Fun Online Poll Results: Prince Harry's video diary

On a good turnout of 137 votes in four days, the results are:

Have you ever used the word 'Paki'?
Yes - 83%
No - 17%

If you take the trouble of watching the NOTW footage, presumably filmed on a mobile 'phone, you'll notice that Ahmed Raza Khan was a) asleep and b) several yards away when the fatal words were uttered.

What had made me uneasy was the thought that as Prince Harry is Third In Line To The Throne, it would have been a bit awkward for Ahmed (had he neither been asleep nor out of earshot) to hit back with something along the lines of "Give my regards to your mother, you lanky ginger twat. And your half-brother!" However, in the NOTW footage somebody off-camera asks Prince Harry at 3 min 11 sec "Are your pubes ginger too?" to which he answers "Yes, they are".

Having sorted that out, I hope that we can now turn our attention to the rather more pressing matter of where President-elect Barack Obama was born - his Inauguration is next Tuesday, don't forget.
