I really do not know what to make of this.

The guy was in fancy dress, for s sake. He wasn't picked out in a Combat 18 rally or anything. Perhaps we should all be relieved that he didn't offend any nurses, gorillas or worse still, Elvis.

Oh, and they dig up some old fart of an MP nobodys heard of to say he isn't fit for the Army.

Light news day? Or is it just me?

This is the same BBC reporting the story who made "Allo, Allo" isn't it?



Have they not got any Blairist propaganda stories to publish?

If he wants to wear a Swastika it's up to him IMO.

I had a guy come into the bar the other day with a Swastika sewn onto his shirt. A delightful young female promptly approached the bar and said: 'that guy's wearing a Swastika, it offends me, I want him kicked out!'

I kindly told her to respect other people's beliefs, and that telling someone that they aren't entitled to these beliefs is the very epitomy of fascism.

Well at least he didn't come as Bin Laden, now that would have been tactless

The outfit was loaned to him by Princess Michael of Kent.

Apparently it used to belong to her cousin Adolf.

Don't know why everyone keeps going on about the royal family being descended from German stock. The whole bloody royal family prior to the 1st world war was related!

Wouldn't surprise me if the newspaper had flipped that image horizontally, as the swastika carries a very different meaning when its direction is reversed.

What does he need to apologize for? It was a costume party for s sake, its not like he was seen on the tube beating the seven shades out of some immigrant.

To be accurate the Royal family has always married other European royalty for politcal reasons, E.g Marry your ineffictive virgin son/Prince off to a spanish Enfanta to form an alliance to put pressure on the French.

What a moronic story! The Sun really is the pits (and it supports Blair).
