How incompetent and clueless are Metropolitan Police Royalty Protection Branch officers?
Suppose this had been a terrorist with a sniper rifle instead of a paparazzi with a camera? Ever wonder why we never see naked picture of Michelle Obama or Malia Obama doing something stupid? Because we use competent, effective security measures and teams of properly trained US Secret Service special agents and uniformed officers.
Royalty Protection Officers ... so stupid they can't even figure out how to stop someone from climbing onto the roof of Buckingham Palace or walking into the Queen's bedroom.
The pics were taken in France. The Met has no jurisdiction in France. A top sniper can hit a target from over a mile away. Nobody can be protected against that kind of threat.
And the reason you never see a naked picture of the Obamas is because nobody is interested in looking at them.

The Royals are always accompanied by their police protection officers ... even here in the United States.
This is different though isn't it? Presumably your girlfriend had her breasts out on a public beach or similar and was caught on camera anonymously ie nobody would have known her from Adam or would have given her a second look.
If on the other hand someone had crept into your garden, taken a picture of your girlfriend naked on your property, published it in the paper deliberately and then named your girlfriend are you telling me you would have just shrugged it off?
If so you must be a very liberal and forgiving person.
The pun-tastic headline if I recall was 'Yabba Shabba-Do's it's hot' or something along those lines so make of that what you will. I've been called many things in my time and Liberal has always been one of them.
But then I've also been called a Marxist on this very thread so I'd be watch your step if I were you Kentmum one wrong step and I just might sue you for defamation of character.
On second thoughts the Liberal in me is just telling me to kick back, peace out and let it slide.

i don't think we can develop an informed opinion without seeing the relevant pics of his girlfriend.
She was popular with the lads, too popular. To be honest I've tended to avoid such erm, well proportioned women ever since. Drooling men were just the beginning but to be perfectly frank after that picture in the Sun I think she got a little too big for her br(a)itches.
It was fun whilst it lasted. Sadly I don't have a momento. So unless you want to trawl through the Colindale library archives I think I'll rest my case. As a lousy boyfriend I was found guilty on all counts anyway. And re-convicted on CD some 14 years later. Ah, them were most certainly the days.
I had a girlfriend whose breasts were plastered all over the Sun without her permission on a sunny August Bank Holiday in Bournemouth. No-one asked her permission. We didn't even know the picture was taken. We shrugged, laughed about it and moved on. Far too many pressing concerns to contend with.
Principally I agree in the idealistic freedom of privacy but considering the magnitude of what we are facing as a world at present and the struggles that are costing people's lives on a daily basis then I find it insulting that this so called 'miscarriage of justice' is getting people so steamed up.
If you seriously believe that this is some kind of severe trauma that makes you feel pity for the Royals then all can say is you must have lived a very sheltered life. Most of my pals didn't even have a room to themselves when they pooped their cherries. Two couples per room in a chalet in Bognor Regis.
Needless to say them was the days.
The Duke Of Arsehire needs to get over himself and quit blabbering.
Please spare us the political lectures
...and kindly get on with a post of her pics.
Edited to add:
Didn't see your last post. Your loss is also ours.

Wow that's a new one. Never been threatened before.
I was simply illustrating the difference between your public scenario and Kate's private one. I don't know where your 'Marxist' comment comes from out of the blue or why I'm being threatened for it. Telling someone to watch their step, one wrong step or they might be sued is your idea of letting things slide?

Don't worry, I'm not the Duke Of Winterville. Unlike the Prince I will NOT be sueing anybody.
There were only a few instances of the criminal libel law being applied before it was finally abolished in 2010 no-one here will be interested to know. A favourite of mine being Italian anarchist Errico Malatesta who was convicted of an unsolicited villification of (alleged) roge agent Ennio Belelli in 1912.
Liberty, anarchy and socialism, the three bedrocks of a high-fibre society wouldn't you agree?
The sad thing is though all petty trivialities aside the only reason people like this French photographer are taking thse pictures is because there is a whole freak show and industry devoted to selling alluring glossy pics or pics with celebs in unflattering positions/light. The Royal family being a big allure and it is this allure that the Royal Family thrives on as without the mystical mystique that portrays the fairy-tale fantasy that seeks elevate their unique status they are pretty much as they are in reality, irrelevant.
You want to point the finger point it towards the felacious tittle tattle and gossip that the professionally banal classes have seen fit to paritcipate in as a full-time sport of celebrity endorsed vacuousity.
As such shrewd business oligarch's have accumulated a fortune and continue to accumulate wealth and will without any remores whatsoever put a marksmen photo-lens and thousands of pounds of cash on the breasts of Kate. These people are just bounty hunters with a photo-lens.
You can't have all the meticulously choreographed mythology and romance surrounding the Royals on the one hand whilst expecting it not to foster a breeding ground of warped, infatuated voeyeurs on the other. The same industry that feeds the voyeurs feeds the Royal PR machine and keeps them perched upon a pedestal of intrigue.
I can't abhor this dredgery but Britain is a nation of crashing bores and this is the kind of stuff that flies off the shelves. If nobody bought it no-one would be taking these tedious and very uninteresting images. Shame on them.
My ex-girlfriend's bazooks were much more photogenic if you ask me anyhow.
As for the accusation that I threatened kentmum. Slanderous!

Not really old bean. In a city as vast and expansive as London it is possible to avoid such people. The Z-D-A List celebrity officianados are plentiful but fortunately there are far more charming people around in a city as large and diverse as London. On CD however they do appear to be a little more awkward to navigate.
