First question: have these protestors been paid, just as those teenage
girls who met the Beatles at Heathrow airport 30-odd years ago were paid
to scream and thereby demonstrate 'Beatlemania'?
Second question: what next? Already of course one victim of
everyone-hates-you in a version of this horrendous shit shown on TV
elsewhere in Europe killed themselves shortly after being 'ejected'.

This at least is a complete falsehood ....
Its going way over the top now, its only a bloody gameshow. Trouble is,
some sicko may carry out the actions.

What next? Slaughter the llamas of course!
Were they?

Yes, although I should have typed '40-odd years ago' rather than '30-odd
years ago', since the famous occasion was in 1963 :-) According to
Donald Clarke, 'money for screaming' had previously been paid for Frank
Sinatra in 1939.

iconoclasm, but it's all hype by people who want your money! :-)

Would that be with or without a CCW permit?
Hear what Chalfont said today about the Chinook and the MOD's adoption
of the (quote) doctrine of infallibility (unquote)? Betcha John Reid
will have grokked.

I wonder will they report Graham Norton's comment on his show last night,
about Prince Harry and his ginger hair?

Yes, and the two English inquests haven't reached verdicts yet.
Reportedly the Princess Diana one will be reconvened this year or next
year. The press is keeping quiet about the Dodi Fayed one. Moreover, if
a jury is appointed in the Princess Diana inquest, it will have to
consist of officers of the Royal Household. This is according to the
Coroners Act 1988, which is published online at:
<http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1988/Ukpga_19880013_en_1.htm>
Section 29(4) states that when an inquest is presided over by the
Coroner to the Royal Household, any jury appointed must come from
officers (sic) of the Royal Household.
Oh and the former Coroner of the Royal Household, John Burton, has
retired, to be replaced by his deputy, Michael Burton, who is also
presiding over the Dodi Fayed inquest in his capacity as coroner for
Surrey.
Pip-pip!

Started off as a gag about some article about Harry giving a £2 tip after a
£200 meal, and Norton saying that he liked a "tight prince". And then
commenting about his ginger hair, saying "explain that"
