Yes the singer, who had to cancel his tour earlier this year because he thought he was a taxi driver taking passengers to Elephant and Castle after his heart stopped due to er, 'poisining', was performing in Munich last night when he began warbling 'Deutschland, Deutschland über alles'. Which was used as the national anthem under the Third Reich. Oops.
Doherty, who was a surprise guest at the music festival, was also being broadcast live on Bavarian radio but was swiftly cut as soon as he began singing. And the opening verse of the anthem has not been sung since the Second World War because of its association with the Nazis. The first set of lyrics translates as, “Germany, Germany above anything/Above everything in the world”.
But Pete immediately apologised for his mistake, unaware of the controversy or offence it would cause. (Nazis? Controversy? Offence??) This is the second time that Doherty has found himself in trouble for Nazi-themed songs. A track from The Libertines self-titled album features a song called ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’, which was a slogan used above the entrances of the Nazi concentration camps.
Anyway, never mind all that run for your lives! The man has mistletoe...

Oh he was probably just being rougeish or witty or ironic or post-modern or something.
He needs to be more concerned about what's happened to his fizzog. His face his morphing into his neck. Did he tick the 'chin - optional' box?
Give him another 6 months and the transformation will be complete
When oh when will people finally stop pretending that this fucktard has any talent and just admit that he has always been, and will always be, a worthless, talentless junkie shitstain who needs to fuck off and preferably also die very quickly.
can you please hurry up with the pics of peaches geldof in her under crackers.
Woah, woah, WOAH ! Let's not say things we can't take back eh....
too late.
You just made the list.....
It wasn't any nazi Germany connotations that was the problem (they go nuts for Joy Division and New Order) it was probably the fact he is such a disgusting looking little cretin. And since when did a fat pasty faced junkie version of Sylvestor McCoy ever deserve anything. Except perhaps a gas chamber.
Well, they have 'showers' in prison. We can but hope.
Is the guy on the right of picture five doing some kind of retro 30s/40s Germanic greeting? It's the only explanation for his arm's elevation. He can't possibly be ... reaching towards.... the skanky twat?
Thats a bit precious from Gerry. They came up with the whole fucking Nazi idea anyway.
Someone call supernanny and make them lie in bed.. Cunts
Isn't the naughty step good enough? As in really high leg marching. Or was that the Russians? Shit. Same old, same old though. So no matter. Both wanted Poland.
Aye probably both needed some cheap building work done !
No-one complains about "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" Oh that's right Saint fucking Humph and the 60's bumboys cant put a foot wrong with their carefully scripted spontaneity.
Jack Dee is vast improvement only half the dead wood left to cull.
Has someone spiked my orange juice?
Second most surrealist comment of the day.
For number 1 see corner entry titled "Hairy Arseholes"
They have a point though...
Do they ? if so please explain (remember small words & big pictures) I don't get it ?
They don't really. Just thought I'd make you feel a frisson of worry there.
Your mission was a success then, I felt truly frissioned !
I just wish he'd tie his fucking shoelaces.
I just wish he'd fucking OD
I'd have to echo this sentiment.
Him and that other dense drugfucked fuckwit Amy Shitehouse turning up toes up in a bin in Camden would make my Chrimbo, so it would.
