As we all know, Diana, Princess of Wales, tragically died in a car crash 20 years ago today.
I was only seven, nearly 8 at the time, I remember my nan, and my mum watching the news all day, in utter shock.
I remember seeing people crying outside Buckingham Palace, and Kensington Palace, whilst the hoards of cellophane wrapped flowers grew and grew.
I even remember crying during the funeral because the music made me sad.
I also remember the mood of the public towards the royal family, and I as I look back, I am ashamed of us as a nation.
We bayed for the royals tears, not blood, but tears. We demanded the Queen publicly mourned, we demanded two young boys, who've just lost their mother, cry in front of us.
Basically, I believe, we as a nation, took away the right for the two teenagers to grieve the loss of their mother in private.
Imagine you've just lost your mum, and suddenly the press and the a nation want your grandmother for themselves? Want you to cry your tears in front of them?
You'd be angry, you'd say no. But they didn't, they gave us what we wanted, not what they needed.
How disgusting of us to take away that right from them. I don't believe Diana herself would have wanted her boys to be publicly sort after like that.
Even now we're still demanding to hear how they feel about their mother, about their grief, if they're over it.
So as a nation I believe we owe the Royal family, especially Princes William, and Harry, an apology, because we were selfish, we took away their rights to grieve as we all do ourselves, in private.

Venezuela
Venezuela is currently going through bankruptcy.
Inflation is at 176%, according to reuters from 7th July last month. The unelected, ex track driver, Maduro, is having anyone who opposes his presidency, which is quickly becoming a dictatorship, either killed or locked up.
The left as a whole are trying to point fingers elsewhere as the rest of the world points out socialism has failed the very people it's supposed to help, the poor.
The poor are even poorer, food banks are empty, no basic medical supplies, whilst Maduro sits quite comfortably with food to eat, and medical care on hand should he need it.
Yet, all people like Jeremy Corbyn supporters can say is "Yeah but, Saudi Arabia."
Yes Saudi is bad, no we shouldn't be arming them, however Theresa May isn't stating that there is an alternative way to live, and Saudi is the best place to be.
Also when Labour were in power, they also sold arms to Saudi, "Yeah but, that was Blair and New Labour." Isn't an argument either.
The fact that Jeremy Corbyn cannot bring himself to condemn the dictator, but instead finds himself condemning "all violence, from all sides"
Not good enough.
Socialism is the path to communism, just look at Cuba, and China.
Cuba doesn't allowed their people to move with gaining permission, not allowed to move jobs without permission, not allowed to take a weeks holiday without permission.
The only union is owned by the Cuban government in which protests, and strikes are illegal, in other words expressing a difference of opinion is illegal.
50% of all your wages the government keep.
Same for China, and what was the Soviet Union. Freedoms are there only for the one in charge, the unelected, brutal dictators, such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Fidel.
Socialism has always failed, and will continue to do so.
Why? Because those who say they "believe" in it are also quite happy to live in a capitalist state, using their Apple's or Android devices, to use social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram.
Or in other cases such as, Owen Jones for instance, he'll damn capitalism, but doesn't mind it when his book has gone to number one.
Or Vivienne Westwood, a self confessed anti-capitalist, yet has one of the most expensive brands out there.
Or Russell Brand, who's had many sold out comedy tours, books, and TV shows.
It's all bad until it benefits them.
This is exactly what's wrong with Corbyn and co refusing to condemn the Mudaro regime, it benefits them not to.
Live like capitalist, talk like a socialist. They all do it, from dictators, to pathetic party leaders, to boring and predictable so called socialists.
