Re; Councillor Don Thomas letter of 16th January 2009.
FIRST of all, I'd like to know how old he is, so that we can gain what experience he has had of the Royal family.
I served King and Queen and country for 24 years, in the Royal Navy and will NEVER EVER fail to support the Royal family.
To say that Prince Harry caused it to be racist and offensive to abbreviate and called a friend and fellow officer as a P…. instead of a Pakistani is ridiculous.
What about my Australian friends being called Aussies, in response to being called a Pommie Bastard!!
We as English citizens have a fantastic sense of humour and people must be made aware of this and accept it.
We would call someone with the surname of White, Snowy or Chalky. What if that person was coloured?
For God's sake, give and take Name and address supplied.
