Harry and Meghan to resign

Plead and plea are different words.

Maybe an analogy will help you understand:

There's this guy, right. He has his own business, driving a taxi. When the light's on, you're free to hop in. When the light's off, you're not. Just because you got a lift on Saturday night, it doesn't mean you can jump in the cab anytime you like.

It's really not that complicated.

There's this guy, right. His rich uncle bought him a beautiful house and gave him virtually unlimited spending money. One day the nephew started lecturing the uncle about saving the the planet and reducing pollution, but he caught a private jet (using uncles money) to come and tell the uncle this in person rather than over a Zoom call. His uncle thought he was being a self righteous, sanctimonious little sod. The nephew got upset and felt he was being picked on for no reason.

You think the EU is corrupt? Wait until you hear about the Conservative Party. You remember them? They're the party that you slavishly vote for every single time because the Daily Mail and the posh man on the telly box told you to.

The funny thing is that no-one who voted remain pretended that the EU was perfect, we just didn't think that taking a sledgehammer to the British economy was worth the non-existent benefits of Brexit. The other difference is that not one single remainer will defend any individual involved in the EU Corruption Scandal, whereas you will defend Boris and his corrupt Tory colleagues to the death.

Hate to break it to you but there are sleazy MP's on both sides - doesn't make it right but its not systemic corruption on the scale of what we are seeing with the EU.

Sure... there totally isn't a job for life waiting for these MP's somewhere for lobbying against the country's interests and those PPE contracts were perfectly honest.

And I hate to break it to you... but no-one is defending any EU corruption. In fact the sooner they lock up any wrong doers, the better. Whereas you'd rather chop off your own arm then criticise your beloved Tory Masters.

Would it help you to believe it if it were written on the side of a double decker bus? Or maybe a punchy three word slogan, something like "Tories are corrupt!" That usually seems to do the trick for right-wingers...

So you agree that the EU is systemically corrupt?

When Sunak gets arrested with piles of cash under his bed then maybe you have a point but I’m not going to get outraged by Boris and a few stale sandwiches during lockdown.

How Christine Lagarde kept out of jail and even more remarkable kept her job after the scandals she has been at the head of I don't know. A bit more serious than a few well deserved drinks and some cake during lockdown. It was no surprise to me to read that EU MP's had suitcases of dirty money in their homes and offices. It was no surprise when the left leaning media had minimal and discrete coverage of this scandal.

The Tapie affair: the French scandal that put Christine Lagarde in the dock

Christine Lagarde’s job posting as the next president of the European Central Bank is a triumph for the Frenchwoman whose career was only recently under threat from a conviction for “negligence” over a huge payout to a business tycoon when she was finance minister.

Press watchdog ducks Murdoch dinner date after deluge of Clarkson complaints

Exclusive: Ipso head declines private invite after receiving 12,000 complaints about Jeremy Clarkson Sun column attacking Meghan

If all had gone to plan, the chair of the UK’s main press regulator would have spent Monday night enjoying a private dinner at Rupert Murdoch’s Mayfair flat.

Instead, Edward Faulks cancelled his plans after the Guardian asked why he had booked a dinner date with the billionaire media mogul.

Faulks, a peer and former Conservative minister, is chair of the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso), which oversees the output of Murdoch’s British newspapers.

His organisation is assessing Murdoch’s Sun for a potential breach of press standards. It has spent the past 48 hours dealing with thousands of complaints relating to Jeremy Clarkson’s Saturday column about the Duchess of Sussex, in which the columnist said he loathed Meghan “on a cellular level”.

The Sun has now removed Clarkson’s column from its website, while the piece has attracted 12,000 complaints – almost as many as Ipso received about all stories in the whole of 2021.

It is unclear which of Ipso’s current rules could have been engaged as it does not admonish member newspapers for causing offence, and has broad guidelines for comment pieces.

A spokesperson for Ipso confirmed that Faulks had cancelled his plans to attend the private dinner with Murdoch and other executives at his News UK media company as a result of Clarkson’s comments attracting attention.

They said: “As part of his role as chairman of Ipso, Lord Faulks often meets publishers and editors. Lord Faulks was due to attend a longstanding engagement this evening hosted by Rupert Murdoch and attended by News UK executives. Because of the volume of complaints about Jeremy Clarkson’s column, Lord Faulks felt his attendance would not be appropriate at this time and has explained this to the organisers.”

It might be. But the difference is that I'm a well rounded enough individual to say so. You? You'll never admit to any Tory Corruption.

You forgot the bit where he lied to Parliament on multiple occasions, had undocumented meetings with KGB agents, lobbied to get a sex pest off the hook, didn't bother to turn up to crucial COBRA Committee meetings at the beginning of the pandemic leading to tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, refurbished his house without knowing who was paying for it, and became the first sitting PM to be convicted of a crime.

There are more but that will do for now. But the upshot is, that you love him, will always love him and will never say anything negative against him no matter how dangerously incompetent or corrupt he is because you're easily led and believe any old rubbish you've been told so long as it agrees with your existing viewpoint.

Cognitive dissonance FTW!

It's the same with Harry and Meghan. You don't know these people, you've never met them, you're never going to meet them. They might very well be lovely for all you know. But you hate them because you've been told to hate them, and like all easily led folk, you fall for it every single time.

Ok the EU is systemically corrupt so we are better off out of it so those buses did us all a favour - just to go back to your original point.

As for Boris he has resigned so get over it - but I'd rather have a PM whose only 'crime' is eating a stale sandwich whilst someone sings happy birthday.

And as for the entitled actress and spoiled prince its the rank hypocrisy that is rightly called out by the media - if they stopped trying to monetise the royal links then the media will soon get bored.

Nope, the hit to our global reputation and GDP was most definitely not worth it.

This may shock you, but the magic bus lied...

Cognitive dissonance THAT bad that you can't even bear to read anything negative about Boris? Don't worry, criticising him or the Tories won't affect your chances of a knighthood...

So you agree.

You hate them because you've been told to hate them, and like all good little sheep, you've done exactly as you've been told.

BAAAAAAA!!!
 
told to hate them ... LOL you can see their behaviour and interviews and form your own opinion, unless that's a deep fake.

more than that, but, like facebook/twitter , don't people watch whatever the algorithm, or, their internet guru(musk/clarkson...), proposes to them.
