Hardly a "racist" outburst though is it?

Have to say I agree with you Ironside - load of bollocks about nothing...
All a load of squaddie talk - as always the rag that is the News of the World gone WELL over the top to try and cause a problem......
Great journalism as ever !

'*racial hatred*' is a very widely used term in the British armed forces. It's a bit off to single just him out, but he's Royalty and this is the NOTW we're talking about.

To me it sums up what our forces are all about,old traditions,old language,bullying,old equipment and as usual old men calling the shots in there safe worlds...abit like WW1 a hundred years on...Harry is saying words that are commonly used in our forces,is it racist?....its an individual decision,i wouldnt want any of my family joining our forces in todays climate.

if its widely used in the army, perhaps the whole army (and royal family) is institutionalised and racist. I dont think its off to single him out, like you say Samdy he’s royalty and i would have thought with 25 years practice he would be used to being constantly singled out and learn to watch his mouth a bit more.
To excuse it as “squaddie talk”, as sheepshagger did, only serves to highlight the widespread prejudice within the army, and doesn’t make what he said any less offensive or somehow acceptable or excusable.

It's the Army for fucks sake, not a meeting of the Young Liberals!
A bit of un PC language from blokes that are prepared to put their lives at risk so the right-on brigade can remain safe and cosy to carry on spouting their usual crap.
Big deal.
