Prince Harry and the Swastika

[David Gould]

As someone who has attended a costume party dressed as a Nazi I would have to say that my sympathy is with Harry. Wearing such a costume to a party is not a political statement of any kind. Nor is it intended to disrespect the people who suffered and died under and due to the Nazi regime. When people dress up as Ghengis Khan do we complain? What about when people dress up as Caligula? We have no problem with those, do we? From my perspective, such a reaction from the British tabloids is to be expected. But it is just their usual crap.
