FORMULA ONE chief Bernie Ecclestone has sparked outrage after praising Hitler’s ability to “get things done”.

The outspoken billionaire also slammed today’s politicians for being weak and declared Britain was wrong to help overthrow Saddam Hussein. He claimed democracy had done nothing for Britain and we would be better off with a government based on tyranny.

He said: “In a lot of ways – terrible to say this I suppose – but apart from the fact that Hitler got 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.

“All these guys – Gordon and Tony – are trying to please everybody all the time.”

He claimed democracy was a failure, saying: “It hasn’t done a lot of good for many countries – including this one.”

He also claimed close friend Max Mosley would do a better job as prime minister.

Motorsport boss Mosley – son of Sir Oswald Mosley who headed up the British Union of Fascists – was recently accused of being a dictator by F1 racing teams. ..more reminiscing
