'A toast to the Third Reich!' Oxford-educated louts 'face prosecution' for dressing as Nazi and taunting French waiter... while Tory MP looked on

Friends of a high-flying Tory MP are 'facing prosecution' for chanting offensive Nazi slogans in a crowded restaurant at a French ski resort - where one of the party dressed in an SS uniform.


Aidan Burley, MP for Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, was with 12 friends, some of whom chanted ‘Hitler, Hitler, Hitler’. One toasted the ‘Third Reich’ and one taunted a waiter for being French.

Mr Burley has since apologised for the 'clearly inappropriate behaviour', but members of his party now face prosecution after it was revealed examining judges were set to look at video footage of the incident.


This is because under the French penal code it is a crime, unless required for a film, a play or a historical exhibition, to wear or exhibit in public anything reminiscent of what was worn or used by the Nazis.      More
