Looks like the Taliban's Int is as good as ours, first they miss Ross Kemp and now Harry.
One (probably unintentional) side-effect of the Ross Kemp series is that it has done wonders in highlighting just how grim a tour in Afghanistan actually is. There is a perception amongst the civvies I have spoken to that it is just a bunch of ragheads taking potshots at HMF when the reality couldn't be further from the truth.

Quite ironic really then, that anti-monarchist Murdoch has unwittingly provided a platform for the general public to understand what Prince Harry (not forgetting everyone else!!) has been going through. Well done to the guy, he came across as professional, dedicated and decent. It's a shame that he couldn't have finished his tour with the rest of his unit, but at the very least he can hold his head up high.
