Media feeding frenzy... YAWN !

Quite simply may I suggest to all of them that they sit down on their fat behinds and actually read what the change in policy is likely to do to them for the future and then come back to the fray suitably informed.

OK now on to specifics. Taking Thursday's paint slinging attack on Prince Charles' and his wife's car.

I noticed that over the following 24 hours the crime went from paint throwing, to paint throwing and a cracked window to paint throwing and a smashed window.

If the royal family are travelling around (aka a Purple Movement in the trade) in a vehicle with non-reinforced or bullet proof glass than my flabber is completely ghasted!

But lets assume that the glass damage was a bit of press bovine excretion.

So what do we have?

We have paint thrown over a vehicle. Now that's a crime no matter who, if anyone, was in the car.

If we're going to get twitchy about it being a member of the royals then perhaps firstly the planned route to the variety performance shouldn't have taken them within a mile of where the demo was due to occur and secondly what the hell were the police doing letting whoever threw the paint get that close to a royal vehicle?

But over and above all this where if anywhere was the new coverage of the protesters attacking the police with anything they could lay their hands on? Where was the news coverage and follow up of the police officers who were stretchered off, in one case after having been hauled from atop his horse?

No the only real coverage referred to the student who suffered head injuries in the fracas and now he seems to be recovering the media need further things to be outraged about......

Only this time they've sort of changed horses in midstream.

Todays point of entry is that a student climbed up the cenotaph and swung from the flag.

Yes it shows disrespect and - oh ho - he's the son of a famous father (although what that has to do with it beats me ).

However the boys statement that he didn't know what the cenotaph represented, whilst possibly being a lie, wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be true.

And why?

Because this blasted country and consecutive governments have gone out of their way to ensure that we no longer have any history that we are allowed to feel pride over.

It's becoming more and more apparent that every other nation in the world can express pride in their history but not so the English.

Yes I mean the English since the Scottish, Welsh and Irish are proud to be who they are without their respective assemblies telling them it's wrong.

So since the teaching of British History is regarded as a sociological anathema lest it upsets even the smallest minorities of the world would it be truly that amazing to find that young Master Gilmour actually did have no idea what the cenotaph represented?

I think not.
