I agree with you, Meg. A cheap a nasty bit of stirring if you ask me.

This non news is being blown out of all proportion. classic gutter press and the gutter populous will read it because its gossip which is all they understand .

Re: The Queen
I agree with all the above comments. I would add that in 1933 nobody expected this little girl to become queen. Her uncle, the Prince of Wales, was the heir to the throne. Abdication was until 1936 unheard of in this country.The timing of this story reminds us that this time is known as the silly season. That means that the papers are keen to make a sensation out of very little. All the other papers have rushed to condemn the Sun while also relishing the thought of extra sales.

Re: The Queen
As kids, our favourite game for a while was "war" - half of us would be gallant British Tommies and the other half, evil German Nazis - "The Hun."Most of us wanted to be Nazis because, let's face it, when you are acting, an evil part is much more fun than playing the "goodie." The hills around us rang with the treble voices of excited boys declaiming, "Take that you Nazi swine" or "Die Englischer Pig Dog!" - Good job no-one took photos of our "Nazi" past or we would be in the papers too!
