Interesting side note: the fifer at Lexington played a tune called The White Cockade, a Jacobite tune, to annoy the troops of the Hanoverian.

When I say he's not an Englishman, I mean it in the sense, though, that when he spouts drivel like "defender of the faiths" instead of "defender of the faith" he's essentially arguing that every faith and every cultural tradition have equal value. They don't. If the prince, as an emblem of English rights doesn't see the difference between Sharia and western due process, he's not fit to claim the title of an Englishman, much less the crown.

As such, we don't take him seriously and nor should you.

Rather, please regard him as you would an eccentric relative who has a plan to build a perpetual motion machine or believes the CIA is using microwaves to read his mind.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Yours sincerely, Ivan

ROFL Okay, Ivan, will do, just so you guys ignore Bill Clinton when he comes a-calling. Thanks.

I read that Scotland Yard was tailing Mrs Simpson. They knew that she was doing her chauffer because the King, being a royal, was one lousy f*ck.

They knew that telling the King would end the abdication crisis but they didn't. Stanley Baldwin was well pleased to be rid of Edward "There's not a drop of blood in my veins that isn't German" Windsor.

In a real way I detect an enormous self pity in Charles.

Charles was raised in an era when the British monarchy was expected to embody stiff upper lip, iron self control, emotionally dead Victorian public school values. It takes a tremendous amount of emotional deprivation (like removing maternal love from his childhood) to produce a cold fish like Prince Charles. But all along he was told that it was his duty so suck it up and dry your eyes.

But what does he find ? People loved the Diana who wore her heart on her sleeve and they didn't love him. Maybe he had been raised to embody values that nobody wanted or believed in anymore. Maybe all that emotional deprivation and unhappiness was for nothing.

Charles strikes me as a man who feels cheated, betrayed. He was sold a bill of goods all his life and it was for nothing.

Agreed but you do realize that the House of Lords extends Blasphemy protections only to The Church Of England . Defender of "THE" faith is ONLY Anglicanism . The Baptists / Pentecostals / Catholics / Muslims / Hindu's / Jews etc etc are all part of the "other" faiths

I'm not all that sure that your average Muslim is gonna be all that happy having an adulterous bonehead who wanted to be reincarnated as his mistress's feminine protection pleading their case.

Are you kiddin ? .. He's an allah sent spokesperson for them !

He's such a useful idiot for the Islamist cause. The Muslims couldn't care one whit about the 'enviornment'. Charles, while decrying captialism and technology could never comprehend life w/out it nor would never want to live it. That, would be for 'the little people'.

"Of course to be accurate, one must point out that Bush Jr. didn't just hold hands with "Prince" Abdullah, he also applied his lips, the lips of the male President of the United States, to Abdllah's cheek."

A diplomatic bow would have been sufficient.

Ivan, could you please elaborate how the United Kingdom´s citizens can avoid to bow their heads for "Camillas tampon" as the King other than letting His Royal Highness preceeding Her Majesty the Queen?

Me thinks, if he was allowed it, the Prince of Wales would join the Green Party. I mean, not enough that his main hobbie are doing agriculturing and riding horses (outside and inside the bedroom), but his political views are "strange".

Noted and appreciated. Maybe Camilla's husband is angling to get her in a burqa...an idea of considerable merit.

Mr Charley Windsor should get a bloody job. I am sure there is a stable somewhere that needs cleaning or a horse that requires a good curry-combing and that those two tasks are within his capabilities.

While he's about it he might get his mother and her every other issue jobs, too. And his dead whore's issue, too.

God knows that she and he and they and every other member, from Idi Amin and Harry Lee and Kim Il Jung to Vladimir Putin and Saddam Hussayne and Tiny Blair, of every one of the world's self-annointed and self-perpetuating artificial "aristocracies" is a bloody obscenity who has fattened himself and has become materially wealthy on government privilege while simultaneously being morally and as often as not intellectually insolvent.

Fitting though that Sufi Charley will one day be the little limey losers' "king" thing.

The dead and decadent and doomed Euro-peon Neo-Soviet's offshore satellite state's squalidly-socialistic sheeples' sheykh? Of once great Britarabia?

Ah, yes. The three Christian teenage girls. God rest their souls. I hope Charles doesn't run into some folks I know who were at the World Trade Center that day. They would rip him apart if he starts telling them about the wonders of Islam!

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS ON ISLAM:

An excellent post you have made here. Nothing has changed. To an intelligent man, Islam was a disgusting religion then, and it still is today. Religion of peace, my *ss.

"I am fed up with Islam - we are being told constantly an absolute raft of lies about how it's a religion of peace and we must be tolerant. Well, people from Islamic countries come to the West to live in our societies of their own free will - where is their responsibility to support the country which shelters them? Where is their responsibility to be pro-active about threats to this country?"

Someone should drag the Prince of Wales to revisit families of those who died in London on 7/7 terrorist attacks.

I think Westminster has the ultimate say in deciding who can be put on the throne. If the Prince of Wales slips up (like converting to Islam), or if he dies in some sort of freak accident (hint: many people claim that the MI5 will be so expert on covert operations that no one will ever know what they actually did), or the Queen sets up a parliament-approved will that the throne passes to William instead.

If the Queen lives to be 100, the chance is Charles could be bed-ridden ill at that time and William could be a Regent in that case.

Don't know if it's been mentioned here yet, but is it a coincidence that today Queen Liz dedicated a memorial to the most recent bombing victims? And chucky chose to be here, pleading the Islamic case?

Usually royal engagements need months in preparation, and I;m willing to cut some slags on him. In addition, not all members of the royal family will join in engegements of such scale (unlike major ones like Final victory iN WOT) - this is what the protocols dictate.

Still, it is an immense insensitivity for Prince Charles to mention about "tolerance" in light of what the Queen is attending.
