22:5683861just to clarify to people that have seen this item on the news tonight, posh barry is safe and well.
his press secretary has informed me that his masseur(miss whiplash) is attending to his aristocratic needs.
we will all sleep well in our beds tonight.

19:5783973i must admit to seeing the irony of the situation.
judging by the look on their faces they must have felt the same dread as those foxes they have slaughtered for fun all their lives.

21:1983986Do you all mean that criminal damage to a car is acceptable if the occupants are royals? Off with all your heads!

21:5183991Criminal damage is never acceptable.
The group that attacked this car obviously didn't realise who was inside. Prince Charles was once a student himself and would obviously realise at a personal level the implications of paying higher tuition fees. If this policy was in place when he went to university, he may well not have bothered and just gone out and got a job.

22:2484002Ok, I admit that I don't like them and they are an anachronism but I can't excuse the stupidity of sending them in a "posh" car through rioting students.

23:5284032DTI,
Are you taking the P**s?? To say that that plant lecturing oaf prince Charles would realise what it would mean to pay tuition fees?? is inconceviable. The man may live in Britian but that is as far as it goes
he has no contact with the real world never has and never will. Perhaps last nights incident may give him a jolt but it wont take him long to assume his air of concete for the rest of the unwashed out there. As for his lovely wife forget it.

09:2584044So for the majority of you posting it was OK to attack the couple in their posh car because they come from such a privilieged background.
I know I would have been terrified but it is OK for them so they can get a "reality check". Shame on you.

09:4684050There is a point being made about why the car used was used in the first place, why the window was open, why they took that route, and of course it will be areality check, but lets be honest in hope we all agree we dont agree with violence where ever it may come.

15:2584074Totally agree with Keith here (that's a first!).
Jan and Barry - I never said it was ok to attack the car.

im sure we agree on many issues if we ever sat down and discussed the many issues that go on around us.
We never got to the bottom of the issue on hot dog van and your personal objections.
but getting back to the thread, violence anywhere should be condemned
