And when I think of Harry wearing a swastika I dont think Britain I think the Royal Family.

And when you think Royal Family, that'd be the Royal Family of where?
Thought so.

Just a question, why do you hate the Royal Family? After all the public only pay an equivilant of 60p per year toward the upkeep of the Royals, with a President or other head of state the cost would surely be more. IMO the Royals do a good job, one black sheep can't be allowed to discredit the flock, can it?
CalcuoCuchicheo said:I know this is a severely late reply, & for that I apologize. I was trying to remember something that was said when I came across your post.
Anyway, I stated a bunch of reasons as to why I hate the monarchy.
Money is a major factor.
Another is I have a venomous distaste for what they represent (imperialism, colonisation, inequality etc.)
My religious beliefs also mean I am disgusted that these people are in power because those before them murdered & somehow believed to rule over me & my family was their 'divine right'.
Classism. Pride. The fact that I have never pledged allegiance to that crown and yet by law, I am bound to it.
Also, being Scottish, I don't like the fact that there is discrimination against the other countries of Britain. (Take note that the national God Save The Queen has a verse, which granted they no longer use, which refers to crushing rebellious Scots.)
That's like still employing the use of burning crosses but trying to say 'oh, we ain't KKK, we ain't racist'.
What about the fact that a Catholic can never sit on the throne of this country? And I don't mean it's unlikely, I mean that will NEVER happen unless there is a revolution. Same goes for Muslims, & anyone else who isn't a white Protestant. (Take note that a lot of people believe that Diana was murdered partially because she was going to marry an Arab, Dodi Al Fayed)
BTW, we have a Prime Minister who we also pay for, just like a President so the monarchy are an extra cost.
Anyway, if you seriously want to know more of my reasons, just ask. I will post up an essay or some shit. Just remember, you reap what you sow.
I just wanted to point out that when Marshall dressed as Bin Laden in his video, Bin Laden gets his ass kicked in the scene.
artisticgurl & SeX KiTTeN, do me a favour & read every last post here before making such ignorant comments. And if you still feel the same after reading these posts, read up on the Biritsh monarchy's history & Nazi history then you may not feel that Harry was justified in what he did.
right your correct the Swastika probably did have a different (we've discussed the different meanings) peaceful meaning, but how dy you knower of all truth explain the nazi soldier uniformSeX KiTTeN said:I have read in-depth about the atrocities that occurred during WW2 and I am not about to deny just how horrific it was. All I'm saying is that one little swastika does not deserve to make front-page news all over the world!
Long before the swastika was adopted as Hitler's Nazi "logo" it had very different religious meanings... see this link here . Why was everybody so quick to assume that Harry's swastika had anything to do with Hitler or the Nazi's for that matter? Because that is what's controversial. THAT is what sells magazines, not religious symbology!
Please don't call me ignorant just because I refuse to buy into the propoganda the tabloids set up to make Prince Harry look like an evil person.
