Fukin stupid if you ask me. People are dying, drowning, starving all over the globe, and all the British press are concerned about is a poxy costume a slip of a prince wears to a fancy dress party

Who gives a fuck anyway! All I care about is where the money is coming from to buy my next software update.... asides, it wasn't even the official uniform

Nah, flux, you have to remember that this is a member of the Royal Family. Thousand upon thousands have died defending this family, and they STILL collect tax money. They are more than simply figureheads. They are examples, and they have extremely large responsibilities as public figures. Harry is in line to be King. He can't do this sort of thing. There's too much money, and national honor involved. The Royal Family still owns the land, and still has the money, even though the day to day shit is run by Parliament. If Harry wants to just go and do as he pleases, he can abdicate. If he won't then he has to be responsible. Right now he's a being a fuckin idiot, and at the taxpayer's expense. Who do you think paid for his costume?

Admittedly, he apologized, but he really should have thought about it a bit more and come up with a better outfit. With all of the money and resources, as well as the amount spent on his education...well he could have sone a LOT better.

the public wasnt supposed to know about it innit... horrible as it may seem, i say thats a good display of dark humour and awareness as to his place in the society.

to be honest, in his place i woulda gone as that prince from blackadder. would have been even more fitting than a nazi uniform.

so...would it be OK to wear a US uniform from WWII? British?

because BOTH those countries killed just as many innocents as the germans did in WWII.

I agree that someone at that level should be more aware, but perhaps he WAS totally aware and was making a statement? who knows

he was just being a typical 'toff regaling in anti p.c. little prick', ... they do it all the time.

if you want, you can do a whole thing about the upper class being nazi sympathisers ...

basically, over here, this resonates on so many levels about the fascist (think they are ruling) ruling class in the uk ...

Prince Harry is still only 20 years old though. I'm not making excuses for him but when I was 20, I was an idiot. And did some stupid things that I know look back on and cringe at.

Influx, I think you need to study your history if you think the allies killed as many innocents as the nazis. Sure there were incidents where civillians were deliberately targeted, eg Dresden and the A-bombs on Japan. But in the numbers killed there were a few hundred thousand. And those were attacks on countries with which we were at war. The nazis deliberately killed about 10 million innocents. Not in acts of war, but murder of people in their own country and countries they had conquered. Murder based on racial hatred. That is what the swastika stands for and that's why it's so offensive. Harry has had the best education money can buy, paid for by us taxpayers, so he should know that. We all do stupid things when we're 20 but we're not representing our countries ruling class. If he accepts the money and priveledge then he has to accept the responsibility that goes with it.
Still, looking on the bright side, every time one of the cunts fucks up like this brings us closer to the day we'll be rid of them.

I never understood the whole royal family thing anyway. A graphic artist in a place I used to work had framed pictures of the British royal family all over and around his desk. This guy was an American. I think he visited England a couple of times and decided he'd adopt them as his own family or something. Was too funny.

Nah even if the numbers are off by a bit, which I doubt because the Nazis kept very good records,the fact remains they were disposing of people they thought were racially inferior to them.That ideology was what most of the guys fighting the Nazis were opposed to and that little prick dishonoured their sacrifice by wearing that arm band.The Brits were literally fighting for their lives against the Nazis,so that wee shit should be publicly birched for his disrespect.

Ruling Class!Suck my ASS!

It's an odd symbol the swastika,why the Germans adopted a sign that was originally ment to be peaceful I don't know, I went to China a couple of years ago and quite a lot of the Buddhas in the temples I visited had swastikas on their chests which was an odd site having previously asociated it with Nazis, I think it originated from Hinduism although it was upside down then and it was the German workers union or something like that who first used it in ze Deutchland. I was hoping the whole "Harrygate" issue would be a good reason to get rid of the whole royal family, I'm sick to death of hearing about them.

I read that the Nazi swastika is supposed to represent 4 Teuton battle axes it was also the symbol of Thor.The Nazis were intensely into their mythology and whatever you may think there is no doubt that the symbolism of Thor's symbol strong black on the pure white circle imposed on the Red background makes a very striking and direct statement,German strength and purity of race and cause dominating the red flag of communism .
Heady stuff for an embittered and impoverished German people desparate for some feeling of worth after the 1st world war and the reparations that followed .

"An ancient cosmic or religious symbol formed by a Greek cross with the ends of the arms bent at right angles in either a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction.
Such a symbol with a clockwise bend to the arms, used as the emblem of the Nazi party and of the German state under Adolf Hitler, officially adopted in 1935. "

If you look at the floor of the York minster (and I'm sure many others too) you will see that it is covered in reverse swastikas. I think it is a very popular symbol, historically.

it's kinda wierd - if you check the genocide and destruction weilded for a thousand years by the Christian Cross, nowadays christians say "Oh the church & christians have changed, that was the past"

i wonder what those same people think of the 're-branding' of the KKK

or if the nazi party arrived on your doorstep on a sunday morning giving away freebies and saying "we changed!"

lol

time changes things in odd ways.
