"but to remove the last vestiges of power from the Nazis"

even if tongue in cheek: this is a good obervation; going camp with it certainly does trivialize any serious impact of the symbol

Prince William’s half-witted half-brother

I understand the "half-witted" part, but I thought that William and Harry shared the same set of parents; are they really half-brothers?

Rumor has it that Harry is not the son of Charles.

Has anyone ever stopped to think that for some people the swastika doesn't symbolize racism and Nazi death dealing, but a proud old way of life that died out in 1945? Like saying "Mein Herr," or "Meine Dame," out of respect for one's elders, and Mutti's Apfel Strudel? And what about all the brave soldiers who died for their homeland, who fought under the banner of the Swastika, but never had a stake in the anti-Semitism of the Nazis?

But I think I heard a snicker.

Still not a wise move on his part. Which is why I'm glad not to be royalty.

Ok, I just thought about it.

It's bullshit.

The theme of the fancy dress party, thrown by famous horseman and friend of Prince Charles, Richarde Meade, was – believe it or not – ‘Colonials and Natives’. Oh lordy. Colonials and Natives? What the **** are these people on? What century are they living in? Colonials and Natives? It beggars belief. Why not ‘Imperialists and Nig Nogs’? Or would that have been bad taste? So anyway, a fair share of the blame for Harry’s outfit must surely go to the imbecilic Richarde Meade and his appalling choice of party theme

I am no fan of the royal family
but these people need to shut up, if thats the dumbest thing the kid does he will be Lucky .

At least it wasnt Che guevera (sarcasm)

Harry sure doesn't look like any other member of the royal family and has a pretty interesting resemblance to one of the saintly Di's ex-boy-friends.

"Still not funny"

There are several ways to render a subject beyond the pale.

One way is to name the person an anti-Semite. As in respectable society anti-Semitism is unacceptable, the so-named individual will be shunned and politically impotent. However, this will only work in a society that is ALREADY overwhelmingly against the exercise of actual anti-Semitic practice.

Another way to render a person impotent is to make him ridiculous. Ridiculousness has broader reach than intellectual argument. This image makes Hitler totally ridiculous. This does NOT minimize the horror Hitler caused. It merely makes him totally ridiculous -- and incapable of serious consideration as a person or power to emulate.

Humor has long been a "weapon" used in totalitarian regimes by the populace who could do nothing else to resist but indulge in dry humor. It was a way of gaining solidarity with others against the regime.

There are very many. One on the top of my head:

A fish monger in WWII time Germany cries:

Hering, so fett wie Goering (Herring as fat as Goering).

The Gestapo arrests him and puts him in prison for four weeks. When released his cry is:

Hering, so fett wie vor vier Wochen (Herring as fat as four weeks ago).

I.E. Goering was a fat, pompous, ridiculous figure -- and the people knew it . . .

I don't know why Parliament doesn't require DNA tests of all the royals. Would put rumors like this to bed--or bear them out.
