Young Royals - out of touch, just do not care???
I have not seen a thread on this although there may well have been a discussion already.
The older Royals aside,
Commentary: Prince Harry's 'paki' comment needs to be put into context - Times Online
Prince Harrys P*k* comments - is it acceptable to use the word, does it matter who says it or what is meant by it?
For all i know our Prince charming might have a nickname along the lines of "Ginger ****" - although i do doubt it - i wonder if he has a nickname?
Is this about Harrys attitude or the Army's, or are we just to PC and sensitive?
Also
out of touch with reality?
Princess Beatrice's car stolen after she left keys in the lock - Telegraph
Her pride and joy apparently - i wonder if her insurance will cough up if she did leave it with the keys in the ignition...

Out of touch with whom? I would say that he is well in touch with his peer group (no pun intended) from Eton etc in terms of his language and attitudes.

I have no interest in the Royals. So what they do, or what they say is of no importance.
More important things going on in the world than `Arry` calling someone a `Paki`

The Royals are little more than a tourist attraction for the UK these days.
If anything they're not scandalous enough - they used to do interesting things like cut each other heads off, and give their servants syphilis.
Is Prince Harry's outburst really what passes for royal scandal in modern times. Pathetic!

Because it has been used as a derogatory term for years against Asians from Pakistan and India. That is why. Some may argue for and against it, but I have only explained why "Paki" word is/was taken as offensive. Its up to the individual how to take it.

On a previous thread regarding the use of the word my post was neg'd for comparing Brit, Scot, Pole etc. to P*k*.
No doubt this post will too LOL
I see it's had as much air time as Israeli troops going into Gaza.
It's actually quite funny how many times News 24 has used the word and played Harry using the word.
The royals are definately out of touch though.

I think it's a slow news week non-story followed by a press-induced feeding frenzy, just like the Ross/Brand fiasco and the dogs-savaging-kids hysteria and the ""We're all going to die of SARS" bollocks" and the "We're all going to die of Bird Flu" bollox. Ad nausaeam.
