Prince Harry has been filmed calling another soldier a Paki,and using the term "raghead",he was aso filmed making a mock phone call to granny,saying something like "yea bye,god save you"
A phd from the prince Phillip PR acedemy is in the post presumably.
Btw,the cameraman was............himself. ::)

I don't find anything offensive about those, as long as said soldier knew him well enough to know no offensive intended (of course, if offence was intended, thats different).
Within my small team at work we have Asians, Arabics, South Africans, and 2 suspected shirt lifters.... ....you should hear some of the things we call each other - no offense intended or taken. The do-gooders usually report one of us regularly, but the complaint goes nowhere, as the 'victim' isn't the slightest bit worried about it, knowing there is no macilious intent.
Saying that, a prank went badly wrong on Friday - hacked one of the suspected gays personal website (illegal, I know) into a gay dating site, and secretly told all his aquiantances the url ;). No issue with that, just got the abuse when he found out, but then I got the blame for a genuine site about a 'difficult' subject that just happened to be a (non techical) colleges name, and she thought it was a spoof site about her..... .....I'll have to sort out the aftermath of that on Monday :o

i dont believe he said it in a rascist tone. hes no different from anyone else. one of my best m8s is indain, we call him a paki c**t sometimes in jest and wog, he really doesnt care and laughs at it, he calls us white w*****s. he cheers on anyone but england at sport to wind us up, we do the same. but its private between m8s. have great respect for the man, we go out with the kids now and then. doesnt matter what you do or say in this country, the media will make it 10 times worse than what it is. it sells papers. leave the man alone i say.

Spot on TB as long as no offence is intended or taken then there shouldn't be a problem with this issue.

It is nothing to do with us, the papers, the politians - nobody but the people involved.

Totally agree. I heard on the news it was 2006. Bloody papers must be struggling for stories on the royal family to go digging that far back. Unless someone is on the make.

What pi88es me off is that they are Paki's, they are from Pakistan so whats the problem? We are Brits? we would call someone from Australia an Aussie so what is the difference????
This racist thing has got out of control.. probably fancy getting a pay out >:(
If they don't like it here, break off.....

the way i see it is..........
leave the poor lad alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he is out doing good for our country ( as do all those in the forces and key jobs throughout the uk)
he is going to say stuff that IMO upset some but he ment nothing by it. if his mate does not find it offensive then whats wrong with it.
i get call ginge, ginger, etc at work and it dont bother me!
i am getting sick of the politics of this country. >:( >:(
its a free country and your ment to beable to say what you like....or can you?
oh and to add one thing the hetrosexual british male is now in the minority and at the bottom of every list for anything and everything.......
rant over sorry! :-?
p.s. if i offend anyone its was not my intension and this is my opion and i am allowed to air it!

i am not a big fan of the royals but i think the two boys are the future,give them a break.

Hmmm... I'm not a big fan of the royals either, but Harry is showing an alarming lack of tact for someone who is supposed to be in a position of respect and represent his country.
His use of the term 'paki', right or wrong, is a personal issue between him and his mates - granted. His videoing of his fooling about is a stupid prank.
If this was a video of a couple of kids on the street, then it wouldn't have made the papers. The reason why the mainstream press have leapt all over it is because he is supposed to be aware that, whether you agree with it or not, the term 'paki' is widely considered to be racist and offensive by society and he has a responsibility to represent his country in the best possible light.
So - he's not racist, but he is a moron. You don't see his brother dressing up in nazi uniforms or calling his mates 'pakis', do you? It doesn't mean he hasn't done it, just that he's hasn't been caught.
-
Firstly,someone (hopefully not one of his colleagues)has probably made a lot of money by flogging the footage to NOTW.
Secondly,the sensible approach imo would be to contact the guy concerned and ask for his opinion.If he says it was affectionate banter between mates,then its end of story.If he says he found it offensive but was too scared to say anything,then Harry needs a good talking too.

Remember the Merseyside police officer whose name appeared on the BNP members list ? Apparently he is going through the disciplinary process as we speak. So when will all the police officers who are members of the Black Police federation be dealt with ?
