Then I worked out that we were only doing it this way because a) it gave Howard the best shot at defeating it, and b) the latte set were so happy to be doing something (’really meaningful’)quickly that they didn’t notice (or perhaps were too stupid to notice in the first place) that they were getting stitched up.

Indeed. Howard played that one brilliantly. And people like Turnbull couldn’t see the trees for their own ego.

‘Personally I reckon the Republic is inevitable. And I think we should take a looong time to design it.’
Amen to that. I couldn’t believe last time how we were going to rush out this dandy republic that wouldn’t change anything at all of our largely unwritten system of government…my arse!

Actually, it’s called “having a clue”, period.

I might be wrong John, but I reckon you have an aristo festish.

Yeah. The whole system is based on the assumption that this people are gonna get wiped out on a regular basis. That’s not happening. As a result chinlessness is on the increase in the human species.

Indeed. And the last of the Spencers who was much chop was the daughter of the 1st Earl who married the 5th Duke of Devonshire, thus becoming the inimitable Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. The whole clan had become horridly bedint by the time the 8th Earl Spencer started reproducing.

Will they next make him a KC – King’s Counsel?
.
Considering his ~~inbred ineptitude~~ intellectual pedigree the British government should consider it a matter of national security that he not be able to keep his own counsel at any cost.

Sorry don’t like the Battenburgs. Ethnic rivalry. They keep wearing the Tartan and they’re a bunch of bloody Germans!

If we had to have Germans why couldn;t we have talented ones?

Actually Adrien the reverse is the case. William should not be permitted to become a barrister becasue barristers are apllying HIS laws – the Crown’s. Will they next make him a KC – King’s Counsel? Why would royalty agree to such a bourgeois honorarium in the first place?

As I said the only people who should worry are those who hire solicitors who then brief Wills to represent them in court!

I think being a barrister makes you a member of a certain club that has a certain power irrespective of one’s abilities. William should not be entitled to become a barrister simply because he’s the Crown Prince’s crown prince. It’s a relic of feudalism.

I should not be too incensed at the injustice of Prince William being an honorary barrister. As I said the only people who should worry are those who hire solicitors who then brief Wills to represent them in court!

Still, I’d rather have Wills defend my DUI than Professor Dr. Lowitja O’Donohue operate on my pancreas!
