Charles might go public
London - Prince Charles has arrived back in Britain after a foreign tour that has been dominated by a media frenzy over allegations made by a former royal servant.

He arrived back at London's Heathrow airport just after 4pm on the British Airways 767 used for his official visit to the Middle East and India.

The prince kept his head down and ignored waiting journalists and photographers, Sky News reports.

5. I Just Love This Reporting
Reading the BBC reporting on this issue is hysterical because of the court order. They can say everything but what the specific allegation is.

Amazing how you can still communicate the gist of the story, though. They do good work there.

6. throw 'em out
Throw these royal parasites out on the London sidewalk on their asses and make them all fend for themselves. PARASITES! Think of all the money that would be freed up for social programs if the state seized all their bric-a-brac! Time for the monarchy to GO!

And then the press could cover something IMPORTANT besides the royals' sex lives.

Maybe Sophie's premature baby will take the heat offa Charles alleged whatever (Edward's wife had a low-birth-weight baby, several weeks early, by emergency C-section).

7. Don't be so superior
Edited on Sun Nov-09-03 03:04 PM by qwertyMike
You can say anything in the USA but nobody mentions that the President talks to God.

Not often anyway.

Do you think Bill talked to God?

8. heh heh you're right.
What on earth can we Americans say, considering we have a "leader" who has the IQ of 2 points above plant life?

Also, the Royal Family doesn't govern. We have the great misfortune of having a moron who also rules.

9. I formally protest on behalf of PLADA.....
The Plant Life Anti-defamation Association formally requests that you take back you insult against all plant life by claiming that Bush comes anywhere near the intelligence of a plant.

10. The Royals demean themselves so much just so they can get public subsidy.
If the government started cutting them off financially (which they should) how long do you think it'd be before they abdicated in exchange for a little privacy and dignity.

Goes to show you, being able to withstand public scrutiny isn't a quality that you can pass along like inherited privilege.
