Dear Sir,

Princess Diana’s untimely death on August 31, 1997 is once again causing global political tremors. Ironically her car crashed into the 13th column of the Port D’Alma road tunnel in Paris at 12.23am.

Evidence in the public domain clearly indicates that she was killed in a carefully orchestrated plot. The cardinal question is, what were a multitude of MI6 Agents doing in Paris at the time of her death?

It was Lord Stevens who told the parents of Henri Paul, the driver of the ill-fated car that their son was not drunk at the time of the incident. Lord Steven was in charge of Operation Paget, the investigation into Diana’s death. Five weeks later he changed his mind, why?

A tape-recording of one unnamed informant claimed that the Queen’s private secretary, Robert Fellowes, who was also Diana’s brother-in-law, was in the French capital an hour before the crash and was seen in the communications room of the British embassy.

On September 9, there were reports of Henri Paul’s flat in Paris had revealed a veritable drinking den. Shelves were stacked with bottles of spirits and wine. Tables were littered with bottles of Vodka, martini and imported wines, while the kitchen contained open bottles of Ricard and American Bourbon.

These reports contradicted what was affirmed at that time. An inspection of Henri Paul’s flat by detectives of the French Criminal Division, 48 hours after the crash, had found only bottles of soda water, a bottle of champagne and a bottle of martini.

Blood samples taken from Henri Paul’s suit jacket after his death, and the only one that has been positively linked to him by DNA testing on his mother Giselle, shows no measurable trace of alcohol in his body.

In a tragedy of this magnitude, truth has become the first casualty.

Surprise in store

Dear Sir,

We were greatly disappointed after visiting a toy store which had announced a “sale”.

Upon entering the store we were shocked to see notices stating that “These items are excluded from sale” almost everywhere.

Only a few items were for sale, those also at still exorbitant prices.
