In My New Role as Royal Correspondent...

... I predict Prince William and his girlfriend, Kate Middleton, will break up. Good grief, they just have. Amid widespread protests from other former royal partners, the Palace has given Kate a special dispensation to sell her story to the News of the World. She will reveal that she spent much of her time blindfolded in a room with Prince Philip, who repeatedly cocked a variety of automatic weapons. In a moving statement,Tony Blair says Kate was 'very much the people's royal girlfriend.' A spokesman for the paparazzi said, 'Nuffink to do wiv us, squire.'

  1. Guy from The Sun just said of the break-up, 'It IS amicable.' Good word 'amicable'.

  2. The BBC have this at the top of the bulletin, and this the day that the NATIONAL is run. One just has to wonder.

  3. The pompous former royal correspondent of the Daily Mirror (that's how the BBC described him anyway) James Whittaker has just been on TV. He said Kate was more in love with the idea of being a princess than she was with William - just like Diana was. Where does a blasted idiot like him get his daft ideas from?

  4. Any info on the weapons themselvs for any gun-nuts out here? I agree Blair is wonderful at those incredibly moving performances of being incredibly moved. Embarrassing false toadiness admittedly, but he's obviously giving 110%.

  5. Talking of the National. I note that there is a horse running with the magnificent name of Simon.

    Our wish has come true.

  6. I think the problem was that Prince William was cocking weapons in rooms that didn't contain Kate.

  7. With wording like that, Blair should have his own tabloid column.

  8. Reading Brothers Karamazov at teh moment, and who knows in the mystery of consciousness whether there's a connection or not, but I felt compelled to give credit where due. I think the image of Prince Philip, the blindfold and the automatic weapons is possibly your finest blog moment- genuinely brilliant and vicious.

  9. It's not bad, Bryan. If only Dostosvky had a little more courage of his convictions instead of hedging his intellectual, spiritual bets, he could genuinely amount to something.

  11. Checking the gossip columns today, I note that William's friends were constantly making fun of poor Kate because she was, *gasp*, middle class. I assume that means she is not descended from a gang of in-bred half-wits.
