2007-08-08 00:59 Royal Outrage in Denmark
"Royal security is under urgent review in Denmark after the publication of lurid photographs purporting to show a prostitute posing naked astride the thrones of Queen Margrethe II and her consort, Prince Henrik. Even in Scandinavia, where attitudes toward nudity are relaxed, the stunt has prompted outrage at the insult to the popular Royal Family." While many US bloggers observed that it all felt like a big Danish hoax, weekly magazine See and Hear, which broke the photos 'neath the headline " …

2007-07-30 05:03 Nude Prostitute An Unwelcome Royal Cohort
Security officials for Denmark's Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik are enraged by photographs purporting to show a nude prostitute on the royal thrones.

The 43-year-old woman in the photos allegedly snapped the pictures herself. The photos first appeared in the magazine See and Hear and now …

Tom has exclusively given Scottish Futures this essay (available on extended post below) on Gordon Brown's Prime Minister-ship, commissioned by the Copenhagen magazine AvisenWeekend. An extract: The 2007 United Kingdom has become divided into two parts: …

2006-02-11 16:23 The difference between them and us
As a tongue-in-cheek gesture, Egypt paper Al Multaga Dawli prints a manipulated image of the Royal Danish Queen Margrethe II as a belly-dancer. This is probably the worst mockering of danes imaginable. A royal insult used to carry the death sentence in Denmark. However, that was in the Middle Ages. I hardly doubt any Danes will boycot Egyptian products because of this, burn their flag in the streets or attack their embassy in Copenhagen. If they do, I promise to update the map. If anything, dane …
