Why this Blog?

A place where I can lament the changing times; for eccentric comments on current affairs and for unfashionable views, expressed I hope, in cogent style; also occasional cris de coeur largely concerned, I regret to say, with myself.

Prince Harry and the Taliban

Prince Harry has today been reported as making some rather unprofessional remarks concerning his time in Afghanistan as a co-pilot/gunner in an Apache helicopter.

Accordingly the Taliban, via an anonymous spokesman has described the prince as 'cowardly.'

The same un-cowardly Taliban who demonstrated their courage and bravery in shooting 14-year-old schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai for campaigning for education for girls?  Oh! that was the the Pakistani Taliban, so that's all right then.

Tragicomical.

Until the next time
