So they got to you, too - no comments

Perhaps it was too easy a target, but I had been about to post something about the "Diana whitewash", when I spotted a comment on Tom H's blog too hilarious to miss. In response to a post about "showbiz" jurors serving on televised juries, adjudging fictional crimes, an anonymous individual held forth as follows:

Oh yeah, like this is the most important story today. How convenient that you blog about this stupid issue when you know full well the Stevens whitewash, sorry 'report' comes out today, and maintains the fiction that Diana died in an accident. No wonder Nick Palmer wants you to stand for Parliament - you're nothing more than an establishment lacky (sic).

A rival report carried out just this afternoon will serve to demonstrate public support for his apparently crackpot claims:

[...] Whilst 31% put Diana's death down to not wearing a seatbelt, and being driven at high speeds by a drunken, drugged driver; a whopping 40% felt the scenarios of a British secret agent loosening crucial nuts within the car's braking system, or operating an experimental "sonic weapon" from a safe distance, were more plausible explanation for the high-speed, drink and drug-fuelled crash.

[...] No fewer than half of these respondents pointed out that the Duke of Edinburgh "doesn't like foreigners, does he?", and recalled something someone told them once about the Duke of Windsor liking Hitler.

Only 9% of Daily Express readers polled felt they had a duty to refund British and French taxpayers for wasting police time. Meanwhile strong interest was expressed from some quarters for Express Newspapers to laminate the front cover of future editions...

Sources have so far failed to deny suggestions that Diana has been attempting to manipulate public opinion from Heaven, channelling stories and photographs to journalists through a medium employed by Express Newspapers, in a bid to secure her reputation on Earth.
