No surprises there then!!
So............ there is no proof that MI6 had carried out a 'hit' on Phil's orders!
I for one dont suppose that the average hit-man would be much good at his job if he were to leave a trail of evidence leading right back to his own front door, or that of Buck Palace!
The biggest surprise would have been if the coroner give a 'murder' verdict.
There may be a lack of evidence to back up all the conspiracy theories, but there certainly wont be a lack of questions left without satisfactory answers.
A future queen of our country died in, to say the least, odd circumstances and its taken 10 years to hold an inquest, with two coroners resigning from handling the case along the way - why?
The bodyguard who 'cant remember anything', agrees with the verdict!! how did that happen?
Perhaps governments get the conspiracy theorists that they deserve.

In A Perfect World: Here Could Be The News Headlines:
A file has been sent to the C.P.S after a verdict of unlawful killing was returned by the coroner investigating the death of Princess Diana.
There are reports that the arrests of high ranking members of an elite MI6 taskforce, along with The Queen and Prince Phillip are about to be carried out - it has to be said that these rumours are being hotly denied, but have instigated a media frenzy nonetheless/

Hypocritical Mass
Why has it taken the Olympics to bring the suffering of the Tibetan people so sharply into focus?
In the great scope of things, does Tibet differ from all the countries that have land occupied illegally by Israel?
It cant be denied that the behaviour of the Chinese gorvernment is appalling, but isnt it hypocritical of foreign sympathisers of the monks in Tibet, to demand world intervention in Chinese policies, whilst condemning intervention in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan?
The reaction worldwide to the situation there raises many questions and also highlights this hypocracy nicely.
If its not alright for anti-Iraq, anti Israel & G8 protesters to riot, why is it alright for Tibetan Monks?
If China asked the UN to send an envoy to the United States to plead for the freedom of Guantanamo Bay inmates, what would the response from Washington be?
Who are America and Britain to criticise the human rights record of other countries whilst blithely colluding in carrying out the conveniently forgotten 'extraordinary rendition' project.
Up is Down, Black is White, and nothing is what it seems…………
It must all come down to resources - which country has what mineral, which pipeline goes across who’s borders.
We measure human suffering and whether to do anything about it, by what’s in it for us. We have become experts in human bean-counting. The issue of Tibet scores brownie points for British M.P.'s, Burma has gas, Iraq has oil - Therefore if the people's of these countries want to revolt, we will help them.
Countries that have nothing or, have things we can do without (Zimbabwe) we will forget about or, at most, introduce a few meaningless sanctions to keep the more vocal critics happy. And so it goes on.
I think it was Orwell who said, 'in a time of universal deceit, one man speaking the truth is an act of revolution'? Presumably though, that is as long as 'one man' is speaking the truth about a government we don’t like - if he isn’t, he wont be heard.

Something In The Air
What is this recent obscession with perfume?
Endless ads, insulting the intelligence of every female on the planet, for room fresheners.
'Aroma' has become the new 'hygene' - if it smells nice, then it must to be clean!!
It seems that everything now has to smell of something other than what it is supposed to.
Carpets, fabrics, cars - fragrances to mask everything from pets to sweat - feet to fish. Armies of stepford wives convinced into paying a fortune on a weekly basis to make sure their loos arent talking about them behind their backs!
Not content with being harangued into spraying every orifice to mask anything resembling a natural bodily odour, now it seems, we are threatened with having it piped into the air conditioning units of shopping malls to assault our nostrils while we are out buying the very stuff we have to mask the smell of in the first place!
It seems its not enough that we have to have our ears battered with the same compilation cd's in every damn shop we go into, we will now have the indignity of being fumigated with 'tropical island' or 'summer freshness' or some other misnamed stench.

Boom Boom!
Look no further than the East Anglian Police's Hate Crimes unit, for a complete lack of logic in this world. They are currently to be found wasting valuable resources investigating an episode of Basil Brush, the scriptwriters of whom, saw fit to include a rather amusing piece on gypsies. This, in turn promted an angry response from a 'romany' spokesperson, who objected to the inference in the programme that it was a common habit amongst romany travellers to take items not belonging to them.
The irony being that at this moment in time, some 500 plus 'travellers' are illegally occupying - one could use the term 'stealing' - various pieces of privately owned land throughout East Anglia with the Police seemingly powerless to prosecute them.
Aside from anything else, why ARE they called 'travellers', when they seem to spend so much time fighting to stay static!
There is complete disregard for the law on our streets, the police have surrendered great swaths of the UK to local criminals and the only thing they can think of to get the 'crimes solved' figures up is to investigate a puppet fox!
It really is time that the Police were reminded, that they are public servants, and that they commanded more respect when they were a 'force' rather than a 'service'.

Too Many Secrets:
A controversial idea has been put before a secret government quango recently. Leaked documents show plans to give every person in the UK a super-disc with the private and confidential details of the entire population on it .
The idea is that once everyone knows everything about everybody else, the cost of keeping such information private will be considerably cut.
A minister was quoted as saying ‘we think it’s a marvellous idea - we will no longer be held responsible when information goes missing, and it will mean less bad publicity, something weve been trying to avoid for some time'.

D.N.A
George Orwell must be rotating quietly in his coffin.
All the scary bits from 1984 have either been welcomed with open arms, or treated with a good deal of apathy by the populace. Big Brother is alive, well and rather than having been forced on the people by an evil regime, has been introduced slowly, willingly and become accepted as inevitable.
It isnt enough that we are give a number at birth - under a rather clever scheme called 'school portraits' we then have yearly photos taken, logging our development and which our parents are then conned into actually paying for! (Has anyone out there actually met someone who works for one of these photographic companies?)
We are given a national insurance number when we leave school. We then fall over ourselves in the rush to apply for passports, driver's licences, buy cars with personalised registration plates and, now, tracking devices (purely for 'insurance purposes',you understand).
We are photographed in almost every street we walk in, along every motorway we drive on and in every public building we enter - and if that wasnt enough, we may end up with our D.N.A. stored on yet another database which will be farmed out to some private company anywhere in the world, for processing and possible misplacing when one of their employee's has his/her laptop stolen.
The possibilities for chaos will be endless. A stolen cigarette butt or hair placed at the scene of a crime will become a nightmare for someone wrongly accused - whilst making it relatively easy for real criminals to implicate a person they dont like and walk free from court on the grounds of 'reasonable doubt'.
And what of the people who hold this information? Can we ever really trust any government? What happens when we have a government we really know we can't trust? Who are the people who will have access to the databases. Worse still, who will be able to just simply buy them?
If an American company can be given DVLA data as happened in a recent scandal, just who else will be able to purchase or process all this new information?
We sit watching c.c.tv footage of yet more criminals committing crime while being filmed by camera's that they know are there - seemingly oblivious to the obvious irony.
We will accept ID cards because we are told that they will help in the fight against terror - and we will do that despite the fact that most of the suspected terrorists that have been apprehended in the UK & America have been bona fide citizens complete with passports.
Just what will it take to make ordinary people sit up and call a halt to this - will we accept cameras in our homes? Our telephones tapped? Or has the moment passed and its now too late to stop any of it?

In A Perfect World: Here Could Be The News Headlines:
Declining to give a reason why it hasn’t been done before, despite being in a position to do so,Gordon Brown & the UN have today announced that the poppy fields of Afghanistan have been completely destroyed in a combined American and British Forces operation.
The crops, said to be responsible for at least 60% of the drugs on British Streets alone, were crop sprayed with an organic weedkiller. The money that up until now has been spent peace keeping, policing the trade and supplying arms to the war-torn country, has instead been given in subsidies to the local farmers.
A debate on stiffer penalities for celeb addicts has been put on the back-burner
