Paul Burrell Trial Transcript
Here is the Talking Point transcript from the BBC regarding the Burrell trial.
It is interesting that media lawyer Mark Stephens is so pro-monarchy, he’s actually anti-monarchy. Confused? Don’t be. Look at what he said, then tell me if you agree with me:
I’ve represented a number of Royal servants and ex-Royal servants and all of them have had this great, great discretion - they’re the sort of servants that you really would want in your own home because they are so discreet - they just don’t tell you anything about what goes on in the Royal household and rightly so.
This will probably not go over too well with the general public. Taxpayer money has been spent, it has been regarded as ‘wasted’, and many people have accused the Queen of interfering. In light of this atmosphere, it is not a smart idea to talk as if we could even have servants or know about the world of courtiers. Stephens needs a more even-handed approach, and by not doing that he is making the Queen and the family look bad or as if they have something to hide. Comments?
