I think the people known as 'paparazzi' might be the lowliest form of life currently existing. Say what you like about serial killers, at least when they're lurking outside your home they have the courtesy to murder you and end the farce. Or perhaps I'm bitter because the young man currently crouching in a car at the end of my street like a wounded badger.

These creatures nest in trees taking photographs of women's underwear, people's day-to-day going-ons, and newborn infants. They would be arrested if they didn't justify themselves as 'giving the public what they want'. Well, the public are idiots. They don't know what they want. The public will want what they're given if they get enough of it.

Why are they taking pictures of you grandfather?

Because they made very poor life choices.

And your mother is correct. In that regard.

Of course. Mum is usually right about most things.

I could not agree more. Sadly those who are not important enough to be hounded seem to think it is their right to know what goes on in the lives of others. Ridiculous, but then there are a large amount of ridiculous people in the world.

Very true. In the land of the pigs, the butcher is king.

Yeah, and then when you threaten one with a hammer to get then to leave you the hell alone, they can sue you. It's shit.

They have no dignity whatsoever. I've seen them crowding someone's car with flash photography. It's unseemly.

Honestly, I don't know why they want pictures of me to begin with. I'm a person who was born to two nasty, cold people who happened to have money. So what?

I would prefer Britain's laws, where one can sue them if they look at you wrong. But I will not be held responsible if these canailles ever harass my daughter.

Oh, trust me, you wouldn't prefer Britain's laws. We're not much better. They're still out of control, even after they killed a princess.

That, sadly, happened in France.

I'm perfectly aware of that. My point is that even after these vultures caused the death of a widely beloved royal figure, the laws in Britain didn't change in any significant way.

We can certainly agree on that much.

Which is why it's a good idea to not invite any unnecessary scrutiny.

You have no idea how much I agree with you.

My parents are actors and because of it, my siblings and I are constantly hounded by the paparazzi when we're trying to do things like go to school.

I don't think you can take a picture of a woman's panties from a tree.

Unless she's not wearing anything over them, then I think pictures are the least of her problems.

No. They lie in the gutter with their cameras pointed upwards. They take 'gutter press' very literally.

That's true, and it is stupid.

I could scare off the ones bothering you right now. I can be pretty persuasive.

Still, I'm not an idiot and I'm not on your payroll so if they get butthurt it's not going to come back on you.

And I thought my life was awkward because of Claire's skype friend seeing me shirtless the other day That's the one thing I'm worried about with my music. Not the paparazzi taking pictures of me but of my family.

They always say that invasion of privacy is some sort of 'price' people pay. I think very few people are after fame itself.

And then there is the fact that they put others in danger on occasion, just so they can be the first with an exclusive photo.
