Harry's 'Fun' Side

Did Prince Harry get it wrong by stripping off? Would he have done it if he knew he would be photographed if he did so? Were his minders lacking in common sense in not insisting all cameras and mobile 'phones were left outside his room - probably? Boys will be boys and no harm has been done by the third in line to the throne by showing his rear end and it is difficult to understand what all the fuss is about. There is one area though about which we should all be concerned and that is the effect of the Leveson enquiry on all the newspapers - that effect being to inhibit them from publishing the pictures despite the fact that many of us had seen them online. There was one exception, which was the Sun. I do not for one minute accept the reason they gave for publishing the photos, that there was a public interest issue involved, but I applaud the much needed two fingers they gave Leveson by doing so as well as their clear commercial reason. If Leveson's report suggests some kind of privacy law then it must be ignored. We really can't have the likes of Hugh Grant tell us what can and cannot be published anymore than we can have a politician do so. There are libel laws and the wealthy can take advantage of them. It seems Cameron does not believe anything was wrong in Harry being Harry anyway. A friend of mine's son was  staying near the Camerons in Cornwall over the weekend and on running into him asked what he thought about Harry and the photos. Cameron replied with a huge grin "No comment", which to me says it all. Cameron anyway has more serious matters to worry about than Harry's photos, the conflicted Yeo and Deben for one. They must be forced to resign from their climate change positions if they wish to continue as directors and shareholders of companies directly benefitting or likely to benefit from government subsidies. With the US and Germany using shale gas and coal respectively to keep their power stations going when wind produced electricity is unavailable (most of the time) we must do the same to ensure we are competitive. This is now an urgent issue and Cameron should seize the moment and get rid of the third rate Ed Davey in his reshuffle and replace him with someone who supports Lawson's views on the global warming subject.
