SOME THINGS MUST NEVER SUFFER TORY CUTS

For those of you who have been worrying yourself silly about the dangers to which His Royal Highness Prince Charles and the old dear he sort of lives with put themselves when they descend from the ivory tower that is Clarence House, and come into contact with “ordinary people”, commoners, red bloods, I can tell you that police protecting them and the rest of the royal family (including the totally useless York sisters), at VAST expense to you and me, are being issued with taser stun guns.

They are to be given the controversial non-lethal guns to supplement the conventional firearms that they carry at all times while guarding Very Important Persons.

And members of the Diplomatic Protection Squad, who stand guard over the prime minister and other so-called “dignitaries”, will also be issued with the stun guns which fire a dart into a suspect which can then deliver an electric charge of 50,000 volts.

When Charles and Cammy were attacked during the student demonstrations before Christmas, and protesters surrounded their car shouting "Off with their heads" and "Tory scum", the protection officers did very little except lock their vehicle doors and hope it would all go away.

The Metropolitan Police Commissioner Paul Stephenson said they had shown enormous restraint by not shooting the protestors. Yeah, good one. But can you imagine what would have happened if they’d killed a few !!!!!

So anyway, they had a review because it must never, never be allowed to happen again, and commanders have been told they can arm their squads with X26 Tasers, which have a range of 21 feet and can also give electric shocks at close quarters.

Although the police will still have their “killing” guns, they will have the option to use the tasers, if they think that killing protesters might, as it were, “backfire” on them.

It’s good to know that our beloved rulers will be protected from the people over whom they rule, with such a variety of weapons. It warms my heart to know that they will be kept safe.

Pics: (1) You can just see how happy Wills is to be left with the commoner, who looks a bit hacked off herself. (2) Taser gun trials... ouch, that looks sore. That will teach you to call HRH Tory scum. (3) The York Sisters... isn’t it nice to know that while everything else is being cut, there is no expense spared to keep these people, so vital to the running of our state, safe and protected from....us.
