This desire for 'republicanism' and 'democracy' is what has gotten us in the mess in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Personal rule by a King protected his subjects. Today under democracy we pay far more taxes than then, we can be called up to fight and die in wars started by politicians and arms manufacturers. The state regulates our thoughts and our behaviour, we have little privacy and yet you still think we are 'free' and 'better off'???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-46748078653011959372009-01-16T09:42:00.000+00:002009-01-16T09:42:00.000+00:00Bearing in mind that Harry (or perhaps more accura...Bearing in mind that Harry (or perhaps more accurately Heinrich) has an unbroken line of german male ancestors (many inter-related too) with an occasional leavening of british aristocrats (well 2) in his family tree, he's hardly best equipped to make any comment on anyone's origins is he? And as for Kron Prinz Karl and Sooty.

Also, from my experience, joining the army doesn't turn thick, uneducated people into 'cogent, intelligent' human beings. Quite the opposite, in fact.<BR/><BR/>However, if this is the case, as you say, maybe you should consider a spell in our marvellous military services and see what it does for you?Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876355259363977853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-36514066086815397082009-01-14T15:39:00.000+00:002009-01-14T15:39:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stan Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877204795536395407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-89312008396805117172009-01-14T10:51:00.000+00:002009-01-14T10:51:00.000+00:00Here we are again.One thing normal that Harry does...Here we are again.<BR/>One thing normal that Harry does and they're going for the jugular.<BR/>Don't you get that the News of The World can hardly talk? They just want to sell more copies and they're doing an excellent job of that!<BR/><BR/>Harry wasn't being racist. It's not the word itself. It's how you use the word. The context is everything.<BR/><BR/>This is what a civilization in an advanced state of senility looks like. When the barbarians are at the gates, we'll still be worrying about the epithets we use about them: "differently head-geared", perhaps.<BR/><BR/>As a side note, I thought institutional-racism was a problem because it impedes the police force's ability to fight crime in a multiracial society, exemplified in the Steven Lawrence case. Why on earth should it be a problem in the army?<BR/><BR/>Also off topic, in the "raghead" video I was surprised at how cogent and intelligent Harry sounded, considering his struggle to get A-Levels at Britain's poshest school, even with cheating. I guess the army's training facilities are still pretty good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
