Just a tought.
Maybe Harry set out to provoke an argument on the holocaust and the dark days of the twentieth century. Trying to get the topic back on the forums to discuss and make sure everybody knows what horrors lie in fanatism, and trying to make people concsious of todays problems and possible outcomes of a further polarisation of religion and fundamentalism.
It could in this light be seen as a political statement against further escalation of the Bush/Blair route to anarchy in the middle east. telling the world to look out for blind following of todays leaders and this kind of things.
Nah he's to dumb-ignorant himself to come up with such a thing.

I was just thinking of the live show on the Thames, the river police and the raised eyebrows on Nationwide (could have been the coke in Boffs case!). All part of the glorious tapestry of life in Little Britain .

Who waved a flag in '77. Was the world so different back then?

The Daily Mail LOVES wasting paper on holier-than-thou Nannyist claptrap.

With the sentence and word length of Daily Mail - 20 000 sentences and about 60 000 words...

The resemblance is temptingly uncanny...
But come on, Reed - why do you think it was such a bad thing?

The theme of the party was "colonial and native" - and the Royal family has well-publicised German roots...

If I'd been at that party and seen him, I'd have been in tears of laughter - it wasn't even a realistic costume - he was obviously taking the piss out of Nazis and himself.

I don't understand what the problem is.
Britain has a Royal family, and tourists (especially from America) like to stuff loads of money into the British coffers to see them, their living quarters and their heritage. Get rid of them, and say "Bye-bye" to a stack of cash. Good idea.
NOT!!!
Who CARES if Prince Harry goes to a fancy dress party? I don't care about his costume - I find it very funny, and think that the PC brigade are out in force - the media especially making a huge meal out of it with their high and mighty tones. Why don't they piss off and leave the poor guy alone? He's just a regular kid at heart - and he can't help the family he's been born into. He does good stuff and bad stuff like other kids - I applauded when I read the stories about him going clubbing, throwing parties, getting drunk and smoking spliffs like normal people.
I would have thought that his grandfather would find it all incredibly amusing - Phil may be a liability to this country, but he's a practically guaranteed laugh, and keeps scores of diplomats in jobs.
Harry's timing makes his joke all the more funny - and it should be taken as a joke.
Sending him to Auschwitz and forcing him to watch all kinds of films is OTT, IMO - although a visit to Auschwitz would be fascinating, and probably deeply humbling. It shouldn't be used as a PUNISHMENT for him enjoying himself.
He's alright - the kids are alright.
What he needs an education in is prog music
|
One of the criticisms aimed at the Royals is that they are stuffy elitist bores who have nothing in common with their "subjects". Harry is a breath of fresh air imo and I'd wrap up a draw with the lad anytime he wants to pop over to the 'Dam.

Living in a country that got its independence only after the monarchs
were executed (thanks V.I.L)... (now I should come up with the rest of
the sentence, but i cannot come up with anything funny)
phew...
I'm going through a sort of a brain fart I think...
I'll come back to this...
