Kate - The Duchess of Cambridge
As a Welsh-American I am ambivalent towards the Royals. My grandfather was a dedicated nonconformist and believed the Twdors were the last to hold a rightful claim to the British throne. He was a firm believer that Owain Glyndwr was the last, true Prince of Wales.
That said, I want to state in the strongest terms possible that in my opinion the French magazine which published the semi-nude pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge while she honeymooning in a remote, private villa in France should be condemned in the harshest terms. To do such a despicable thing while chanting the tired, boring mantra of "freedom of speech or press" rings so hollow. It is offensive. Why doesn't the magazine in the name of freedom publish a picture of Mohammed? Remember van Gogh or Rushti? We all know the answer: They are sniveling little cowards and their only true devotion is to the gods of the Franc (or Euro). They pick on Kate precisely because they know they can cite their self-righteous platitudes with impunity.
I know the Rhyddings well it used to be a student pub, I suppose it still may be given it's location. Brynmill brings back many happy memories of playing in the park, feeding the duck's and looking at the animals in their enclosure as a child. In answer to your question I live in Penlan directly above Manselton Park. There is actually a pub at the end of the road I live on called the Coracle but it's a real spit and sawdust establishment not for the faint hearted.
Hello Swansea Jack which part of Swansea do you hail from don't tell me your from the posh end of town. I like your choice of name it show's style.
As a person that believes that royalty have no relevance to the governance of Wales or it's people, I have no real feeling of shock over the pictures as reproduced in the magazines in France and Italy. But the fact the pictures will now be shown in a Danish magazine appalls me, the Danes have some of the best looking women in Europe unlike the English.
A Danish magazine is now going to do a 16-page spread of Catherine. I'd thought better of the Danes.
Ironically, the French magazine Charlie Hebdo hasdecided to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.and in response French Government has announced it is closing down 20 Embassies across the Islamic world before Friday prayers.
