I can guarantee some can't wait for The Guardian to feature it, Ken.

Re: Current Affairs
I’m not too sure what he has left to say.
He’s already been proven to be unreliable in his version of events.
I suppose he could once again go down the road of speaking for his brother and father but that will go down like a lead balloon and push him and his family even further away.
Markle only speaks to her mother in her family and he’s now obviously estranged from his.
As time passes, they will become more isolated and more irrelevant to the British public.
It’s such a shame because Harry was our favourite until he started telling lies publicly.

They don't seem to be endearing themselves to the Americans that much either.

Yes we liked Harry and thought Meghan was a breath of fresh air until it all went pear shaped.

Re: Current Affairs
We are talking of Daily Mail readers so maybe each sentence should be mono-syllable-ised and converted into 2 instalments

Re: Current Affairs
It all went pear-shaped when the firm thought Harry and Meghan were stealing the limelight from William and Catherine (remember the walkabouts) …from this point on the firm had it in for Meghan as she was the only one they could attack…. what we do know is William won’t have a bad word said about Harry or Meghan (under his name) as he knows he has far too much to lose by doing so…one word from Harry and William is finished.

No it all went pear shaped when Megan thought that she was "top dog" and she was not prepared to play second fiddle, no third if not fourth fiddle, to other members of the Royal familyOnelife wrote: 19 Feb 2022, 17:58It all went pear-shaped when the firm thought Harry and Meghan were stealing the limelight from William and Catherine

Re: Current Affairs
William has more sense than to get involved in a public slanging match with Harry - don't explain, don't complain. He is being well prepared for his destiny by his grandmother and he won't allow his bitter little brother to spoil it.
However I always wonder what is said in private as William doesn't strike me as somebody who would be pushed around.

Re: Current Affairs
I always liked Harry and thought he was one of the lads, a man’s man, that was until Meghan got her hooks into him. But that’s what happens when you marry outside the rank and file I guess. Just my own opinion.

Re: Current Affairs
The only reason I would like to see Harry come over for a visit is that it would please the Queen and I'm sure she'd like to see her great grandchildren, if he's allowed to bring them. As someone said if he makes a visit just to see the Queen he'd have police protection anyway. You can't buy protection from the police, it's not for sale. I can't see Meghan coming although I'm sure she's got enough nerve to brazen it out.

Re: Current Affairs
I was listening to Wes Streeting the shadow health secretary this morning on the ‘Sunday Morning’ show and I have to say he impressed me with articulate straight talking.
No avoiding questions of humming or arghing, just answered the questions. And I liked what I was hearing

Re: Current Affairs
More important things going on than them two.!
If Russia invades Ukraine,and it seems more than likely,what sanctions could the UK bring about.?
Would/could we take back properties etc owned by Russians.?
Could Abramovitch be forced to give up Chelsea.? Would Chelsea fans support that ?
I have no idea what would happen but I’m sure more learned members could put me right.

Re: Current Affairs
My worry is if Vlad is mad enough to go ahead and invade what will he stop at? The parallels with 1939 are scary and the stakes much higher. One finger on one button and no winners.

Is anyone mad enough to actually press the button, knowing that what comes back will be the same or maybe even more powerful. The destructive power of these things today is unimaginable and there can be no winners.

After the French guy spoke to Putin and Biden, they may well now kiss and make up. Hopefully.

I hope so but I'm worried Macron is being played as Chamberlain was.

Macron has an election coming, he needs to be seen as the leader who saved Europe.
