British University Initiation Stunt: Get Drunk, Take Orders From Nazis

Downpour

The logical conclusion for a country that - lacking authority figures - is already literally the worst place on earth to be a child:

A university is investigating a video of binge-drinking undergraduates taking part in a bizarre initiation ceremony with a student dressed as a Nazi officer. The University of Gloucestershire said on Thursday it would try to trace the students who were marched through the streets with plastic bags over their heads as part of a sports club ritual. The footage, broadcast on the BBC, showed a group of students taking orders from a man dressed in a peaked cap, black leather boots and a Nazi-style jacket with a red armband bearing a swastika. Some of the group are shown drinking and being sick while they are lined up against a wall. At one point, they are led in single file down the middle of a residential street.

Also the logical conclusion for a country where RAF heroes have gone from fighting the Nazi scourge to not being able to wear their uniforms in public. And this isn't even the most horrifying result of Britain's manic oscillation between parental neglect and indulgence in the last 24 hours.

In fairness to these tools: if Prince Harry can do it...
