Cabinet Office Spy’s “Specialist Policy” Mission
Yesterday’s poorly worded/suspicious Cabinet Office statement on Prince Charles’ spy in the heart of government had the distinct whiff of a cover-up. Just who is the mystery man, or lady, seconded from the Royal Household? Why is he, or she, there? What exactly is he, or she, doing? Guido has learned that the representative from the Household of the Prince of Wales’ remit centres around a “specialist policy role”. He has reason to believe it is a lady as well.
Despite the obvious implication that someone with close links to the Royal Family is working on government policy, a Cabinet Office spokesman insists that is not the case and they have no role in legislation. The official kick back still refuses to reveal the staffer’s identity, this time on the rather tenuous grounds that it would not be fair since he/she is in a “relatively junior”. Senior sources in the department are now emphasising to Guido that the unnamed person’s role is unrelated to their work with the Prince of Wales and that high-security clearance is not “required”.
So why not just be completely transparent about the arrangement?
Maybe Dave could phone up that shady royal benefactor who got him his job, so we could get to the bottom of this once and for all…
Who cares?
I read somewhere His Royal Highness got three ‘O’ levels. Hard to believe.
He left in 1967 with six GCE O-levels, and two A Levels in history and French at grades B and C respectively.[9]
Doesn’t stop him from talking through his arse most of the time?
I bet she’ll be easy to spot. She’ll be dressed like Marie Antoinette, wearing a tiara, and totally out of touch with the 21st century.
Sincere apologies, Wiki. Forget ‘hard to believe’, substitute ‘How?’
Same way his dense son gets to jump the queue to qualify as a pilot.
Sounds like a very good idea to make sure HRH has people in his office who understand how Government works before he becomes King.
Anyone who might be hurt by the crazy political objectives of this imbecile aristo

Scotland Yard p4edophile unit upgrades Operation Fairbank from “scoping exercise” to full criminal investigation. Full report on Exaro soon.
It’s not ” These ones” or “those ones”
Just ‘ these’ and ‘those’ FFS
‘refuses to reveal the staffer’s identity, this time on the rather tenuous grounds that it would not be fair since he/she is in a “relatively junior”.’

What total, complete, and utter bollocks of a reason is that?
Fair? Junior? Who cares?
What are they running, a kindergarden or a government?
Refusing to reveal… Who do they think they are, the BBC?
Quite.
But unlike all the other apparatchiks mentioned, you can bet your life on the fact that Prince Charles is 100% supportive of the UK.
and furthermore, I have heard it said that among the world’s most influential people, the most sought-after invitation was to a dinner held by Prince Charles on RY Britannia. Funny think that it was scrapped, don’t you think?
….. thing
‘Twas a foretelling of things to come; Britannia on the scrapheap.
God bless the Prince of Wales.
Well said!
Bring on the republic…
“Charles has the most infuriating manner: he manufactures a faux astonishment and exasperation with the ways of the world.
His whole demeanor is of a head-shaking, homespun wisdom, a regal Thoreau in his bespoke Walden, patronising the rest of us with the pitying smile of a higher understanding.
The truth is this is the defensive front of a man who is too slow to keep up, who just doesn’t get it and therefore dismisses it as an inconvenient reality and a terrible mistake.”

AA Gill is a c*nt.
Not always.
Yes I think AA Gill’s got him nailed. You know a man by his friends and his best friend is eco fascist Jonathan Porritt. Plaster the countryside in wind turbines and freeze old people to death but not at Highgrove.
Hypocrites!
It’s HM’s bloody government, and if Cammo was running anything for me, I’d want to keep an eye on what’s happening as well. Come to think of it, he is and I am. Bearing in mind what a facile pile of pusillanimous inexactitude inhabits No. 10, the more people keeping an eye on Mr Devious the better.
Amen to that!
Odd place the UK. We allow terrorists to become MPs. And then worry that the next head of state has a member of staff assisting with some government work.#
Who cares?
‘Lady’? What is wrong with the word ‘woman’? All ladies are women. The reverse is certainly not true.
This will turn out to be either:
* basic preparation for the mechanics of the handover when Brenda retires or dies
* some highly charged issue like the precise amount of oats to be allowed in organic hob-nob biscuits
Remind me, isn’t Cameron descended from William IV and his “real” wife (Mrs Jordon) before he married bigamously married some German Princess? Therefore shouldn’t he be King anyway?
I know who it is.
