Bangers and Mash with a serving of British News

I have to admit that I love reading the British news - I read it everyday...sometimes two or more times a day. The Brits just seem to have a better handle on the news - in my opinion. Their media coverage doesn't seem to have the layers of political and social correctness that has paralyzed the US media. They cover the good, bad and the ugly and it if is ugly - they say so. The only thing that seems to be off limits is Prince William....they go after his dad and his brother on a regular basis, but William still seems to have a free press pass. That's ok with me as I think he is one of the good guys; although, poor chap is losing his hair at such an early age. Of course with all the palaces, palace jewels, titled properties and worldly freebies.....one can over look the the bald spot. Maybe the next thing will be royal hair plugs......its just a thought. Okay I digress. The Brits call out their politicians and hound them when there is controversy and stay on the story until they resign under public pressure. When did the US decide that was no longer necessary???? Why are we, the US media and readers, so concerned about swaddling people and their feelings??? I think that we need to be tougher journalists and we, the readers, should demand tougher journalists. Quite frankly I am tired of reading the rose colored news.......if it is ugly - call it ugly. Of course, if for any reason Prince William comes to the US - please refer to the British Handbook of Etiquette.....as this is a level of journalism that we are not schooled nor do we have any experience!!!!! By the way - I have a tiara if that helps me secure a royal press pass. Next, adopting British phrases and traditions which will be quicker than you can say "Bob's your uncle" while passing me a serving of bangers and mash followed by a serving of spotted dick. What?!?!?!
