Ousetunes Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 This just shows the intolerance for freedom of speech and expression in England. Wearing a Nazi uniform may not be in the best of taste but that's the least of the problem. More serious is the creeping tyranny of the righteously correct who are as intolerant of anything that does not conform to their way of thinking as the Nazis intoleration of the Jews. Exactly. Next time he ought to go as Osama Bin Laden. That would have the Polly Toynbee brigade literally salivating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 The fact that he happens to represent the nasty Tory party is probably what irks these 'protestors' most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiSiSi Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I bet the Romans and Vikings killed a fair few people, why is dressing as a Roman or Viking not un-PC? Agreed entirely. The Romans were just as barbaric as the Nazis yet we glorify their deeds on TV and even teach our kids about them in our schools! I wonder if anyone was dressed as a centurion at the party?

RozeePozee Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I am not Tory party supporter by any means but has everyone lost their sense of humour? He wasn't attending a council meeting - it was a fancy dress party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiff Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Whatever you think about wearing the uniform, its a terrible lack of judgement by someone working in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the way I see it. The left wingers and do-gooders just love sticking the knife in when somebody does something which they can twist into being a problem - it's a shame that the loud minority of loony left get listened to rather than the good ignoring they deserve.

Conrod Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 You should be ashamed of yourself for comparing the actions of those who are shocked by this behaviour with the actions of the Nazis. I'm sure that on reflection, you will consider the murder of 6 million Jews and ten times as many soldier deaths to be more serious than a bit of moral outrage.No, the intolerance of the anti-brigade today is hardly different to that of the Nazis. As for your figures - I suggest you read up on the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SY LOGISTICS Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 It does not reflect upon anything, because this is a fancy dress party. It has no bearing whatsoever on anyone, or anything, that is outside of that party. Correct. This sounds like a cheap points scoring exercise by a political enemy in the town , as i cant believe a member of the public could be offended at a costume worn at a fancy dress party. This needs to be kept in context for what it was ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing fancy dress which is designed to lampoon an infamous historical character is hardly preaching hatred against anybody in our community. Can you honestly not see that? Maybe not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
