United Kingdom Independence Party's (UKIP) Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Bill Etheridge praised the Nazi leader Hitler for his public speaking skills at a training session.
According to the Daily Star, he said that the 'monster' possessed magnetic powers and achieved a lot through his speaking skills.
Etheridge spoke at a training session at the Young Independence Conference in Birmingham.
He told the group that when Hitler gave speeches, there used to be complete silence and people used to be desperate for him to speak.
Etheridge was earlier suspended from his former party after posting a picture with golliwog doll on Facebook in 2011.
The 44-year old said in statement that he was not favouring or supporting Hitler but merely discussing public speaking techniques.
