Well I did say I was suggesting that we have no choice. It wasn't a definitive statement.
I made the suggestion because they (or Harry alone) may well be at risk. We don't know. So if he (they) is/are I can't really envisage any circumstances in which someone would make a decision not to protect them with the resources of the state. Private security is surely not up to the same standard?
Whilst I don’t wish to diminish our metropolitan police department and the services they offer, private security can be whatever you pay for. It can and in some cases does go well above the standard afforded to them currently.
Whilst I can appreciate that Henry is still a member of the RF, and has the extra criterion of having served in Afghanistan. It’s not the days of old, where terror levels were raised and lowered daily, our biggest threat in recent years was IS but their stranglehold has significantly diminished in recent years. To put it bluntly, if somebody wanted to get at Henry or the RF in general, no amount of security tax payer funded or not would stop them.
Yes & we all know what happened next of course. It feels to me like a no win situation. Damned it we do, damned if we don't.
She didn’t wear a seatbelt in a car, that’s what happened.
