I really don't think we get the news as the news really is anymore from papers.
They all, in my view, adjust, add to or take away from, or put their own agendas onto the news they publish.
No matter their political persuasion, left or right.


My Father was a Times and Telegraph reader.
However he stopped buying them from 2013 onwards.
I must admit and concede I've never been over my life a reader of any of the papers.
I treat them more as fiction or comics.
I just think the UK is really badly served by so called news publications.
Sadly and unfortunately.

Yes, I think maybe we have had this conversation...

I do tend to agree with you. The only time I buy a newspaper is if I have some time to kill, say on a train journey. I do love a crossword.

I agree with all of that Joey (despite accusations that anyone who isn't a Trump fan is brainwashed by the Mainstream Media ), I would say though that for me anyway, it is important to still be aware of what's being said in the mainstream papers, it can give good insight. It's important to know what people are seeing.

Arista's front-page-galleries are quite handy for that, I will admit. A useful service provided.

oop

There are people in this world who behave as though they are above the law and mistreat people, and then play the victim card and use the very press they disdain to harm people who have the courage to challenge their conduct.

Not Harry being accused of being racist, how the worm turns eh

African Parks Charity.
Newsweek Jan 2024

Prince Harry was warned about "vicious" rapes and sent a video testimony about human-rights abuses by rangers employed by a charity, months before he was promoted to the organization's board of directors.

Survival International urged the Duke of Sussex to "use your influence and position to stop these abuses being committed" against Baka tribespeople in the Republic of Congo, on May 31, 2023, while he was president of African Parks.
The letter, shared with Newsweek, was addressed to both Harry and Meghan Markle and read: "In light of the Duke's role as President of African Parks, and your shared commitment to oppose racism and injustice, I am writing to alert you to appalling human rights abuses being committed by African Park rangers against Baka Indigenous hunter-gatherer people in the Republic of Congo, in what is now Odzala-Kokoua National Park.

Longo's letter to Harry and Meghan continued: "Many Baka people have personally told me how African Parks rangers in Odzala-Kokoua have evicted them from their land, forcing them into starvation, and tortured Baka who try to access or hunt on their ancestral land.
"They described to me abuse by rangers including: pouring scalding hot wax onto Baka men's backs and whipping them; beating them with belts; holding their heads underwater in a river; raping an Indigenous woman while she was holding her two-month-old baby; and raping a 18-year old Baka boy," the letter added.

"The pressure group told Newsweek they were initially encouraged when he replied saying he had escalated their concerns.
Survival International decided to go public after showing Harry had accepted a promotion, despite the allegations: "Then we found out that Prince Harry had joined the board of directors at the end of October and I was quite shocked. "Before he had an honorary title, it was more symbolic.

"That's when we thought 'why is he joining the board of an organization that we have just told him has human-rights abuses and which the CEO hasn't been very helpful.' It was then that we thought, 'We would need to go public'."

This has meant calling for Prince Harry to cut ties with African Parks. Survival International told Newsweek: "Prince Harry can help stop this violent injustice by taking a stand against African Parks and fortress conservation right now.
………………………………………
One year later, Harry has still done nothing and is still on the board of directors. In fact, in september he attended a New York event held by the charity…..
…...and now this Sentebale problem. His caring, compassionate facade is as fake as his wifes. He’s a disgrace.

This is pretty grim reading

From what he did to his family it’s no real surprise how low he will go.

He really needs another hobby. Perhaps stamps collecting. Although there would be lots of pics of his Nan and Dad... Maybe not stamps after all.

Now the narrative has changed, they were 'forced out' ...jeez this guy is unbelievable ....did they not force the Queens hand by posting on their site that they wanted to have the best of both worlds.... recollections may vary indeed

Harry already gets security when he comes here, but Harry is insisting upon armed security, like The King/The Queen, the future King/Queen receive.
Other working Royals like Princess Anne only get security when carrying out public duties. Non - working Royals like Beatrice or Zara get no security at all.
Why should UK taxpayers fork out money for top notch security for a non working Royal who doesn’t even live here?
When will this entitled, self important idiot understand what a kindergarten kid could grasp?

He actually went there - and briefed his counsel to bring up the terrifying prolonged New York car chase which never was, to prove how much his and Megs life is in danger. To quote Cherie "jeez, this guy is unbelievable"!
