Princess Diana and other good ways to Waste Taxpayer's Money

Next week, a hearing begins to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Princess Diana.

As if the countless documentries, investigations, reports and articles hadn't already picked over every single aspect of the unfortunate accident with a fine flea-comb!

Just last December, a lengthy British police investigation ruled that the crash which killed Diana was an accident and decided that she was not the victim of an elaborate murder plot.

A two-year French investigation has already reached the same conclusion.

Which begs the question: Why are we having ANOTHER bloody hearing?

The woman's been dead for over a decade now. Certainly, there are unanswered questions regarding how Dodi and Diana died - but is it really in the public interest for thousands of pounds to be channeled into ANOTHER tedious, repetitive and ultimately pointless hearing?

Almost 3,500 people die every year on the roads of Great Britain. Unfortunately, because none of those poor people were 'the Queen of Hearts,' their deaths are usually buttoned up and filed away with the minimum of fuss and effort. Case closed - as Diana's should be.

Britain needs to move on. To paraphrase one of the lines from the Oscar winning Helen Mirren film The Queen: "Princess Diana manages to be even more annoying dead than she was alive."
