Boris Johnson said that Putin will use the World Cup in the same say that Hitler used the Olympics, ie: for propaganda purposes. And he's not the only one thinking it. I've had this self-same conversation with someone just recently. I'm sure most people will be able to understand the comparison Boris was making.

Yeah this has been widely misreported as Boris saying it, he didn't, he said the Labour guy who said was probably right. Even so it is probably right, Putin is going to use it as a propaganda tool.

We were there in 36, we won gold in the ice hockey... Our football team were in Germany in 38 for the cup final... nazi salutes all round



'Here is the English football team giving the Nazi salute to Germany in 1938. While Jewish, disabled, sick, and elderly Germans were being sent to concentration and death camps, it was business as usual as far as the UK establishment was concerned.'

No talk of boycotting the event though?...

I think Jess Owens is the most important and memorable thing about the Nazi Olympics.

Because more than two million Soviet Jews are believed to have died during the Holocaust and in warfare against the Nazi's and over six million Russian soldiers were killed fighting the Germans.

Ok, but what has that to do with the Propaganda comparison using a world watched sporting event?
