Ecclestone endorses tyrannies

The billionaire and Formula I Chief has recognised in an interview his devotion for "strong leaders" and that Hitler was good at getting things done:
apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done.
“In the end he got lost, so he wasn’t a very good dictator because either he had all these things and knew what was going on and insisted, or he just went along with it . . . so either way he wasn’t a dictator.” He also rounded on democracy, claiming that “it hasn’t done a lot of good for many countries — including this one [Britain]”.

Napoleon or Stalin? I didn’t know either of those guys, to be honest 
 Impressive!
