Let me just say: Stephen, you’re an ass. I think you’re a great actor, but on this topic, you made an ass of yourself.

Princess Diana worked on a myriad of projects because she believed in them, none of which affected her, none of which afflicted her. I suppose you could say she “had” to do them because of who she was, but I suspect she didn’t, she could have sat on her ass all day long drinking gin and tonics and she’d still have been loved by the British public. She didn’t. She poured her heart out into land mine extermination, kids charities, leprosy, and so on, it was seemingly neverending. She put her position to good use.

Jade Goody was a selfish, self-centred bigot. She had cancer and because of that one thing she campaigned for reducing the age of free cervical cancer scans from 25 to 20 (incidentally, it used to be 20, the Labour government increased it). What did she do? Did she actually have a job? I don’t believe she did. She was reality TV star who thought the sun shone out her big arse.

The one thing both of them shared, is that most of us feel sorry for their kids. Other than that, if anyone’s going in the Saint category I think can all agree which one it will be.

Yet again we have another inquiry, inquest, investigation, or whatever we want to call it. This time there is a jury (of eleven?) and this time, just like all the other times, Mohammed Al Fayed is hopeful his theory that the Crown had something to do with the death of Diana and Dodi, will be proven true.

My question is this Mr Al Fayed – if they find it was an accident, when will it end for you? If we go on and on for decades, twenty inquiries or more, until finally someone says there was a possibility of involvement, will you then boast to the world that the truth has been revealed, despite other inquiries showing none?

Let them rest, let us mourn the Princess’ death, and get on with your life.
