Harry

[stensonlad]

Come on get a grip!
Who are these people complaining about what Prince Harry said in the video?
**** is just short for for a person from Pakistan the same as Brit is short for a person from Britain and nobody gets pulled up for saying that!
Rag head!!!!!!!! Come on this is a term for people Killing our soldiers, Who cares if we affend them and soldiers have always had nick names for the ones they were fighting.
And swearing how dare he!!
What Planet are these people off?
This is the mallenium, people swear all the time.
I defy any one who says they would'nt swear while in a war zone and constantly looking over their shoulder.

...they do...it's called friend...

I don't like Harry or his family but from what I can see this has been blown up out of control due to the fact that some press hog got hold of it.
It seems to have happened some time ago. The man concerned had the good grace to rise above it and forget it.
Do people not think that they call us names or is it a case that they are allowed to do it and we are not.
But more to the point the Islamics have hopped on the band wagon even though the word Islam was never mentioned. So why do they feel insulted?

Perhaps the young chap had the good sense to disassociate himself from the condescending royal halfwit (of questionable birth).

[Totterdown]

The remark made by Harry may well have been said "without malilce" but what about other people who say similar things and are not so lucky to get away with it? The person (can't remember her name) a few years ago on Big Brother was absolutely taken to pieces because she referred to Charlie (in a very friendly way) as n!gger and a huge fuss was made of it. But then, she was not royal and had everyone fawning over her. Why do some people think if someone is royal they can do no wrong? I personally think he did say it without malice, but someone in his position has to be careful, and it appears he thinks he can do and say what he likes.

harry for king, you lot are so up tight!!!

[Totterdown]

A for Harry for King, just think there is only William between him and the throne, then Andrew and his two daughters, then Edward. I say get married quickly William and produce and heir.

[dot.hawkes]

the line of succession carries through Charles now, and if william failed it would go to harry not andrew or edward

[Totterdown]

I didn't say the throne would pass to Andrew after William. I said (or implied) that Harry would take the throne after William if William did not have any children, THEN Andrew would be next in line after Harry if things stand as they are now.

A mish mash over nothing I say. Leave our Royals alone. In my humble opinion all ****'s should be shot at birth along with the scotch and welsh.

sunday trading laws were relaxed because of the change of our lifestyles ie shift workers, not because of the parentage of the shopkeepers.

[LeedsRhinos]

There isn't a serving army personel in Afghanistan / Iraq that hasn't used the term "Raghead".
Get over it, there are FAR more pressing issues going on right now.

[LoftyLottie]

Exactly!

[missrandom]

Just because lots of 'army personnel' have used the term doesnt make it right.

[Totterdown]

It is not whether he said it in jest or a malicious way.
It is not whether whether it is offensive or not.
It is not whether the other person took offence or not (actually his father did).
It is not whether there are more pressing things going on in the world.
It is not whether it is three years old or three days old.
It is more the fact that if it were an ordinary man in the street he would have been severely dealt with but because he is royal everyone is rising to his defence. It seems that no one should criticise him just because he is a prince - after all he is only a young man "having a bit of fun". Just why should he be judged any differently?

[LoftyLottie]

Whether he is prince or pauper, I would feel exactly the same. The only difference is that the press wouldn't have bothered with pauper.

[Totterdown]

No, the press wouldn't have bothered with a pauper, but the pauper would have been punished if what he said was proved. A prince's remarks have been proved to have been said, but will HE be punished? THAT is the difference.

sp1814...questionable birth? A cowardly remark, that you know would cost you your life in Pak1land.....you mis-use your freedom of speech and alienate pak1s more.

Have you proved your siring of your off-spring - you ought to!

[Bbbananas]

Talk about the usual mountain out of a molehill. The guy's been over in Afghanistan fighting amongst the plebs - just leave him alone for gawd's sake. The '****' involved hasn't made a complaint - & I'm sure there are a lot more abusive words used amongst the lads than that. He did not say or mean it maliciously.

Perlease... can everyone just get real.

[sp1814]

I have absolutely no idea what your post of 10.04 means.

Really.

Where exactly is 'Pak1land'???

Are you for real? It's almost (but not quite) funny.

Pak1land??? Have we all travelled back to 1974? Is that a memo I didn't receive?
