This has led me to wonder again why we are having this enquiry? And who is paying for it??

Because if the tax-payer is, then I am being robbed.

It appears the tax payer is funding the Grocers abuse of the royal family, this is a free country and people can criticise who they like, I dont see though in this context why the taxpayer should fund it.

Pity costs can't be awarded.

All these James Bond/SMERSH type allegations are pretty wearing. al Fayed hasn't produced a single piece of written evidence in 10 years. al Fayed makes wild speculative assertions and if people deny them they become part of the conspiracy down to the bodyguard who was nearly killed and remains scarred for life as well as the ambulancemen.

Is Prince Philip's family name really Frankenstein and what does that have to do with the car crash?

Diana hadn't been going out with Dodi long enough to know she was pregnant. To know for certain most women have to miss a period and then have a check, many wait for the second consecutive month without a show. It's all drivel from that point onwards.

For a start, just look at the banned protests around parliament.

Well perhaps I should have said in princple we live in a free country, we are able to criticse and vote against the government, speak out against the monarch, have freedom of religous worship etc, but I take your point.

Trouble is ours are being curtailed very quickly

Thanks for this video post Roland, very interesting. There are just as many people believe it was an accident as believe it was murder. I notice the coroner can't get Paul Burrell back into court even they know he has lied! The coroner says he has no power to get him back into court for further questions.
