So much of British humour involves the Nazi's, I think you have to take into account that there's nothing 'taboo' about wearing it for a laugh in the UK. I would say that it was a very stupid thing to do given his position, but it was only a party after all. I'm not sure it makes him a prick either.. [/QUOTE]My feeling exactly sham, well not the British humor part, though we have Col. Kink and Sgt. Schulz for us CoC's old enough to remember Hogan's Heros. From what I can tell it was a costume party, who hasn't chosen a stupid costume for one of those things before. But hey he's you people's prince, do with as you wish.
As for banning the Swastka, It's a symbol that has been used in many cultures throughout history. For the Nazi part of it, if it is banned, will that force those that believe in the Nazi line to go under ground, or more under ground? I think they should be alowed to wear it so they are easier to spot, keep an eye on. If they are underground then they work on the very foundations of society, but if they are alowed to rise to the surface, they can be held up to reticule. An example is the KKK, at one time they could wear full hoods that covered their faces, so they remained anonymous, they held power. The people you dealt with everyday could have been a KKK member, and no one would have been the wiser. But once they were no longer alowed to hide their faces, then everybody in town knew who they were. Their power was gone, if something happened people knew who to look for, instead of the unknown anonymous visitor in the dark.
