Millionaire's daughter

[FredPuli43]

What is the logic in The Daily Telegraph having a front page, 3 column, three quarter page photo and a full inside page report, and The Times having a double page spread, on the guilty verdicts on "the miilonaire's daughter" convicted of one offence of burglary and one of handling stolen goods in the London riots? Do these papers have a substantial millionaire readership? Why is this minor participant afforded such coverage?

maybe because it might have been expected, given her circumstance of privilege, that daddy would have had strings pulled and quietly persuaded the authorities to drop the matter?

It would seem that she is just not the ordinary Millionaire's daughter, she is the daughter not many would be proud of, seeing that she has led such a chequered life-style.

I think the father's wealth is a bit dodgy................

The " Logic is that it's unusual . " How often do millionaires son or daughters end up in the dock.? I would have thought that was obvious.

There's no news in Y

What a wonderful testament to the education and upbringing that this young lady had.

A spell at HM's pleasure ought to prepare her for the life she seeks.

cont. There's no news in Yobs being in the dock but a pampered millionaire's daughter is another matter and facing a prison sentence even better.

The education seems to have flown out of the window when the hormones kicked in.................
