It seems Prince Harry is in trouble again!

A video of Harry calling one of his fellow army officers a 'paki' has been discovered.

It's on the BBC homepage. (I don't know how to put a link here)

Sounds like Harry is cut from the same cloth as his grandfather. Lovely. Sad

I've long since come to realize that the monarchy does not represent the average British person. I think it's high time they had to get a job and stop mooching off of taxpayer money. That, and I'd love to see the Queen removed from Canadian currency. Also, when I go to court to fight something, I don't think I should be doing battle with Regina. Rolling Eyes

Well to be honest.... I think the term "Paki" is a bit too over-rated. Its like calling someone from Australia Aussie! Surprised
As for the sentiments Harry had.... yes, those should be disciplined.

I saw on the News this morning that a woman from Wales has allowed her 3 year old son to smoke cigarettes. Evil or Very Mad

What I find even more remarkable is that the authorities are not going to put the poor kid into care.

How does one "allow" a three year old kid to smoke? First of all you would have to FORCE or COMPEL/PERSUADE the child to put a fully lit cigarette in their mouth, draw, inhale and exhale the smoke. They would have to do this several times before the child feels that they would have to smoke. This is ridiculous and the lack of any measure against the responsible is equally appalling as Charles has already said.

I think I have seen the couple in a BBC Lifestyle program where they devise a program to make good parents out of bad parents.

I think laws should also be against parents who feed children with every junk food in the world and make them obese.

I totally agree. As for Australia, we would be better off as a republic. But monarchists are a funny bunch, always suggesting that the country would go downhill if we dared to remove the union jack from our flag. Or the world would end if the british monarchy was ended.

Which is actually preferable to the situation we have here in Canada where our country is being run by a bunch of feckless weasels.

Some Belgian dude killed a couple of babies with a knive.
They say he was inspired by the Joker from Batman Rolling Eyes

There's also a rumor (still not sure!!!) that he killed some old woman some years ago and that he was send free (again...this is a rumor).

At least three people have been killed and 10 injured at a creche in northwest Belgium after a man entered the building and began slashing people with a knife.

Those killed included two children, ranging in age up to three, and a female worker.

The guy who did it is 20 years old I believe.

Two words: Electric Chair Evil or Very Mad

Take a look at the creepy goons behind the reporter in this clip... these are members of our ruling party, not a Victorian sideshow exhibition!

Today on Queen's Day, an annual holiday here in the Netherlands, someone tried to hit the bus with the Dutch royal family with his car. He didn't hit the bus, but drove straight through the crowd before he crashed into a monument, killing 4 people. Another 13 people are wounded, 5 of them badly.
CNN article and video here.

Dumbass. It's the utter ineptness of these sorts of "assassination" attempts that make me cringe more than any empathy for their inbred unelected intended victims.
