Harry Headhunter

So, eventually Prince Harry had his way and got ten weeks in some dusty sandpit in southern Helmand in Afghanistan. Some recreation, it seems… he appears happy as a lark on the extensive footage shown since the story broke.

Was it more than a photo opportunity, really, and a PR gimmick for the royal family? It would be hard to convince me otherwise! Footage shows him firing a machine gun into the wastelands and walking around with all the familiar gear we are used to by now – every step shadowed by TV photographers.

And once the story broke, the media goes absolutely silly! Right now, when Harry has been pulled out and is expected back in Britain at noon, TV is reporting live from an empty airport, telling us that Harry will arrive there in an hour or so…

Nonsense news: BBC News 24 reporting live every 15 minutes from an empty airport hours before Prince Harry is due to arrive.

But the question everybody wants answered is of course never asked: How many stuffed Taleban heads is Harry bringing home as trophies?

    • My mission – I nerver really thought about it like that! – is to tell the truth regardless of what people say. <<<usually they don't send me kisses – death threaths are more common.
