Do you mean that 100% protection from sniper and mortar fire barbed wire?

sorry don't quite understand your response, perhaps I am just being thick. I don't really think that anybody can have 100% protection from danger, all that can be done is minimising risks although this doesn't necessarily mean he is safe.

Harry was in Danger like the rest of the troops theres no point thinking he was hiding away underground, you seen the pictures of him at an outpost firing on the Taliban.

Why do people seem so willing to put him down, he has fought for his country which is probably much more than you would do. Give him a break.

It was at least preferable to see Harry in a British army uniform as opposed to Nazi fancy dress. However I feel he should never have been in the army in the first place. I admire him along with the many others who volunteer to fight, but whether he is courageous or not isn't really the point.

The fact that he is a 'bullet magnet', and that his presence in Afghanistan in any way endangered the lives of others makes the discussion over his bravery null and void. He shouldn't have been there full stop.

Although the Royal family certainly generate money for Britain and are very good for our public relations, how much is spent by the taxpayer on protecting and cosseting them, investigating their deaths and paying for expensive tributes to or building monuments for them? Do the sums add up?

'To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity'.

harry is in a no win situation. people will believe the papers and nitpick at his life until the day he dies. as for serving, i think he has done his country proud, he has had the experience that at times he never thought he would have. to serve and work alongside normal people and live a normal life for just a few weeks anyway.

on the grid.

Its the damn Yanks fault...:hahaha: :D

I do feel sorry for him, because he wanted to do it, and now he's getting called a coward, just because he got pulled out - but if he stayed, he'd be a prime target, putting other soldiers in danger.

However, I'm joining the army, this year or the next, and I just think that he's milking it for all he's got - other soliders are in danger all the time, yet they don't get that kind of attention. It's not like the royal family does anything, anyway...

The most heroic act is the one that no-one knows about.

But if he had stayed out there, other soldiers would have been at even more risk. I wouldn't want him with me, not because I don't like him or anything, just because he's going to be more of a target.

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
