Oprah Harry & Meghan - well I thought it was fabulous TV. They are a sweet couple. The Palace did not deliberately try to destroy them; incompetence beats conspiracy every time in my book. The villains? The media (I love it; I've been in it for nearly 60 years and still am) but they do not care about consequences. They wanted a pliable pretty girl whenever they asked. When she started to say NO, they turned.

It's not just the Royal Family terrified of media Harry. Everyone is. Media runs the UK. Fine by me (I've been a part of it for almost 60 years and I love it). It is both good and bad. But it rules this country.

The amazing thing about media coverage is no "why did the Palace not support Archie and Meghan?" Come on; we all know why. Media headlines "ROYAL FAMILY waste millions on runaway Prince's family". Doh! But sometimes it dawns on me; most haven't actually experienced the power media has over every side of life.

Not just the UK but also Canada and USA. I think "trial by social media" is much worse in the UK especially the "Doxing" craze that goes on.

Good old Oprah. Very fussy about protecting her own private life, but no concern about waddling all over any one else's. And that self-important look of hers - jesus effing christ! These two idiots, unqualified to lecture the world on anything except solipsism, moaning about no longer getting several million of public money each year, being feted by so many credulous idiots. What a moronic world in which we live.

Yep I have just been watching BBC politics show and they had a 5 minute item on the ongoing genocide in China. The big question was: should we boycott the Winter Olympics?

That will sock it to the viscious murdering totalitarian bastards won't it. The only question is: should the UN invade China? Genocide debated through sport.

Meanwhile H&M moan with 24/7 coverage...

I haven't watched the full interview yet but wonder if bitterness about money is the main reason for them doing the interview and lobbing the racism grenade.
