Harry and Meghan to resign

[110%]

previous days cross-examination of H, many/all of the leaks he raised were in other publications first, or could not have been Mirror phone hacking (he had no phone),
defence should have done it's homework to just discuss less defensible leaks, or, at least, acknowledge the problem.

So their defence would be that they copied stories from other papers, such as the News of the World that was shut-down because of phone hacking?

Or admit that they did so much phone hacking themselves that they couldn't tell which of their stories are from phone hacking, and which came from other sources?

But then expect anyone to believe them, that they didn't actually hack the guy that is suing them.

I suspect Harry is probably right in what he is saying but has no real proof that it happened.

But rather than bury it and move on, he wants to take the media to task.

Unfortunately, there is every likelihood he'll lose and end up looking a bit silly.

Let's be honest, even if he wins the case then the usual mob will be giving it.. "yea, but no, but don't you think his wife is a bit of a cow.."

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Reading the reports today, I feel as though I must be missing something here.

He said he's not aware of any evidence he had been hacked by the Mirror but he's gone to court to accuse them of hacking his voicemail. Even though some of the alleged instances of hacking were from when he didn't actually have a phone.

Is that an accurate summary?

Listening to The News Agents, the thought seems to be that all he wanted to do was have his say in court, knowing that it would all be reported. Whether it was The Mirror is irrelevant. He is only one of numerous people bringing this action though.

The World according to Harry

'Whatever the cause, my memory is my memory, it does what it does, gathers and curates as it sees fit, and there's just as much truth in what I remember and how I remember it as there is in so-called objective facts.'

and Boris

maybe Boris can move to the USA too, amongst his friends ,who want to lap up his after dinner speeches(fairy tales)

You suggested earlier today that Boris's epitaph will be the same as Silvio Berlusconi's, and that "maybe boris will be singing on cruise ships soon, for a crust of bread".

Seems you think in reality he has some very viable and lucrative alternatives now then, does it?

 

[jpaul]

well boris decided to apply his skills at the Daily Mail , despite vacancy at spotify with Harry & Meghan cancelled

 

[Chris Wilson]

A "High six figure sum" for penning aricles for the Daily Mail along with his after dinner speaking should see him avoid the need for singing on cruise ships any time soon

You just can't keep a good Boris down.

Combine private school fees at the rate he's reproducing Boris will need all the money he lay his hands on.

Spotify executive calls Harry and Meghan ‘grifters’ after podcast deal ends

Bill Simmons, head of podcast innovation and monetisation at Spotify, spoke out after the couple’s $20m deal with the company ended prematurely

www.theguardian.com

Doesn't surprise me at all, $20m multi year deal and only 12 episodes made, Spotify was never going to make money on these two once with so little content being produced.

...sources close to Spotify have said the royal couple did not meet the productivity benchmark required to receive the full headline payout from the deal, having only produced one 12-episode series, the Wall Street Journal reported

Reading through the article Spotify are losing money handover fist from trying to expand the company into the Podcast business and now their under pressure to cut costs and ending the business relationship with Harry and Magen was just a part of cutting out the dead wood.

Utter humiliation on Carrie though, the man is joke, he absolutely will cheat on her, one way or another that relationship is doomed and another bunch of kids will grow up without a father around. Well done Boris.

 

[Chris Wilson]

It's unfashionable and probably very un PC to condemn single parent families or divorce between couples with youngish children as a cause of issues or disadvantage for their children.

Maybe the fathers should stop abandoning their kids? Not very masculine behaviour...

Most divorces are initiated by the woman, do you just hate men and masculinity in general? Maybe you should ask yourself why that is.

I agree, but knowing a couple of divorce solicitors the opinion is it's usually instigated by women despite the husband wanting to stay together for the sake of the kids. One might have hoped the motherly bond would usurp things not being TV show perfect, but no, many women seem to put themselves very much foremost.

 

[Freakbro]

And this is where your outdated and myopic view of the world shines through as usual.

'Staying together for the sake of the kids' can do more damage to them if the dual parent relationship is a toxic non-functioning one than if they are brought up in a nuturing single parent/and or step-parent environment.

And anyway, I'm not sure why you guys immediately jumped on the 'it's womens fault for divorce' (silly me, of course we know...) when talking about men abandoning their kids....or do you think only married men have kids and abandon them?

I think the rate of divorce initiated by women would be indicative of the gender that also typically ends a relationship first as well. I don't think people should stay together if they're toxic, though I'd imagine most people who stay together are simply apathetic towards each other and are simply unfulfilled in their relationship due to a lack of attraction and romantic feelings rather than it being toxic.

This is why men should stop marrying the first lady that says yes to their desperate plea for a wife. Any marriage that is based on the aesthetic of being a family rather than actually wanting it is doomed and they deserve it.

Sure, we can go with that but it's a pretty meaningless statistic in this context if you dont know the reason why, wouldnt you say?

I mean, its more usual for domestic violence to be from male to female. You wouldn't expect them to put up with that for the sake of the kids would you?

You can't make the inference that because women end more relationships than men, it's because they are being selfish and not thinking of the children, as Chris pretty much said.

I don't think people should stay together if they're toxic, though I'd imagine most people who stay together are simply apathetic towards each other and are simply unfulfilled in their relationship due to a lack of attraction and romantic feelings rather than it being toxic.

Yea, that's true as well. I'd have no idea how common either types are, but people staying in antagonistic relationships 'for the sake of the children' isn't that rare. It's maybe another reason why the statistic of women ending relationships is gender skewed, as men have more of an expectation on them to do that, and thus put up with more emotional abuse in their relationships, which they shouldn't!

The point I'm making is the statement and attitude that you should just stay together for the children, because that's by default the best and right thing to do, is just plain wrong. Giving a loving and stable environment for the children is the most important thing to do.

I'm not just talking abstractly about this either, I've been involved in the early years sector for over 10 yrs now, my partner has worked in/owned a nursery for 30+ yrs, her daughter is doing a Phd in developmental psychology. That's a lot of experience of families and how the home life affects their behaviour and development.
