One of my favourite films of the post war years, along with Scrooge. 

The greatest Scrooge? Got to be Alastair Simm. Dicken’s  A Christmas Carol, is said to have invented modern Christmas 

Definitely Alastair Sim. 

Prepare for conspiracy theorists to say the Romans discovered America. 

Definitely Alastair Sim. 

You Limey's forget this Sim feller, Johnny Depp is the new Scrooge coming out for the new Christmas season. 

Are we in a fantasy TV show without knowing it.

Sir Stafford Cripps............added to the list.

Yesterday the King announced that a new law will soon be enacted to strip Prince Andrew of all of his titles, including that of Prince, thus he will become Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

I mistakenly thought that the Titles Deprivation Act of 1917 would have been deployed rather than the necessity of a new law, but on closer inspection the 1917 Act was aimed solely at Peers who adhered to the enemy in the First World War. So a new law is required to remove a Peer's title(s) for more recent transgressions. I assume it won't be aimed solely at Prince Andrew, but will be on the statute book for future use against any Peer. In this "moral" age I can see there being constant appeals to the Act to punish any Peer whom the public take a dislike to.

Mark, if this is a "moral" age, could the prior age be an "immoral" age. You know with the audacious conduct of the royals & peers compared to that of the "normal" folk. 

You know what folk are like these days. It was a move by the King to protect the Monarchy from those who say it's not acting against Prince Andrew, whom it seems is the greatest villain the world has ever seen. 

Once this Act goes through there will be no end of trouble with Prince Harry first in the firing line. A mistake in my opinion. 

He's a right bastard.  (I'm learning English as my second language.)

Andrew and Fergie both should have quietly retired a few years ago.  Second sons have always caused trouble for the Monarchy.  The Markles will be getting lot of ink.
