Democratic Britain: whereby Prince Charles' letters to government officials banned


"The Prince of Wales is party political neutral. Moreover it is highly important that he is not considered by the public to favour one political party or another." Dominic Grieve, Attorney General.

The attorney general's decision to block the publication of Prince Charles' letters to senior governmental officials makes a huge mockery of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. In fact the move is similar to those found in autocratic regimes, with a poor democracy track record.

Dominic Grieve in his statement said Prince Charles' letters, popularly known in Whitehall as the black spider memos (a  nod to ones scrawling write style which resembles spider legs) were of a "particularly  frank" nature which if revealed, could "undermined his position of political neutrality".

And there you have the riddle of the  great mysterious royal letters, revealed. Is one safe to assume His Neutral Highness has been meddling in affairs of the state?

Oh what would Nana Lizzy say!
You have been a very naughty Prince, and must now be relegated to the back of the stairs obscured from public view. One must now get  ready for kingship.

Dominic Grieve's pretty wordings appears to be nothing more than a shield, protecting Prince Charles and the Royal family, from a tumultuous year of scandals. First the naked prince, then the naked princess and now the potential naked thoughts of a prince?

One must do all in their power, to protect ones modesty.
