You’re a Paki, he’s a Brit and I’m an Aussie – so what’s the problem…?

I suppose the UK has been short of a good ‘race row’ for a while so let’s all heap it onto Prince Harry while the mood’s on us eh…?

That’s the nonsence coming out of sections of the British media today and shame on them and shame on anyone who swallows such crap. So the guy called a fellow cadet, a good mate of his, a ‘Paki’so flaming what !!!

This happened three years ago during a training stint and it was all in good humour. The other fellow was not offended and why should he be? ‘Paki’ is short for Pakistani just as ‘Brit’ is short for British, Scots for Scottish, Aussie for Australian, Yank for American…I’m not offended to be called an Aussie – for petes sake have some people lost all sense of reason these days?

It seems that people now are so ready and willing to be ‘offended’ that it is rampant in the UK – and now of course the Muslim leaders there are jumping on the ‘I’m offended too’ bandwagon as Harry referred to a ‘make believe’ member of the Taliban as a ‘raghead’.  Personally I can think of far better words for those terrorists; bastards, cold blooded murderers, fanatical lunatics…

Prince Harry was in training when this happened – training that had to be pretty damn harsh given the loony fruitcakes he and his fellow officer cadets would be fighting against in Iraq and Afghanistan. So what is the message – you can shoot at them but you cannot call them names…?

The Army has to produce soldiers able to kill and they are fighting people who have nothing but hatred and contempt for the rest of the world – producing a bunch of politically correct nancy-boys might satisfy the screaming Liberal Elite but what a pathetic state of affairs it has come to now that Harry has had to apologise for something said in passing THREE YEARS AGO.

I wonder how many of ‘the offended’ are willing to take his uniform, step into his shoes and go and do the job that he has done so well since then.

Don’t forget this war is supposed to be about anti-terror and democracy - two things that Great Britain has itself lost it’s grip on in recent years.
