And what about the other revelation that they were cut off without a penny when Daddy supported then throughout the summer

I though the money paid was Charlies way of saying “look after yourselves” we’ve stopped your security.

It’s what’s known in Royal circles as a severance payment

I thought their severance payment was the 12 months that the UK taxpayer paid for their security.

Once a Royal always a Royal so in the unlikely event that they fall on hard times I think the UK taxpayer should foot the bill… as is the case with other Royals.

I loved the picture in the article as it showed how much people adored the couple, understandable when you consider they had so much to offer this country.

Did you intend that in the past tense?

The Royal Fsmily are actually good value for money when you consider how much they bring in in promoting tourism, trade and business opportunities, their roles in the armed forces, not to mention all the charities which they head up. I agree though, that some of those who do b****r all should be cut from the civil list and be made to make their own way in life.

On a slightly different tack I was surprised today to see Prince Philip spoke four languages; Greek, French, German and of course English. Having listened to him speaking French and then German it was pretty fluent as well. I did hear that HM is also a fluent French speaker.

Prince Philip spent a lot of his early education in France and Germany.

The Royal Family is a lot cheaper than having a President. The costs of regular elections outweighs the cost of Her Madge.

I’m sure there are statistics out there that say Harry and Meghan’s popularity rating have gone down but these statistics are generated as a consequence of the ‘Firm’ feeding the media with racial motivated/she’s not worthy lies about her. Basically, they couldn’t tolerate another “people’s princess” ever getting her foot in the door.

As for ‘past tense’ bad deeds always come back and haunt you so they’ll be more than one residing Royal looking over their shoulder for the next few years, of that, I am sure.

That pair, Harry and MeAgain have told so many lies I wouldn't believe two words they strung together, let alone the convenient racist card.

I wonder why someone who is at least 75% white considers herself black, and why is this view not considered anti white racism?

Hancock to resign today ?

If not, there is NOTHING that is a resigning matter for this government!

The penny has dropped at last Gill.
They are shameless but…….. they have one of the biggest majorities in history and are literally untouchable.
I would add that it’s unlikely that they won’t walk the next election as well, so all we can do is chill and go along for the ride.
If Labour can’t hold Monday’s by-election, then we know exactly where we stand.

Because she has a white father and a black mother which makes her 50% white 50% black... and probably uses a lighter shade of makeup.

Just been reading Watford's Footy Website.

They are offering jabbing facilities, albeit no local parking, to anybody who wants one. No ID is required so does this suggest to you ( as it does to me ) that there are a goodly number of illegals out there potentially spreading the virus to the rest of the population. Other Hot Spots are also places where illegals are present in large numbers.

Just saying and no I am not a racist.

Not so apparently unless there is an even spread of ancestors of the same shade throughout the ages.

Looking at her mother's skin tone I would be surprised if she does not have some caucasian in her background.

More Tory Sleeze , Affairs happen, but most affairs don`t result in one person giving another person an high profile. well paid job. Same Old Tory, Same Sleezey Story But hey what does it matter these days?

[david63]

I wouldn't say that £15,000 a year is a high paid job

[oldbluefox]

The character who provided the picture probably got as much as that. Always somebody lurking in the shadows ready to spill the beans for a nice little earner.
Hancock won't be the first and won't be the last but I suppose it titillates some.

The procedures for Governmental job applications are well documented and were introduced as a consequence of pressure from the left wing Trade Unions some years ago. There is no evidence that I am aware of to suggest that these procedures were not correctly followed.

I doubt he will - Johnsons government is built entirely on incompetence, dishonesty and nepotism.

[Bensham33]

Yet more Government hypocrisy. One rule for them and one for the rest of us. But that's all it is. I guess that the only person who can sack Hancock is the PM and he's hardly in a position to sack someone for having an affair is he?
The people I would sack are the security firm who allowed these CCTV images to be used and Gina's optician.

[oldbluefox]

I doubt he will - Johnsons government is built entirely on incompetence, dishonesty and nepotism.

And still managed a hefty majority in the last election.
