Going back to what constitutes news...I'm sure Richard Nixon could have lived without the exposure...but those pesky journos Woodward and Bernstein would not let it lie 
Expose the lot of 'em....I believe the Queen has all the integrity in her family anyway.

Attended a party with daughter Beatrice on Saturday in the French Riviera.Yesterday in LA attended an awards ceremony.Strapped for cash YEH.

bojangles 

Hi suzy

Hey bojangles    I'd love to be that cash-strapped 

So would I suzy.She's a leach and always has been.

some one mentioned constitutuion earlier (sorry forget how to do quotes on here) may i just ask, "what constitution"? we don't have one!

Smoking, drinking, and going back to a stranger's place and leaving with a bag full of money.....nice work if you can get it.  Love it when posh folk talk posh when pisht!       

That might have been me...Yes we do, not a full Written one but one thing that is clear is that we have a Constitutional Monarchy...and the king/queen is Head of State.

 Tidds....

I've done a lot of daft things when I've been sniffy....but even I would question a Sheik offering me a wad of cash for doing sod all 

How bladdered was she? 

Can't abide the silly mare.

Hello Rev.Just from the grainy hidden camera footage...she seemed quite merry 

Wonder if he paid up smartish because he was promised a kiss?     

 Or a toe suck

You're sgusting   

Twiz hur wha did it no me...never 

ewww 

she has gone up in my estimations for pimping the royal family

 that's my favourite quote of this thread 

Oh, the grand old Duchess of York
She had five hundred thousand pounds

Got caught by a rag, puttting forty in her bag

Now she`s four hundred and sixty thousand down...



Singalong

Shirly she is forty bags of sand up?

I know she did wrong but I admire her for going to the Children's Charity in LA instead of hiding somewhere from embarassment, takes guts to do that with all the media attention here and there.

Yes she did wrong .......yes she's a very silly woman .......we all know that don't we?

it really pisses me off though when people go under cover and entrap .......................personally I dont give a toss what she gets up to - she lives the high life but doesn't have the monet to back it up. Personally I'm surprised she doesn't write a book and tell us all the naughty little secrets that goes on behind those walls.
Yes it's all very grubby but .....................she's not killed anyone - FGS - it's the people who set these things up that I despise.

Agree with many of your points. The UK Press for whatever their reason have never taken to her, whereas the Americans love her, she really should move there to feel accepted. There seems to be a lot of entrapment by the Press these days, yes there's a point of view that if someone in the public eye is acting inappropriately there's a reason to bring it to light, I get that, but knowing the Press have always had negative view of Fergie I wonder why they chose to set her up, oh probably because they don't like her and want to sell even more garbage, so glad I don't waste money on all those sad rags.

Yeah, you're right. We should have just waited for her to see the error of her ways, in her own sweet time 

It annoys the hell out of me when the gutter press use entrapment tactics, not that I care much for Fergie either. I'm sure in a lot of instances some people would not be able to resist the temptation of half a million quid, when circumstances present themselves people can behave rashly/stupidly. Pleased I don't subscribe to MurCocks coffers

What we are overlooking here,she was setting up a meeting with royalty.We've already had one assassination.These people could have been terrorists,as they were unvetted because of her greed.If that had been any member of the public,even if they were a friend of Andrew's they would have been arrested by now,for putting our royal family at risk.I  don't think she should be allowed to get away with this
,with a simple "I'm devastated."Yeh devastated that you've been caught out for your greed.Her title of Duchess should be taken away from her.Make a precedent here.

That's a bit over the top if I may say so. 

How?Hung ,Drawn and quartered would be better me thinks.

Well! I'm sure that her family would make as tempting a target anyway. But as I said before, "Rejoice!" She's taken fwarty bags o' sand of the enemy and the twatty journo doesn't get to see the Prince. Wish I'd thought of a good scam like that.

I think bojangles has made a very valid point...and I don't think the press are as loathsome as some on here (even if they are described as 'gutter' 'vile' etc..) I'm not a fan of Murdoch as an individual, and his methods are questionable, but even the tabloids provide valid information and just because a newspaper folds over a few more times doesn't make what they write 'truer' and 'nobler'.

I don`t agree with entrapment but she went along with "the deal" and was willing to use her ex`s name and position for it. She admits she overspends and lives beyond her means. So what if she`s in debt? She accrued them..no-one else. She was earning 2 million a year from weight watchers..2 MILLION! Plus being paid 40 odd thousand for each appearance on shows and talks etc etc...
She lives rent free in a wing (that would be a mansion to most of us) of Andrew`s palatial property. Her children are now adults and presumably supporting themselves, if not and if they are "struggling" I`m sure their father would see they weren`t. How did she manage to get into debt..AGAIN? Overspending..that`s why. She`s being sued by the law company who helped her launch her book. She took the proceeds..no problem, but didn`t pay them. I have wondered..if the deal had been real..how was she going to justify her half million pay out to the businessman? How was she going to persuade Andrew to meet him and introduce him to his contacts? Would he have come back to her if Andrew didn`t deliver?  She didn`t think it through properly because her head was filled with pound signs. I`m not enjoying seeing her pained expressions and the obvious hard time she`s having because of this but I don`t have one bit of sympathy for her...zilch! She did it to herself. Her greed has come back to bite her.

Not such a good scam..she`s paying it back. That`s supposing she`s got any of it left..she`s had it for a week.

Well said suzy

That's really not very nice is it?

Lighten up Soozywoo,We're on GaGa now.

Alright...I will rephrase it....I don't think the press are as loathsome as some on here think they are etc.
Does that make it clearer soozywoo or do want to pick some more of my opinion to be annoyed about?

Well I obviously read it wrong (although that was how it read to me) ....apologies - it read like -'some on here are loathsome' I see now that it was just an error in typing.. surely I'm not alone in reading it like that?
