Skyrad 0 #1 March 8, 2011 Following allegations about his acquaintance with an American paedophile should Prince Andrew step down from his position as a UK trade envoy? Personally I don’t think he should as one thing has nothing to do with the other, he costs us around 4 million a year but helps bring in millions more every year in this unpaid position. As for spending time with an American kiddy fiddler I’m sure that he has to do business with many morally abhorrent individuals as part of his role as trade envoy, after all we do business with some rather vile types (for the greater good of course).When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

nigel99 650 #4 March 8, 2011 Exactly. What a lot of the media seem to miss is that a great number of tourists come to the UK specifically because of the Queen and royalty. It is not like we are a beach resort. I personally think that it is a huge pity that parliament has modernised their dress code over the past 10 years. I think that politicians in fancy dress was quite entertaining.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.
