PRINCE Charles has put himself in life for Phoney of the Year Award.
The tree-hugging, eco-warrior prince’s recent accounts reveals he has spent a £1m on travel in the last year alone. One private jet journey with Camilla to the Far East cost £362,000. Thank goodness his Duchy of Corwall estate pocketed £21.7m and he didn’t have to rely on the £1.2m he trousers from the Government.
THE CATHOLIC Church in Kenya has suspended a priest for rapping his sermons.
Father Ogalo reckoned that rapping helped bring younger people into his flock, but the Church kicked him out for a year.
What is the Church’s problem? Frustration that Father Ogalo coudn’t find a word to rhyme with Jesus? Or were his sermons a little too radical?

KATY Perry took a bike ride along the Clyde and handed out tickets for her show to surprised youths, which reveals the American pop star hasn’t lost her gift for self-promotion.
THE KINKS are reforming. And why not, even though Dave Davies, 71, once suggested a reunion would be like the Night of the Living Dead. If “zombies” such as Jagger, Elton and Rod can keep on rocking stages why not the Muswell Hillbillies?
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
