Arse.

That said, I don't remember any of the Royal Family getting sacked...

Not sure what to make of this.

Are we going to get to a point where anyone in office has to be sacked simply because they once stood in a room where someone might have mentioned the Nazis a decade before?

If Burley had been dressed in a Nazi uniform, I can understand the opprobrium. If, as it seems from the reports, only the groom at the stag do was wearing a fancy dress uniform, Burley is guilty of nothing more than having a poor choice of friends, in my opinion.

We expect our politicians to be so squeaky clean I wonder we allow them to have sex. :lol:

I thought there was talk of them all doing the salute as well? I don't think all the information has come out because initially the Tories were going to keep him, that was until DC got some further details.

If Nazi uniforms are so offensive, then why can you hire them?

But they were in France. It's illegal to display nazi insignia, uniforms, flags etc. there.
