Bernie Ecclestone says he would ‘take a bullet’ for ‘first class’ Vladimir Putin as he defends war in Ukraine

  1. “Unfortunately he’s like a lot of business people, certainly like me, that we make mistakes from time to time and when you make the mistake, you have to do the best you can to get out of it,” the 91-year-old said.

    I wonder how many thousands of people Bernie’s mistakes in business have killed.

  2. Bernie, no? Surely not? Not the dude who was good friends with Oswald Mosley’s son Max and said he’d do a *’super job*’ as Prime Minster. The dude who avoided Tax and paid a settlement out for Bribery accusations. I just can’t see it, best friends with a Fascist’s son, doesn’t like paying taxes, bribes people and for some reason he loves an authoritarian who doesn’t pay taxes and bribes people.

  3. What a surprise — another aging oligarch who turns out to be completely morally bankrupt, and more loyal to Russia than to his own country.

  4. I love the way that part of the interview was so shocking that no one is speaking about him dismissing the n word as “British sense of humour” and refusing to call out or condemn racism.

    It’s not so much a dead cat but a nuclear bomb

  5. Very much the case with a lot of people with too much money. It doesn’t matter it is just the little people.

  6. When is he volunteering to join the conscripts in Ukraine then? Plenty of NATO bullets available Bernie, off you go.

  7. The weirdest thing here, is not that Bernie Ecclestone is a mad racist Putin fanboy, but that GMB thought it was a great idea to get him on TV and let him speak utter bullshit for 5 mins.

  8. “They didn’t get involved in this in the first place. They shouldn’t be punished.”

    Nor should the daily shelled Ukrainian civilians including the hundreds of dead children, yet here we are, you old buffoon…

  9. Conspicuously absent from the article are his comments on the Piquet being a wild racist issue… which amounted to ‘he’s apologised, and Hamilton just needs to get over it’

    What a piece of work

  10. “Unfortunately he’s like a lot of business people, certainly like me,”

    That doesn’t mean he’s first class.

    It just means you’re all psychocunts.
