Isn't this getting a bit boring now?

As if yet another prime time weekend show fronted by Ant & Dic wasn't bad enough, I understand the highlight of ITV's weekend will be an interview with a rather whingey, highly privileged, publicity shy ginger haired guy? A guy who was so publicity averse that he emigrated with his family to keep them out of the public eye but now finds it convenient to plug his ghost written biography as a follow up to his self publicising 6 part revelatory series on a popular streaming channel? Do we really need to know that his older brother had a bigger bedroom when they were boys, or pushed him over so that he got scratches on his back.

Think it's time to wish the guy and his family the very best of luck in their new life in the States, but, for goodness sake, please just leave us to get on with our lives at a difficult time for all those of us not lucky enough to have the same advantages!

Rant over!

Not sure they are caravanners, DD, so it probably won't worry them too much!

Until their money runs out and they are guests on Caravaner of the year

I didn’t know that soldiers kept a tally of the number of people they had killed

I believe quite a few fighter pilots did in WW2. For infantry it’s almost certainly much more difficult, even if they wanted to. However, in the case in question the Apaches gun cameras, replayed during debriefs, make it more obvious, even if he wasn’t counting.

Being unpopular with the Taliban makes him a good guy in my book or would we sooner have soldiers they like?

Trouble is if they go after him with a suicide bomber a lot of other folk who he might be meeting are going to be affected as well. Much better if he had kept his mouth shut.

Absolutely right, Steve - he will doubtless be well protected, it's the softer targets the terrorists are likely to focus on.

It is nothing to do with being unpopular but remarks like that may aid what is termed as radicalisation of people already here and growing up in living the UK to make attacks on home soil. It has happened.

His remarks could taint everyone in the UK and beyond. After he is a Prince of the realm as those remarks could then be viewed as being said or held by of all of us.

It is literally a textbook method on how to recruit such people here at home, it has been done like this already, as been said by various people it puts all of us at possible further risk.

All school, college...staff (including support and anyone having contact with students, cooks even) are required by law to have Prevent training to address this issue.

This is a very serious issue and shouldn’t be trivialised. It was an extremely irresponsible comment by Harry who we would expect to know better.
