Re: Prince Charles Private Letters
Jim is a typical example of our modern day media. They like to target the famous and the vulnerable, they are like vultures around any calamity and are quick to spot the most likely one to succumb to their blandishments for what they consider a top story. When one hits back they fall back on the old phrase, Freedom of the Press, what a crock of crap, some of them are a disgrace to their so called profession. As said once before we now in these enlightened times can hit back by these electronic means, unfortuanetly the likes of Prince Charles is severely restricted in doing so. I hope others have taken note of the actions of the paper responsible and take action and tell them their thoughts on the subject. Second rate newspaper reporting and shows the inaccuracy of a lot of what is published. Cheers JS PS in other words pure and undiluted S---e stirring. JS

No matter what the subject of a persons post is you continue to bring it around to your own prejudices.
my dislike for unions is based on my seeing the disorder they have caused ......your dislike seems to be of anyone who got off the bottom and did something .....in one of your recent whinges you were on about ....touching your forelock.......dont know anyone whodoes that ...but you carry on ...ps did you google the princes trust and see what charles actually does or did you not bother....which is probably the case .....to each his own louis ...cappy off to shields for the day .....and we all no what the unions did to the tyne

Re: Prince Charles Private Letters
Perhaps when you get back you will have something more interesting to say instead of bleating on about the same old subject we have heard time after time.
Please take the time to read what the posts are before voicing an opinion.

Re: Prince Charles Private Letters
Just an aside to this post. I caught the tail end of a news summary the other day, with a statement that one of the reporters jailed in Egypt re all the hue and cry by Al Jazeera as being innocent etc. etc. was suing Al Jazeera itself for something about his imprisonment. Anyone follow up on the story ??? JS

In that order John?

But of course, you have a drink while waiting for the lady to arrive and a smoke after.
