Is It 1936 ?

Post by Oscar Namechange »

Only this chap thought so last night at the Olympic opening ceremony as the German team entered the stadium.

What made us laugh was that Prince Charles and Camilla had a fit of giggles over It.

Watch the slow motion replay and who's behind him.... Boris puts his hand over his mouth In horror and Camilla can't believe her eyes.... priceless !!!

Their reaction IS funny.

But, that is NOT the Nazi Salute.

That is just a wave.

I'm not the only one who thought It was a Nazi salute. If he was waving then why was Boris and Camilla so horrified? You don't react like that If someone Is merely waving In front of you.

Man seems to use Nazi salute to greet German Olympic athletes at opening ceremony  - NY Daily News

As for the link you posted... didn't we do this over a year ago? He was a little twat who had far too many sherbets and thought he'd act big at a gig. He was Immediately expelled from the BNP by Nick Griffin himself for bringing shame on the Illustrious Party.

Well, perhaps, if you were behind in their seats, and can't tell right from left, (A fairly common malady in the West these days) then, yes, it might be mistaken for the aforementioned salute.

But then, someone viewing the film obviously did think what the chap is doing is the Nazi Salute.

It could even be that Boris and Camilla were viewing something off camera, and reacting to something entirely different than this fellow.

All I can say for a certainty is that what this guy was doing was not the Nazis' famous gesture.

What bollocks it wasn't a nazi salute. The irony being of course that the fascists have won in the end - who runs the country and are busy dismantling the NHS and all the other things the left out in place.

It didn't look like a Nazi salute to me either but it was one of the most obnoxious videos I've seen in a while.

Winston Churchill said " When Fascism returns to England, It will be In the form of anti- fascism" but then what did he know ( roll eyes).
