Prince Harry the Nazi...

I really don't care Vienna. If Harry wants to wear a Nazi arm band at a private fancy dress party that's his business. It matters not one jot what you or I think about it or how many second generation Aushwitz jews there are in the country.

You only condone it if it is considered an offense.

Anyway - The more I hear about Harry the more I like him!

It does matter because this is a representative of the British state, days before the anniversary of Auschwitz, making light of the actions of the Nazi party, namely genocide.

Me too. I think Harry should be king. He's a real "bloke"; William seems a bit of a pansy by comparison.

Well, why not lobby your MP to make some laws regarding what we can or cannot wear when we go to a fancy dress party? I'm sure you'll find a lot of support amongst the Ken Livingstones of the world.

It was a fancy dress party.
It may have been badly timed, but I'm sure he didn't go there with the intent of offending people.
If he did, then there'd be a problem.

Yes but that rationale can be used to excuse pretty much anything at all. He didn't "mean" to cause offence, I will go as far as to accept that. But some things are just not done and making a joke out of the death of millions of innocent people is one of those things. Regardless of whether or not he is a prince or just Joe Bloggs, he is 20 and has (what passes for) a brain and as such should not be making light of a tragedy.

True. But to me, it's not a big deal, he should just take a bit more time deciding what to wear to the next fancy dress party.

What so that next time he doesn't make a mockery of the deaths of so many people? Yes, I expect that would be a good idea on the whole.

People are well aware of what the nazis did, I don't think us brits need it pointing out.
However, one of the ways to get past this sort of thing is to make light of them. certainly dozens of comedy programmes have (i.e. 'ello, 'ello), so why not put nazis in with witches, mummies and devils?
Thats the way modern society works. Im told that in bible belt america the people feel the same about kids running around dressed as satan on halloween

I wasnt aware i was giving a lecture. The fact is he made a horrible choice, and i dont understand how people can say they thought it was "hilarious".

His stupidity is hilarious, not his choice of costume.

No of course he shouldn't be thrown out. Where's everybody's sense of humor?

He'll start. And he'll finish. His entry was put back once - if you go there with an injury of any kind you prejudice yourself. He will do OK and yes, I have done the course - it'll be good for him and beat some common sense into him! It did to me!!

Harry has every right to wear what he wishes as does anyone. My suggestion that his choice of garment should also be recognised as being deeply offensive, and irresponsible as a representative of the British state, again seems to fall on deaf ears. I dont know where I suggested that he should not be allowed to wear such a shirt, but rather that you make light of that fact that anyone could find deep and ill-timed offense with it.

Harry was not acting as a representitive of the British State at the time. He was acting in an unofficial private capacity as a young man going to a party.
