Do or Di!

mm, writing about the Death of Princess Di and Dodi al-Fayed was not really my intention, but having lived in London at the the time and having an overwhelming impulse to go to Kensington Palace (the former residence of the People's Princess) I, like many thousands, yes thousands of average everyday people, made our pilgrimage to pay our respects for a truly remarkable lady. When I first heard the news break on the TV, then the radio and every other media source available at the time, I was in shock. A kind of shock that I had never really experienced ever before and one you feel for a close friend or relative that has died. It was very strange as I was not really a follower of the Royals and the Monarchy, although I liked some of the traditions. But was always fascinated with the fairy tale of a Lady that became a Princess then was excommunicated from the Royal household as a potential embarrassment to the Establishment, would surely not go unpunished, after all tradition is tradition! Well as we now live in the 21st Century and times have changed, we don't hang people for treason, or blasphemy, we actually write about it in the tabloid newspapers and then laugh about it during our tea breaks. But this was no ordinary fairy tale, this one was about a jealous and conniving Prince and a Royal Family that believed in tradition (mm a bit like the movie Fiddler on the Roof). Traditions have to be obeyed and followed and whether or not you agree you are now brain washed into this cult and have to follow the rule book or suffer the harsh consequences. So what did really happened on that dreadful day on 31st August, 1997? More than 10 years ago and we still do not know, or do we? Well the evidence is there, if you look hard enough it is all apparent. We have all seen these marvelous conspiracy movies (like the latest one 'The Bourne Ultimatum'), read the numerous books by authors like Dan Brown and also read enough newspapers and Internet findings to realise this was not a tragic accident. You would have to be a fool to think so, especially when there are so, so many damming claims that make it impossible to think otherwise. Don't take my word for it, read them yourself. Also why is it that 98% of the UK citizens asked in a poll, agreed this was no accident? mm! I would also like to know why the body guard Trevor Rees-Jones, the only survivor of the deadly accident, claims he has amnesia and can not remember a thing! Very convenient, so the evidence stacks up higher and higher and will one day topple.. Who Killed Diana? by Simon Regan. I really feel sorry for the direct families of the victims as they have to live this nightmare over and over again. I stand by Mohamed al-Fayed in his judgement, although it will never bring the 3 victims back the truth should be known!
