Re: Prince Harry accused of racism

I will 'Kow Tow' to no-one, why should I?
I like the humour of Billy Connelly and enjoyed the humour of the likes of Bernard Manning.
Sometimes OTT but funny, he fell on his arse in India but such is life.
Are we the Morons that are expected to believe that Harry should be subjected to the inquisition that occured fn France?
The lad is a Prince by birth and to my mind has done nothing wrong.

It's stories like this that make people racist. I agree with others on here who have said that the shortened version of Pakistani is only the same as calling us Brits. Why is it only offensive on one side?
Because some overpaid jobsworth says so. They are the real problem.

Makes one wonder how many of the political correct News of the World readers have NEVER used the offending word

The Press do need to create stories, and this one certainly seems to have done what it was intended to do, and cause controversy.

All the Royals do need to remember that they are constantly in the public eye - the younger ones and a certain old one do tend to forget that alarmingly often.

If the Pakistanis didn't make such a big deal about this, then maybe we could all live together with a little more understanding. It is them that are dividing us And it's not going to get any better if they carry on with their prejudice against us.
GOBBINERS, GOBBINERS how dare you kate, that's disgusting, you have really hurt you feelings now, there will be a protest march leaving the Civic Theatre at 1pm Saturday, bring your own banner, destination the Lamp

Re: Prince Harry accused of racism

Well of course now its gone stupid, its been reported this morning that some terrorist are now after revenge for the dastardly deed, wonder if the self serving smug bottom feeding Editor of the NOTW just for one nanosecond thought of that inevitable aspect of his none store before he thought it was a good idea to make it a front page headline of his rag

Re: Prince Harry accused of racism

It's all relevant to varying situations, isn't it? Apparently Harry was talking to the queen on the phone one day and he ended the conversation by saying,

"Granny, I've got to go. Love to the corgis and grandpa. God save you."

Ooh, how irreverent. How dare he mock our sovereign like that? I demand an apology.

Oh no ! now an M.P. sticking in his oar ...

Agree with Magpie ... sick of the whole racist thing from this particular group jumping on at every opportunity.
well said Katex .this ramadhan foundation spokesman is short of a good kick in the pants or few of these

Re: Prince Harry accused of racism

I wonder why it is that HMG in all its forms refers to people of Bengladeshi origin (once known as East Pakistan) as Bengali but will not refer to people of Pakistan origin (once known as West Pakistan) origin as ****?

Bloody hell....the censors are busy tonight
