'urry up 'arry, come on

The defence secretary, John Reid, has demanded an investigation after a newspaper reporter walked around the grounds of Sandhurst where Prince Harry is a cadet, and built a fake bomb.

Isn't that brilliant. The place where the cream of the British Army are based and where the third in line to the throne is training to be cannon fodder is entered by a Sun reporter on fake credentials, who then builds a 'bomb' out of plasticine and sticky-backed plastic.

There was some po-faced old git, Major Buffton-Tuffton or something on the wireless this morning, moaning at how the media should report the news not make the news, totally missing the point that army security being crap surely is news. And it's funny. Well, I'm laughing anyway.
