The Law wins over common sense..?

[Gaffers]

He did, they wont build it now.  It's just a case of how much compensation the developers want 

[mudflap]

Nice trees, but what are those half finished tower blocks doing there? 

 Who knows, another will soon crop up somewhere 

[Elite Pete]

I think Charlie is right, the new building look awful

[HolyCount]

Yes, it looks awful --- but is far from the worst looking building around .... look at most of the monstrosities that went up in the 60's and 70's.

But ..... (personal feelings towards Charles apart) ....it was an abuse of a priviledged position.

[Dishevelled Den]

Phew!!  I thought you were referring to the Dutchess of Cornwall

[Lizzie_Zoom]

Yes, fully behind Prince Charles comments on this one

Those building would have looked awful if they had of been built.

[tunnie]

Hummm, design looks very similar to Chiswick Park, think that looks ok.... lets face it would you rather have the waste land & 60's monstrosity that is currently there?

In times of massive cut backs, bound to be waste land for some years to come now 

I've seen far worse developments!

[HolyCount]

Phew!!  I thought your were referring to the Dutchess of Cornwall

No comment ...... must resist ...RESIST .....

I disagree entirely .. he had an opinion .. so he aired it. just like you and I can and do. The fact the developers listened and acted on his opinion is not his call.

Are we saying that he cannot have an opinion, or voice that opinion

In the subsequent totalitarian state.. who would decide who's opinions are allowed and who's are not

Freedom of speech applies to everyone.. not just those whos's views you agree with.

I agree with what you say E - mostly.

Although I have to be careful what I say in these matters I would suggest that the Prince of Wales is quite adept in using his established position to motivate commoners to follow his line of thinking - as was his late wife.

Along Zulu with a previous Prince of Wales, who would later become Edward VII

This is one thing that any Prince of Wales can do very successfully; have opinions and influence 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

previous Prince of Wales

Strangely enough E, I posted the report an hour or so ago concerning another former occupant of that position and his abdication notice, as read on the BBC by Alvar Liddell  8-) Spooky or what?

Indeed as I didn't manage to yet get around to listening to that broadcast!!

I was of course just working on historical knowledge

Now listened to the broadcast, and it reminds me of the contemporary reaction to it.

My father, still at school at the time, told me his teacher was fuming about it, and all the adults he knew thought it was terrible that a Prince of the Realm would abandon his duty and responsibility to the British Nation and its peoples in not continuing to be King.  To the people around him Edward was committing a dereliction of duty and should now be shown no respect

As history has shown us of course, thank God Edward to not continue as King  and betray this country and its peoples further!
