BRITAIN'S Prince Charles has cited the Mumbai shantytown setting for the film "Slumdog Millionaire'' as a role model for sustainable living in Western cities, a report said Saturday.
The 61-year-old heir to the British throne writes in a new book being published next week that the Dharavi slum is better and more instinctively organised than many Western towns, London's Daily Telegraph said.

The comment made by Prince Charles is similiar to those made by American actors who praise Fidel Castro and Cuban-style communism.
Like Prince Charles (who’ll never ever live in that slum), these American actors will never take up residence in Cuba and live like most Cuabns do.

I saw the movie so long ago, but weren’t the kids brutalized and disfigured so they could “earn” more money...and weren’t young kids used as sex slaves???? Is he utterly sick?
To: Piefloater
When I see the prince turn Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle into a Slumdog shanty town, then I’ll believe he’s serious. Until then, he’s just firing up the crowd.

Good. Maybe he can move there and live while donating his fortune to those who want to get the hell out.

The man is quite mad. Did he eat paint chips as a child? I notice that he has not chosen to live in any of England’s slums, let alone biff off to India and live in one of their slums.

This is a guy who is so pampered, he’s got a staffer who holds the paper cup when he gives a urine sample. Looks like he’s been drinking it . . .

The only thing Prince Charles ever did in his life is find a good tailor but someone did that for him.
What is so weird is his mother is essentially German and his father is greek and austrian.
Sort of like are little muslim kenyan marxist.
