In response to the Harry is racist scandal David Cameron said this:
I think it’s important that in the great institutions… we root out attitudes like that. That has to go right across the institutions.
I’m not sure whether Cameron reckons the army or the royal family is the great institution – I personally don’t hold either in high regard. I do at least understand why we need an army, but it’s really high time to get rid of the monarchy. Republic is leading efforts in that regard – join!
As for Harry’s comments: with a (probable?) grandfather who says things like this then are we remotely surprised? Daily Mash has more in typical style.
However repugnant those institutions are you might actually consider NOT SHOUTING IN BLOCK CAPITALS. Oh, and some correct grammar would be handy too.
NO INDEED IT IS TIME TO BE RID OF THE OBESE MONSTER OF THE EU, AND THOSE USELESS BEUROCRATS WHO WOULD SEE ANYTHING OF THE INDIVIDUALISTIC BEAUTY OF NATIONALITY GON, ONLY TO BE REPLACED WITH A MINDLESS, RACELESS, SEXLESS PROLETARIAT, OF THE SORT BELOVED BY THE VERY WORST OF COMMUNISTS THE WORLD OVER! THE FAT REPUGNANANT EU, WILL LIKE B’LIARS LIEBOUR PARTY, VANISH UP IT’S OVER PAID ARSE AND HOPEFULLY DIE QUIETLY BEFORE THEY CAUSE THE BIGGEST CIVIL WARR IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE PLANET!!
A Happy New Year to you Jon. I love the new blog format – it looks fresh and up to date; somehow brighter and easier to read.
I am baffled that you hold the British Monarchy and the British Army in such low esteem. To my mind they are one and the same, the former being head of the latter. But surely someone as insightful as yourself would be prepared to recognise enduring success when you see it.
It is rather like Peter Mandelson. You may have your doubts, you may dislike him intensely, but you cannot deny that the man is extraordinarily good at what he does.
