What really upsets me is the Sun and the ScrewsHeadline of Screws: 'I'M NO HERO But I'm f**king p**sed off'
Oh yes Harry - you're so brave you must be so disappointed, and you're the only soldier ever to go out there and you're defending your country and not an over-privelidged illegitimate member of the most expensive work-shy chavs in the country at all, are you?
Diddums.
What upsets me further is that people actually buy into it instead of questioning the excellent blackout job the press did for 10 months.
/slavering self-righteous sanctimonious worthless crap

SadlyThe Guardian (I presume) were in on it too, and kept their gobs shut.
It doesn't make anyone look good, this, and shows us exactly how vulnerable we are to the manipulation of the press.
They'll be claiming Diana died in an RTA next.

I'm torn here.I'm all for freedom of the press, but if it's actually going to put soldiers at a greater risk, then can you justify reporting it?

I agree with that.But, given the situation, I think the press have probably done the right thing.

See - luckily they can't win with me.I'm far too whiny.
Either they sent him out there to get him offed as he's so obviously Hewitt's son, or
They sent him out there for a few months to shut him up and then "broke" the story as an excuse to get him back.

I'm sure he's a lovely chap.Though why he should live a multi-million pound lifestyle at the taxpayer's expense for doing an average junior officer's job is beyond me.

Because that's what's happened for the past hundreds and hundreds of years?If you were offered that kind of lifestyle just because your dad's your dad, would YOU say no? I certainly wouldn't.

for 29p a year they strike me as fairly good valuehave you never had the urge to whip out your box brownie when on an exotic holiday and snap away at a local tribal chief or his/her house or palace. think of liz and the gang as our tribal chief and the cost is pretty negligible really.

It's not the fact that it costs me money that I particularly object to.It's more that it's given to people who don't need/deserve it.
Maybe I should just become a communist and have done with it.

god only knows how much a communist leader costs to keep runningand i bet those communist palaces take a bit of heating, and the party must cost a few bob in stationary. also they do tend to demand a fair bit of fawning to.
the only real difference if you're lucky, is you get to choose a new one every now and then.
