They say the first casualty of war is the truth.
Following the 'revelations'that young mr. Gotha was 'serving' in Afghanistan, i have tried to make sense of the whole episode.
Many Brits have fallen hook, line and sinker for the palace spin that Harry served and that it was leaked by Bild, Drudge and an Aussie women's magazine.
Excuse me if i don't buy this bullshit, i believe we have been lied to start to end.
The inordinate coverage has perplexed many, there were special news events by SKy, BBC, ITN which meant the coalition government agreement in Nairobi got less than 5 minutes coverage. It is also a shame that the British press colluded with the palace, MOD and government to censor the news that Gotha was serving in Afghanistan.
What we got instead was highly edited propaganda of the young man allegedly doing his job: Coordinating flight movements; playing rugger with Fijians; Hanging out with Gurkha warriors et al.
The British press should be ashamed of itself for sinking to a new low. What else are the so called journalists sitting on? What else have they censored in conjunction with the government? Pathetic.
Finally, i just think the whole episode disgusted me. I am appalled that such coverage can get so much press devotion whilst the injured soldiers, poorly equipped brave soldiers fighting in a war they cannot win get so little attention.
Has the press covered the PTSD and other mental health problems suffered by the brave service men and women? Yet, the 'holiday' service of a rich, spolit, nazi uniform wearing twat gets wall to wall coverage for days.
Basta!
