RIP. The People's Princess, Diana, Princess of Wales

So, 10 years ago, the Princess of Wales died in Paris. The Mistress was very upset, having met the Princess of Wales through work. She did, apparently, light up a room, as soon as she entered (the Princess, not the Mistress)!

For someone who brought so much joy to people's lives, her own life seemed pretty tragic and lonely, to me (apart from her sons and her charity work, obviously)!

I can't help but think if she had a constant companion in her life, of the CANINE kind, she wouldn't have ended up in Paris that weekend.

But, it's easy to play what if?.

Lots of visitors will be visiting my stomping ground of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park so I'm glad, for once, to be out of the city.

Dogfighting Undercover

Want to be depressed? I mean really depressed? Then watch tonight's Panorama. One thing's for sure, the Mistress definitely WON'T be tuning in; she'll keep her evening light with Big Brother - it's the penultimate night, after all. Tomorrow night we'll all know if Brian's won or whether the Twins will romp home!

Of course, if it were up to me, I'd vote Ziggy but that's because of Molly. That guy LOVES his dog - you can't fake that emotion! Forget Chanelle; Molly's his girl!

Anyway, back to the pitiful lives of the pitbulls and the very dirty business of dog fighting. I don't know what the answer is but I know what I'd like to see done to these guys. According to BBC online news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6970354.stm

"The team went to Finland and bought a pit bull from a breeder, who provided fake documents identifying the dog as a boxer-Labrador cross.

"They also witnessed a fight in Finland which ended in the death of one of the dogs, and where a badly injured dog was wired to the mains and electrocuted."

I'd fry those f***ers alive! Sorry, I don't normally resort to such bad language but I'm incensed!

And as if we didn't need further proof of the breakdown of society in inner-city Britain (the shocking murder of Rhys Jones to name but one), the Pananorama reporter observes:

"Even before Ellie Lawrenson was mauled to death by her uncle's pit bull on New Year's Eve, people in Liverpool knew what the dogs could do," she said.

How is it that these people have become so disconnected? Why has it happened? One things for sure, innocent people and pooches are paying the price.

Shocking and shameful.


If you check out Radio Times, this is what they say about the Panorama programme on BBC One tonight:

Investigation into the secret and dangerous world of international dogfighting. For a year and a half, a BBC undercover team operated alongside dogfighting gangs in the UK and Europe, capturing on camera the savagery of organised fights. The film also reveals how American pitbull terriers - a banned breed created to be the ultimate canine gladiator - have been sold by the gangs into inner city Britain.
