They had the ****ing gall to read this at the christening: "It seems that different forms of ambition are hard-wired into almost all of us. At a baptism our ambitions are rightly turned into hopes and prayers for the child, today for Princess Charlotte. Everyone wants something for their children. At our best we seek beauty, not necessarily of form, but of life. "In the reading from Matthew 18, Jesus is trying to turn one kind of ambition - an ambition for place and prestige - into an ambition for a beautiful life. To be great in the Kingdom of Heaven, he tells his very pushy disciples, is not about position but about beauty of life, a life that looks like his; and his example is someone unimportant in those days: a child.
BTW is Prince Phil helping out the Greeks? Heard a funny skit on Radio Scotland last week where Phil was outside Buck Palace taking 2 euros for a photie with a monkey; all proceeds to Greece.
The pisser is though that before austerity normal punters like you and I would simply have gone on to Amazon and bought our own royal baby. Now we have to live vicariously through theirs (it was bad enough G having our living vicariously through Gerry and Baz phases, but this is one step beyond).
^^^^ Moses is pished. For the first time on GC he's pished. Welcome to the GC Pish Club. Formative member: Gambol Other grandees include everyone on here.
They would still lap it up if we were in the same mire as Greece. The Press (HM Publicity Machine) would tell everyone who cared to listen (and who were stupid enough) that all Royal news is a fillip to society in general, and that all Royal babies are newsworthy. It's bunkum, only imbeciles are interested.
