I can only add that while Jespersen is not (perhaps) leading this glorious march he certainly seems to be an eager participant in it. Regards, Inna There is context and then there is context.

I can only add that while Jespersen is not (perhaps) leading this glorious march he certainly seems to be an eager participant in it.

Even if you don't understand Dutch, you can have a look at the video "Cancelled dish". It features a healthy and radiant Anne Frank preparing a meal and images reminiscent of Jews being taken away by Nazis - just for laughs - and of course the cooking of Hitler's supposedly favourite Bavarian dish: trout in butter sauce. Did you hear the joke about the "semitic lobby" ? The entertainer joked that the cooking show [Hitler's favourite dish] was cancelled due to "massive pressure exerted by Semites" and that Jews had over-reacted to a programme involving a "harmless dish cooked in a gas oven". http://philosemitism.blogspot.com/2008/11/belgium-hitler-favourite-dish-tv-show.html Another joke:
