A Tory student group has apologised after leaked footage showed them dancing to a Nazi marching song.

The Warwick University Conservative Association asked the DJ at a gathering following their annual “chairman’s dinner” to play Erika, a song composed in 1938 by Nazi soldier Herms Niel.

In a leaked video published by The Times, students can be seen dancing and laughing to the song before one member spots the camera and says: “Don’t film!”

The students are also accused of chanting “Kill the Hughs” – substituting the word “Jews” for the name of their outgoing association chairman Hugh Herring.

Reports suggest they also said: “Heil the chairman”.

      Wild. UK folks have people who cosplay as Nazis and have the apologize.

      Only following the example set by the Royal Family.

      Here in the States, we give them government platforms and call it free speech. Some even march in the streets unafraid.

      We do have our own Nazi problem, they killed an MP. However, most of the prominent groups are now banned.
