Keir Hardie on a previous royal birth


http://highlandrepubli.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/palace-and-pit-from-keir-hardie.html


   


Ah, the days when a labour MP in my area was true to his principles.....
Maybe that's why we don't have any Labour MPs or MSPs in this are anymore.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Doesn't sound right coming from someone who had two perfectly healthy children, boy & girl, seemed well set up with family life & then had a third child. Nothing against anyone having three or even four children but maybe they're not the right person to be pontificating about this issue. I'll advised I would say, unless I've misunderstood him.

Inserted bit later:- There's something wrong about a person like Prince William - not talking about royal necessarily but someone reasonably well off - preaching to those who are so severely underprivileged, who often cannot access water never mind birth control. Many of those in third world countries don't want to keep on breeding and often lose children in infancy. We on the other hand, even those not earning much, would manage if they had an unplanned child - often known as 'a happy accident'. William needs to stand back and take stock - as do many others who preach the same. He's nice from what we can see & appears to genuinely care but saying what he said shows he has little idea.

Let's stand back and wait for the flack.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

No flak from me.

Nice he does appear to be, but suffering from a lack of awareness that seems to be the lot of many of the over-privileged.

Louis Arthur Charles. WOW  I was right, I guessed the baby might be called Louis, after Mountbatten.

Wrong. He has been named after his father.

Is it true that Harry will have to have the third hair protruding from his right eyebrow, coming from his left side, specially trimmed before the so called 'Big Day'?

It's just that the whole royal thing is so deeply interesting, I've started loosing sleep over it already Rob, it put me in mind of the extreme excitement of listening to golf on the radio, how I'll get through all of it, well I don't know how? For a man of my age, I just hope my heart can cope?

I daren't start to go through my collection of used teabags, that'd just about see me off.

I used to go through my scarf box & rearrange them in terms of colour, quality & size if I couldn't sleep, years ago. Quite rare for me not to sleep, more difficult to wake up but it did happen that I had the odd sleepless night. Now I don't know where my scarf box is, I have a couple of scarves lying around but no nice silk ones. One day I'll find it. Such is life.

We move on, the naming of the royal baby is now history & nothing left for me to say except I wish them all well. Today's news is certainly tomorrow's crisp packet, or something like that.
