Is Hitler 'Cool'?

West Midlands Ambulance service wants to know.

Quote:

Some West Midlands Ambulance Service staff contacted their union after being asked if they thought Adolf Hitler was a "cool" leader in an NHS survey.

Unison said it had received complaints from a few members who found the question inappropriate.

And the best part:

Quote:

The survey is one part of a Â£10,000 year-long study funded by the Strategic Health Authority.

Yes, that's Â£10,000 of our NI contributions being diverted from cancer suffers to find out whether Hitler was a cool leader or not.

In all fairness. it's not as bad as it sounds. Hitler was just one name on the list.

Re: Is Hitler 'Cool'?

Even when you look at the list with the other "choices" for are they cool, I still don't see the point of what "supposed coolness" has to do with picking a good leader.
Surely everybodies definition of who or what is cool is going to be very different, savings can certainly be made in the NHS if this is the standard of people polling going on.

I would say Hitler is very cool by now, it's been over 60 years since he was cremated, the ashes must be cool by now.

Re: Is Hitler 'Cool'?

Hitler was a political leader who promoted the hatred of certain sections of his society and implemented as much control over the people as he could get away with.

Seems pretty contemporary to me.

So, yes, Hitler is cool. A man before his time even.

He's very cool, especially when he's playing the keyboard.

Re: Is Hitler 'Cool'?

As a leader of the German people he was cool. Not many leaders get the people of the country to follow them so fanatically. Ok he was insane and a megalomaniac but you only have to see some of his pre war rallies to see as a leader he was cool as a human being he certainly was not
