The more I read about this story the crosser I'm getting. This morning the jist of the story was that Prince Harry might not go to Iraq because of the extra risk he'd pose for his colleagues. What? Because if he didn't go, his battalion would be welcomed with flowers and cake like our troops are at the moment? Then we were told that his capture would give the Iraqi resistance a valuable propaganda tool. Because the US didn't milk the capture of Saddam at all did it. No sireebob, just a one line press release sufficed on that particular joyous leap forward in operation Iraqi Freedom. There were no videos of his capture; nothing of him being humiliated by US doctors in contravention of the Geneva Convention. We, the 'allies', set a good example back then didn't we? I was proud for sure.

Then it was 'but think if he was to be killed'. Yes. Thought about it. Thought of the hundreds of UK servicemen and women who have already died in this illegal, immoral war whose relations don't live in a fucking palace. Still don't get why this particular ginger twat who, let's face it is only vaguely related to the royal family shouldn't go to to Iraq and do his job.

Can anyone enlighten me?

At least, for once the British public haven't let me down. On the BBC poll 68% think he should go. You're all my best mates.

Only story that has made me angrier recently is this one

Blair defiant over Iraq security

Tony Blair has refused to apologise for the security situation in Iraq, saying he bears no responsibility for it.

Words really do fail me.
