The Harry and Meghan fuss

[oldius]

He said something hateful, that he would want to publicly shame and humiliate a woman and have excrement thrown at her. He should publicly apologise, which he has not yet done, and the papers that published his words should condemn them.

The palace, in its silence, effectively condones his words. It does not matter what they have previously done or not done. We have a new king and he has an opportunity to change the relationship that the monarchy has with the press. He could stop these words instantly by simply saying that until those words are condemned, there will be no more official access to palace photographs. By not doing that, he unofficially authorises the targeting of Meghan by papers that his organisation has an implicit, and official, relationship with.

The relevance of Camila is that she attended a party with the perpetrator of this hate, only the day before. Naturally, a link will be made. It does not matter whose party it was, nor who organised it.

The stuff about Camilla is very OTT on here, again.

If it was the day after the article was released, it would be a story. But it wasn’t so it isn’t.

Yep that’ll certainly get the blood boiling within the Alf Garnet brigade. Btw, how much would most of us give to have that NZ prime minister running our country

Presumably so, I don't recall hearing of anything quite as awful as this one.

The thing is I don't know what IPSO (or whoever the complaints people are) can do - the Sun will say it's a comment piece and doesn't advocate harm directly (although it is obviously just another piece which inflames and will encourage if unchecked).

If recommending the parading of a woman naked through the streets and urging people to throw 'excrement' at her - even we accept it was intended in jest - is not 'advocating harm', I'm not sure what is.

I wonder how long that's been in development.

RBG has died, so we've seen loads of stuff about her already, Thunberg has had plenty of in depth focus, Siya Kolisi the same, he had a huge documentary on him, Stevensen had a biopic film a couple of years ago.

It feels a bit like they're covering already very well covered ground.

I'm forseeing a million "Thank god we cancelled Netflix" and "That's that then, I'm cancelling Netflix now!" comments on social media.

why would they do that? If they do then they couldn't see more content to get even more offended?

Jeremy Clarkson ‘apologised’ for his outrageous Meghan Markle column and got all the responses he deserved

You’ll have seen by now the outrage that greeted Jeremy Clarkson’s latest column in the Sun, in which he said this about Meghan Markle. You can read our pick of the responses here, although Carole Vorderman spoke for many, many people when she said this. NO Jeremy Clarkson. Not on any level, in...

He's an idiot, now saying he doesn't like her or Harry should have been what he stuck to.
