Make no mistake, I despise the whole idea of "royalty". It's a pointless, expensive, anachronistic nonsense.
However, when our nation's highly respected opinion formers and thoroughly virtuous moral guides (aye, right!) start using tactics which amount to entrapment and which even the police can't use, I have to conclude that even Fat Fergie the Fatuous or even Thick Eddie is the moral superior of any member of this country's press.
For the promise of $500,000, about the only think I wouldn't agree to do is eat my own young.
