Twitter daily digest for 2008-03-01

  • Apparently Prince Harry’s plane dropped off some injured soldiers on its way back to Blighty. Did anyone catch their names? No? Thought not. #
  • The MoD must be jumping for joy. You just can’t buy this kind of propaganda. Oh, what a lovely war. #
  • AND YES! YES! YES! THERE HE IS! PRINCE HARRY’S GETTING OFF THE PLANE! OH MY GOD! IT’S HIM, IT’S HIM! God bless BBC objectivity. #
  • I might be being cynical here, but who thinks Harry had to go without body armour or patrol in a Snatch Land Rover? #
  • Prince Harry’s video diaries are next! War as reality television. How cool is that? And all the interviews! Oh, the hardship. The poor lamb. #
  • Is that repellent obsequiousness a genetic trait or is it taught at the BBC? ‘I generally don’t like England,’ says Harry. You and me both. #
  • Don’t get the deal for the media to keep quiet in return for access to Harry. If they’re so honourable, why did there need to be a carrot? #
  • @johnbrissenden I’ve missed this BBC WHITE thing. Jesus, I think I want to kick something. Again. The poor, poor persecuted whites. #
  • Lucky that Harry’s flight was delayed or it would have arrived in the middle of Gordon Brown’s conference speech. Funny how things turn out. #
  • I want to shake Brian Hanrahan. Dammit, man, get a grip. #
  • @mrpower But why, morally, did the media have to be offered inducements to protect Harry and his comrade’s safety? From that view it stinks. #
