Police have arrested two men over an attempt to blackmail a member of the British royal family with an alleged sex tape, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The British Sunday Times newspaper said the pair had approached the unnamed royal family member and demanded ?50,000 ($100,000) not to publicize a video allegedly showing the royal engaged in a sex act.

The blackmailers also claimed to have evidence suggesting the royal had supplied an aide with an envelope containing cocaine, the newspaper said.

The newspaper said it could not identify the royal family member for legal reasons.

The Sunday Times said the blackmailers' target contacted police and two suspects were arrested at a London hotel on September 11 after an undercover police operation.

Buckingham Palace did not comment on the allegations, but former Royal Press Secretary Dickie Arbiter told British broadcaster SKY that things were now "in police hands."

"The two individuals have appeared before Westminster Court in September. They are due to appear in court at the Old Bailey (the Central Criminal Court) in December," Arbiter said.

"It is a police matter," he added. "It is now out of the hands of Buckingham Palace."

In response to queries about the report, London police confirmed that two men, aged 30 and 40, had appeared at a London court on September 13 charged with blackmail.

They were ordered detained until a hearing at London's Central Criminal Court on December 20.

The police would give no details of the case or identify the suspects.

Funny that the only time that I''ve heard of Ron Paul is when they jump out of the blue to spam any open webspace that will allow free members of a free society to exercise their right to free speech . . .

I want to tell you about a major fire, my friends. Our Constitution is on fire. And it''s currently being burned in Congress. See H.R. 1955, a.k.a., Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. I couldn''t believe it. Apparently, activists with Web sites are really begining to anger the elite insofar as they are publically holding them accountable for their evil. Here''s a part of the bill, which passed the house on Oct 23, in spite of Congressman, Ron Paul''s opposition thereto. The right to free speech on the Internet is gone, my friends. Look it up for yourself, and weep for your country that our rights have eroded this far. Here''s a short excerpt from the bill''s DEFINITIONS statement: "The development and implementation of methods and processes that can be utilized to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in the United States is critical to combating domestic terrorism." Here''s another excerpt from the bill''s FINDINGS statement: "The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens." And guess who get''s to decide what is "terrorist-related propaganda?" You got it! The Department of Homeland Insecurity, an agency that''s answerable ONLY to The President. If Ron Paul isn''t elected, our country is doomed!

It doesn''t really say that the person made a s-e-x tape, it could be that it is the result of someone else taping them without them knowing it.

Post it up on the web! They didn''t pay, so let''s see it.

Not that I''d actually want to, mind you, I just get tickled about British "royals" being taken down a peg or two, they are an idea whose time passed long ago, and not only are a drain on British resources, but have done nothing for Britain, except a few more tourists coming to see the changing of the guard.

What''s mildly amusing about this story is that the id.iots who did the blackmailing only asked for $50K Euro. Why bother? Hahaha, they deserve what they get. Why these rich mo.rons keep making s.e.x tapes is beyond me. When will they learn?
