Someone's not telling the truth.

"Levy said Blair had told him Brown could not win a general election, a statement rejected by Blair's office"

What hope do we have? Look at camera

Poor old Mr William Wales.

He uses service equipment just like loads of other people and gets into trouble...

"It's disgraceful, abusing his power like that"

"we've been crying out for more Chinooks for the war"

Or is it?

There's a lot going on here. William himself should certainly know that an A-list celebrity like himself has to behave much better than the average joe. He (or his advisers) should know better for starters.

The RAF should not have allowed it. William certainly didn't order it. He was given his orders and he obeyed.

But there's far worse.

The Daily Mail reported that Royal Air Force Chief Marshal Glenn Torpy "erupted with rage" after finding out that Prince William landed the Chinook helicopter assigned to him during a training flight on his girlfriend's yard.

So Mr Torpy didn't even know what the 2nd most important man in the country -- entrusted to his care -- was doing. And now argues that it wasn't his fault. Admitting this in public is frankly admitting he doesn't know what the R in the RAF stands for. Step forward Mr Reid, "Not fit for purpose" I believe is the appropriate phrase.

Oh yes, and the next time you fly a Chinook over central London, try and do it at a normal height, and without having the airspace around you cleared. From the south bank there was an obvious shot and an easy target for a well heeled terrorist -- who are everywhere aren't they?
