this? For many reasons. I went to Belsen on 3 occasions and couldn’t help but view with suspicion the claims made about the history of the site. An example or two for any enquiring minds out there, why was there[and its still there!] a swimming pool at Auschwitz, why did the Germans give thir “victims” haircuts before they gassed them?We’re told it was to fill mattresses with! Utter rubbish, and its now milked to death[no pun] by every whining Jew as the ultimate defence for anything and everthing. Even the accepted official refences are full of holes and contradictions. The TRUTH is crucially important,if you believe the official widely held beliefs then at least research them so that you do know what you’re talking about.Then tell me how the equivalant of the population of San Fransisco was buried in such a small area. It’s simply not possible. Explain to me why there is no trace of poison at Auschwitz.[Samples were taken"].Explain to me the assertion that in order to destroy evidence, the Germans dug up and destroyed the bones of the dead with HAND HELD HAMMERS! I refer to hundreds of thousands of corpses. The truth is out there. I have no political leaning, and I’m ex British Forces. Oh, and there’s no money in this for me either.

Is Peter related to the bankrupt holocaust denying,nazi cheerleader David Irving? As far as reading books go,I’m in the middle of the “Works Escorts” Volume 4,by Graham Robson,a well respected motoring journalist known for his ability to write truthfully. Unlike that cunt Irving who got jailed. “Vergassungkeller M’lord? they don’t gas people to death there M’lord! They only store acetylene gas there! Now fuck off Peter,and you go read something educational….

When you realise that the state of Israel was set up in the aftermath of the war, it was politically expedious to exaggerate the holocaust in order to, in some way, excuse the crimes going on in Palestine.
It’s no secret Hitler didn’t like jews, but chances are the concentration camps were just Work camps, not Death camps.
Doesn’t necessary make it much better, as it could mean the same thing.
But any evidence of delousing chambers being used for mass scale gassing is very dubious..
It would be interesting to know the truth, compared as to the exaggerations.
Unfortunately no serious research can be done because of the laws. Which does make it seems as though there is something to hide..
