Oh my, Steve ~~ I don't think I have ever come across such an accomplished point-misser.

To spell it out ~~ of course it wasn't the papps who got the driver drunk. BUT NOR WAS IT HIS OWN VOLITION. He was an experienced and well-paid professional with a professional reputation to maintain. He would never have got drunk on the job. Someone spiked something, or otherwise got at him; then tipped off the papps to make sure he would be well pursued. Result, as intended: one deceased ex-royal who had become an embarrassment.

I am in general not one for conspiracy theories. Myra Hindley is dead. Armstrong walked on the Moon, not in the Utah desert.

But I make an exception for exHRH Di of Wales. She was done away with, I most strongly suspect. {&, as I remarked before, I make a similar exception for Norma-Jean.}
