So the News of the World has done it again, with a pretty magnificent investigative scoop. Following in the footsteps of Princess Michael of Kent, and the Countess of Wessex, Sarah Ferguson becomes another royal for the NoW to add to its investigative CV. And another video makes its way on to Queenie and co’s blooper reel.
While I am not sure why anyone would want to pay £500k to hang out with Prince Andrew, but I can definitely see a good idea emerging from this trend. Instead of the taxpaying public funding the monarchy, why don’t we leave it to for the royals themselves to pay their keep? Dodgy deals, underground introductions – better than us paying 70p each year to keep them in swan pie and golden toilet paper. We could then channel that money back in to the country! It seems a fantastic way to prop up our finances rather than scrap child trust funds. All in favour?
Elsewhere in the land, some people are paying for their errors of judgement – and their lies – with more punitive measures. Perhaps Dr Wakefield could get a job in the cosmetics and beauty industry: boswellox and pro-retinol A are almost certainly not linked to autism, but they sounds as scientifically credible as Wakey’s findings.
Finally, how could I not mention that man has created synthetic life? Well, because I find the thought a little scary, although it’s not quite littledog yet. But really it’s because I am too busy contemplating a world in which Nick Griffin’s fizzog isn’t on the tv as much. Waiting three years seems a bit excessive, but perhaps by then we’ll be in a position to create synthetic party leaders with all the motor skills and charisma of littledog. It might just be an improvement!
