Brand ‘thrown out of party’ after Nazi jibe

The comic, who picked up a gong at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, criticised the German firm, who sponsored the show, for making uniforms for Hitler’s regime.

He told the audience the magazine’s initials stood for “genocide quips”, adding: “I mention that only to make the next comment a bit lighter because if any of you know a little bit about history and fashion, you’ll know Hugo Boss made the uniforms for the Nazis.

“But they did look f****** fantastic, lets face it, while they were killing people on the basis of their religion and sexuality.”

Brand, who ended his speech by telling Noel Gallagher, another of the winners on the night, “Good luck getting more offensive than that, son”, was reportedly kicked out of the aftershow party in central London.
