“A high-flying Tory MP was forced to apologise for ‘clearly inappropriate behaviour’ last night after he attended a party where guests, one dressed in an SS uniform, chanted offensive Nazi slogans in a crowded restaurant at a French ski resort.
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, 32, a senior aide to Transport Secretary Justine Greening, was filmed in a mountain restaurant during a stag do, sitting next to another party goer dressed in a black SS uniform and cap.”
The MP for Cannock Chase hasn’t exactly been a stranger to controversy. Political Scrapbook covered one of his university experiences last month, when they reported on his “elitist dining club” and their trip to Stringfellows.
