simon Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 [Apparently the theme of the fancy dress party was "colonial and native". Prince William's 21st party had a similar, slighty un PC, theme.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Harry is a simply a spoiled and stupid insensitive Prat and his acts reflect far more on his ‘watchers’ and PR people than him. To me the really big issue is the comment by NuLabour Home Secretary Charles Clarke, when he , said the he was satisfied with Harry's statement. "He's apologized and I think we should leave the matter there," Yet ANOTHER example of NuLabour ‘Let’s draw a line under it and move on’ mentality. Never mind what ‘it’ happens to have been ranging from Mandlesons dishonesty through to Blunkets arrogance and idiocy – always the same refrain ’Let’s draw a line under it and move on’. Well how about NOT drawing a line under anything. How about remembering the misdeeds, the lies, the immorality, the dishonesty, and the simple gross stupidity and putting it on the record.

WilDDog Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I voted doesn't matter. It was a party and people were dressing up to have a laugh. Harry is a simply a spoiled and stupid insensitive Prat and his acts reflect far more on his ‘watchers’ and PR people than him. I don't suppose you've ever done fancy dress have you.

"He's apologized and I think we should leave the matter there," <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, apologising is utterly pointless with a crime of this magnitude. Let's string him up. No wait, hanging is too good for this boy. Let's disembowel him first and have him torn into four quarters by his father's own polo ponies. That'll show the world how sorry we are that he made this childish error of judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with "Harry is a simply a spoiled and stupid insensitive Prat and his acts reflect far more on his ‘watchers’ and PR people than him. " And moved on to have a dig at Charles Clarke as I see the NuLabour responce as being far more significant than what a 20 year old kid - whoever he is - gets up to.

Speckled Frost Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The Royal Family are supposed to be ambassadors and I think it does matter. We are just two weeks from the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz - surely this idiot, being who he is, should have been aware of this. This isn't a childish error - it's ignorance and insensitivity. This guy doesn't learn from his mistakes - trouble is you can't sack royalty. The sooner we're a Republic, the better.

hollandaise Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 This isn't a childish error - it's ignorance and insensitivity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fair point to make, but at the same time, exactly what else should we expect from him BEYOND an apology? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzbomb Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 it's probably a bit of a conspiracy - it was a private party after all where i should imagine he would be surrounded by mates - so whoever took the photo and offered it to the press will no doubt be making a racket from that...meanwhile, prince harry gets into trouble and is probably hoping that all this adverse publicity means that he will not be allowed to serve his time at Sandhurst, which will result in him being banished from the royal court and if this leaves him penniless, his mate who made the money from the picture will happily keep him clean, fed and clothed... thing is it's all turned on its' head as the Royal correspondent is now saying that Sandhurst'll do him the world of good - (poor thing will probably get the ch!£t kikkedd out of him)... apart from all that - i think anyone who takes offence at what he was dressed as at a private fancy dress party should be shot - as the object of satire is clearly the Nazi party and not their victims who suffered in a war at the beginning of the last century.

hollandaise Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The sooner we're a Republic, the better. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, the Royal Family does nothing for this country or any other, are all utterly worthless people and I can't wait until our only figurehead is someone properly elected by the people like ...

loaf Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 All I can say on the matter is that newspaper sales must be pretty low at the moment. The words Royalty and Scandal sell papers, even if it's utter codswallop like this. It's made "Topic du jour" today here, for instance. Now if he'd got a skinhead and was seen at a Neo-Nazi meeting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speckled Frost Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I wasn't really arguing for anything more than an apology only that I feel it does matter. apart from all that - i think anyone who takes offence at what he was dressed as at a private fancy dress party should be shot - as the object of satire is clearly the Nazi party and not their victims who suffered in a war at the beginning of the last century. Firstly, he's royalty and nothing is private, he knows that, we know that. Secondly, the timing of his oh so funny 'satirical' dresswear could not be worse with the anniversary so close.
