Charles and Camilla's Car Attacked

[VectraMan]

Deregulated bankers provided the means, but who was it that took out ever increasing stupid size loans to buy massively overpriced property? Before 2007 anyone who suggested that the house selling merry-go-round was obvious folly was openly laughed at. I am pretty sure that if house prices had remained relative to 1998 then most of the rest of the current tulipe could have been avoided.

WHS. It's the middle class parents of these middle class revolting students that are at least as much to blame. And the irony is that the £18K of debt young graduates will face wouldn't be such a problem if they didn't also have to go hopeless into debt to buy their first overpriced house.

I'm guessing the car they were in was old enough that it doesn't have them. The law does say seatbelts should be worn "where fitted".

You would have thought they might have fitted them after what happened to Diana.

Judging by the clip, she's certainly let herself go...

It was mentioned on the radio today, that car is apparently 50 years old.

Like others have posted I'm quite surprised that their protection detail didn't re-route the car so that the encounter was avoided.

1977 Phantom VI. I'm pretty sure 1977 wasn't fifty years ago. If it was, I'm older than I think

As to the reason for going that way: it sounds like the situation was pretty fluid, but even so they seem to have messed up. The photojournalist who took the "money shot" described the general context in The Grauniad.

Fair enough, I trust your investigative skills over some plank on the radio, 33 is a tad less than 50

Dumb arses Charles and Camilla initially thought the crowed were cheering them so they wound the window down and waved. Some of the crown shouted “off with their heads”.

Money shot indeed - certainly a merry christmas for that snapper - assuming he was freelance with AP and not salaried

[shaunbhoy]

Let's face it, who would even want to poke the hideous old growler with anything other than a long stick?

Staff, I'm afraid. I heard him interviewed.
