The reduction of complex ideologies, attitudes and statements into a single emblem is a gross distortion of the truth and can only lead to the misdirection of otherwise justified and righteous abhorrence, rage and argumentation.

Eh? The reason we have these emblems is so that they CAN identify these groups with distinct 'ideologies, attitudes and statements'. By bearing the swastika Harry has shown either his ignorance or apathy of what it represents.

and so is the devil and yet I somehow doubt that if he had gone dressed as lucifer to this party there wouldn't be any uproar.

The devil didn't bomb the **** out of Britain anytime in living memory.

I'm just more concerned with the ideology itself than with prats stumbling around, dressed up in funny clothes, making fools of themselves.

When he starts sieg-heiling and talking about the 'purity of the race', then I'll be worried.

I once dressed up as a neo-Nazi (first it was an accident, then I got drunk), and walked around the parties claiming how I was a gay nazi, and born a jew, and stuff like that.

To my own surprise no one told my I was being disrespectful. I got pretty wasted and decided the skinhead costume was a bit too much, so I started to speak pseudorussian and send people TO GULAG MOTHJERLJAND

I could make some comment about this being the result of inbreeding, but that would be rude (and I'm not try to be insulting to British royalty specifically in this comment, but rather the vast majority of hereditary aristocracies). Instead, let's just say this was an idiotic act, nothing more, nothing less.

ok, lets put it this way, if Bush had a son and he dressed up as Usama while going to a halloween party, I wouldn't care.

[Corsair]

I would.

Spectator #1: Oh my God. I'm so offended. I'm going to do something about this.
Spectator #2: Mike, there's not really anything you can do.
Spectator #1: Wow, you're right. I... I guess I'm... just going to have to develop a sense of humor, or something... huh?

[Corsair]

It would be sending the message that it is okay to flaunt Nazism and Nazi symbols. By saying that's okay, it's basically saying the ideology is okay, which it most absolutely is not.

I think a more relevant question would be can he be denied enterance to sandhurst, as opposed to should he. Because you know he is like the future king of england and all that.

Probably piss those of you who oppose his wearing of the costume off if I pointed out that your tax money paid for it?

I knew I chose socialism for a reason...
