We'll be having more on Bernie Ecclestone's Hitler interview later today - watch the JC site.

But in the meanwhile, I had a bizarre conversation yesterday with a Today programme producer, who wanted me to go on this morning to talk about it. 'What aspect?', I asked. 'How it will have gone down with inflential Jews who support F1', the woman replied.

'What do you mean 'influential Jews'?' I asked. 'Ummm - those with lots of money who support F1'. 'Can you tell me which ones you are referring to?', I replied. 'Ummm, Philip Green? I assume he must be involved'. The conversation went on in similar vein.

In other words, they didn't have a clue if any Jews were involved in F1 but assumed there must be lots of 'influential Jews' who must be, because, well, they are Jews. And they'd pull the plug now because, well...they are Jews. 

I declined the opportunity to go on Today. As an influential Jew.
