Prince Harry

It seems our former - Nazi uniform wearing prince - has put his racist mouth in it again. Describing in condescending terms, " Our little Paki friend "- and using the term raghead. Should he be dismissed from the M.O.D. ? I would say yes, without a doubt.

Simple question here....does that mean that anyone who has ever called a Paki Shop a Paki Shop is racist ? Just wondering.
Ouch !

Am I correct in stating that it was three years ago?If so,does it need to be dragged up now?Who on this forum has said something three years ago that they may regret now?I appreciate his position in the public eye should make him more responsible for his actions but I feel that drumming him out would serve no useful purpose.

Right well, here goes and I'm sure I'll be hit from all sides with condemnation but what the Hell is all this doing taking up the first SEVEN minutes of the world news? As far as I'm concerned, it is PC gone absolutely mad. I am no fan of the Royal Family and racism is a terrible disease but a 'Paki' is surely an abbreviation of 'Pakistani' and is used in the same way as 'Brit', 'Scot' and 'Aussie' - should I be screaming "Racism!" from the sassenach rooftops each and every day my workmates and pals call me a Jock or even - shock horror!- a Scot?

And Ionns, you hypocrite, you have used that word on more than one occasion on this forum so how come you are all awash with moral indignation now? :<>

This is a nonsense story. It's not even a story. He used the words in a context that was completely inoffensive and had the usual 'offended thought police' up in arms. Why did I know that Ionnsaigh was going to be the first to post about this with one of his righteous, holier than thou, 'I've never done anything wrong' posts.

Non Story.

Guess the news editors are sick of the credit crunch stories so its probably a refreshing change for them.

Four eyes, i think you'll find that the only one having a go at Harry (so far), was the originator of this thread :)
