PRINCES, POVERTY AND PENSIONS

The future king of Britain Prince Charles can always be relied upon to come up with some stupid comment about society and he has done it again. Addressing the annual conference of the National Association of Pension Funds he decried their short term attitude and said something would have to be done about providing adequate pensions. "It falls to you. I'm afraid, to help shape a system designed for the 21st and not 19th century. Make that innovative and imaginary leap that the world so badly needs, otherwise your grandchildren, and mine for that matter, will be consigned to an exceptionally miserable future," he said.' (Times, 17 October) Prince Charles's grandchildren living in penury? Only a bombastic , useless parasite like him could come up with such drivel. RD
