Red Flag 84 Posted January 2, 2012 Hate to dampen the excitement, but from what I've been reading on Twitter and the BBC's report, I'm not convinced it's actually on the estate itself. Or, if it's on estate land, it's a considerable distance from the house Having said that, that doesn't mean Phil or another batty old toff didn't suddenly decide to take a long walk in the woods at 3 in the morning last night and never came back...

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted January 3, 2012 More details are coming out: "A dog walker for the Royal Family of England was shocked on New Year’s Day when they found the remains of a human body just one mile from the Royal Stud and just two miles away from the estate’s main resident. Queen Elizabeth and the Duke Of Edinburgh were staying at the 20,000-acre property Sandringham Estate property and were notified of the discover on Monday night. Police told the Telegraph that a “detailed search” was being carried out throughout the woodland in Anmer, just east of Sandringham House. [snip] Buckingham Palace has so far distanced themselves from the investigation, refusing to comment on the discover and instead directing members of the press to the local police office handling the investigation. News of the bodies discovery comes just days after the 90-year-old Duke left Papworth Hospital where he was treated for a blocked artery after being airlifted to the facility on December 23. Half of the estate is currently let to farm tenants while much of the state remains in use for forestry purposes. This isn’t the first body to be discovered near a Royal Estate, in October the Daily Telegraph reported on an American body which had been laying exposed to the elements near Buckingham Palace for years.""

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted January 3, 2012 Then there is this: "Dear Diary: Prince Philip’s perfectly ghastly Christmas holiday" http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/12/30/dear-diary-prince-philips-perfectly-ghastly-christmas-holiday/ To quote: "The Queen insisted on making the trip in a helicopter. Some Punjabi is perched over my heart with a scalpel, and she descends on the building in a damned Sikorsky. That would have been a fine finale. They would have to find someone else to prop next to the Queen on the next hideous set of commemorative plates. Well, there’s one upside to all this nonsense: My heart scare had the BBC newsroom scrambling on Christmas Eve to find black ties. Good, and all it took to get those half-naked lollygaggers to wear some respectable clothes was the near-death of the Duke of Edinburgh." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted February 9, 2012 LOL - someone just put up this flyer by LaRouche and the Autralian branch of his nutty cult political party, the 'Citizens' Electoral Council" in our lunch room at work for a bit of a laugh. Glad to know Prince Philip is really the evil conspirator controlling the world through his "Green Fascists"! Seriously, though, we are quite fascinated by cultural phenomenon of conspiracy theories at work (like the "faked" moon land, etc) and we were discussing how, in this case, it is the person least likely to have any sympathies towards the Greens that the CEC are sayiong is the mastermind behind theplot. Perhaps therein lies the genius of their little conspiracy theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
