Or to see things from another position

"What was the party like?"
"It was a bit s**t, mostly. Tell you what though - you know Mike Gardner?"
"The guy who's really up himself, yeh? He's your main boss, isn't he? "
"That's him - well, you know I told you how everyone calls him Hitler behind his back, and makes nazi salutes and clicks their heels when he's gone out of the room?"
"Go on............"
"Well he only turns up DRESSED as Hitler, doesn't he?"
"Really? Fair play to him - and he was all right about it, was he?"
"Yeh, he had a laugh with everyone, I saw a different side of him, really"
"Bet he's still a t**t on Monday though"
"Ha - yeh, I bet he is".

Or........

"Hi, have you got a Robin Hood or a decent Captain Sparrow please?"
"Sorry, no, we're a bit low on stock at the moment. Lots of fancy dress parties on. Just about everything's out."
"Sod, I've left it too late. I've GOT to wear a costume or I'll be seen as aloof. What have you got left?"
"French Maid, Tart, Cabaret Dancer, Selwyn and of course the Hitler one nobody's rented since 1965"
"Damn. Damn. Oh dear. Let's have a look at the Hitler one......"

I'm not saying my versions are correct - I have no idea - and I'm not comfy defending a Tory. I'm just saying that we shouldn't be too quick to judge, that's all. It's fancy dress - it's bollocks.
