    Hitler was considered a joke figure back then. Charlie chaplin's twin brother.

    Maybe then people those people who considered him a joke figure should have taken him more seriously, given what he went on to do.

    it must be a slow news day .I wonder how long the sun have had that picture .
    What do the Sun think should happen to Liz , arrest her ,force her to abdicate and make way for charlie and the camel .


    I think its in very bad taste to have published it, some 70+ years after the event, particularly given she was a child at the time. Now, if she does it again anytime soon, then that would be news.

    I think the sun has stooped particularly low to sell news papers with this one.

    I would like the sun to do a really interesting royal story ,something like who is Prince Andrews father .

    Who cares, what does it matter and what would it prove?

    it would prove Phil the greek is or is not Andy's dad .it might prove Lord Porchester or someone else to be the father .
    It might also reveal why after Andys birth files where sealed for 100 years .

    I've just googled the above and results are a picture of prince Philip with a black eye and Jimmy savile meeting ballycastle's favourite ex Cardinal.
    Then I realised I didn't care, really.

    I buy no newspapers, read online and only if free.

    Yea, but the trouble is you end up reading the guardian, and then you're convinced ed milliband is going to be prime minister. That's what happened to me.

    So get ready for next pm, Jeremy corbyn.

    Neither the Daily Telegraph nor Belfast Telegraph are free to read on line. You have to have a subscription to the DT and the BT has a free trial period of 7 days after which you have to pay.

    I seem to get into the bt site quite easily. Perhaps it's because I get so bored by the rubbish journalism and their thinly veiled advertisements masquerading as news items, and therefore give up reading it for a few days quite often. Am I welcomed back?

    I don't see the mail and express as proper news papers. The sun is at least funny.

    I have gone to the Belfast Telegraph site and been able to read it. In fact I was looking at the death notices the other month, for when a funeral was taking place.
