Let Them Eat Cake!

PRINCE William's girlfriend Kate Middleton will soon be under round-the-clock guard by gun-toting women police officers.

Despite not yet being a member of the Royal Family, Kate, 25 next week, will be protected by her own unit from Scotland Yard's elite Royal Protection Squad.

The women are being trained in unarmed combat and weapons after the move was requested by Prince Charles, who is worried for Kate's safety.

Normally she would not get gun guards until she was engaged to William, 24, who is expected to propose within months.

Right. And if you're a British subject, they'll be sending an armed squad 'round to protect your girlfriend, too. Right?

The government that throws Tony Martin in the dungeon for defending himself throws this in the face of the rabble.

As Mr. Paine observed:
[T]he idea of hereditary legislators is as inconsistent as that of hereditary judges, or hereditary juries; and as absurd as an hereditary mathematician, or an hereditary wise man; and as ridiculous as an hereditary poet laureate.

The need to be ruled has always baffled me. Sovereign human beings are not meant to subject themselves to parasites.

It's Britain.

There is only one Sovereign in that country.
