So What About Harry Then??
I'm not articulate - being a 'Woolyback' - so I'll let Dominic Lawson from the independant write it for me..

Comments such as this are made in civilian life, not only in the military. Some years ago, when I lived and worked in Italy, I arrived at work on my birthday to find a very large poster on my office door saying "Happy Birthday Englander from the Wop and the Kraut". This was put there by an Italian and German colleagues. They had no problems with using non-PC words as long as they were not used in an offensive way.
Is it not time that the British press got off the lads back? At least he is trying to make a contribution to the UK, and no I am not a Royalist.

Interestingly, this subject is being discussed over my shoulder right now.. By a Greek and Iraqi.
I'll find out what they think.
update... In the context of what was happening IE a group of men who were bonded as comrades - its a non story.
The Iraqi even told me he was nicknamed 'Scud' when he first came here, and thought it was funny!

Tabs please !
Breaking news - HRH "Wingnut" The Prince of Taffland, has been calling one of his coloured chums "Sooty".
BBC NEWS | World | Charles faces 'Sooty' name claim
I wonder what his dad "Stavros" has to say about that

I'm surprised no one who has seen the footage has commented on Harry smoking ........ doesn't he know it could endanger his health. I'm shocked to learn that the British Army permits soldiers on active duty, in hot-spot war zones, to smoke. Shocked, yes shocked! The Army is clearly failing in its duty of care to our servicemen and women.
