Reply #16: well not Burrell [View All]

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

The trial was aborted when the Queen "remembered" a conversation she had with Burrell which exonnerated him. Quite what prompted her to remember that conversation is under dispute -- there have been many allegations that it was a means to silence Burrell when they feared that the Charles/Fawcett allegation might come out.

This whole saga is a sorry mess between ex-servants, Clarence House & the Tabloid press over here, fuelled by the Dianaphilia that far too many people suffer from. I'd like to think that we could one day have a sensible debate about abolishing the monarchy, but it seems like we're going to have to continue with the tittle-tattle & scandal.
