update

Dear all, 

I'm pretty angry at Cergy for not putting up the photocopies I had made of the relevant pages of Poverty and Welfare in Britain. What a complete waste of my time. 
However the photocopies are also available in the library of Les Chênes : just ask for the book at the front desk. 

A quick read through the British papers ought to have interested you : Prince Harry was serving in Afghanistan for the last couple weeks. The British media had agreed to keep it quiet until he came home in order not to endanger him and his fellow soldiers. 
In the Guardian the journalist drew  a parallel with Prince Edward of Wales ( later Edward VIII) who had not been allowed to serve on the frontlines during World War I. Now the media and the public opinion are split on how to interpret "Harry's War" : 
- was it a media/PR (=public relations) stunt (=une cascade ; un coup médiatique)?
- was he genuinely sent there to serve as a 'normal military personnel)?
