Sometimes a drunk driver is just a drunk driver
For over ten years, the British media and others round the world have been getting people to play a particularly silly game, with help from an Egyptian grocer.
There remains some hope but little likelihood that the game is now over. My lingering questions seem to be completely different from everyone else’s.
- Could Princes William and Harry sue Al Fayed for contributory negligence in their mother’s death, given that an inquest has now established that the man he employed as their chauffeur was drunk?
- Is irrationality continuing to gain ground in public, or just in the media?

I don’t understand why this story is even something worth covering by the press after more than 10 years. There’s nothing that can be done to any of the principles to help or hurt them. What was the point of the trial anyway except to expend huge amounts of money? I just don’t get it.

Me either. Then again, in a fit of tastelessness I nearly entitled this post “as dead as a dodi” – so what do I know?

You haven’t sat in a coffee shop and listened to people talk politics recently, have you?
