    Harry and the press

    I have very little time for Meghan and increasingly less for Harry, but I do think that he -and others- are right in bringing certain elements of press behaviour to book. Sure, the targets are celebrities because people love gossip but what they see as being "in the public interest" isn't really always the case.

    Whilst I understand that it's a symbiotic relationship between celebrities and press and that they both use each other, once that tipping point from moving from build them up to knock them down is reached, the press have engaged in underhand, if not downright illegal, activities. Freedom of the press is one thing, but certain elements deliberately cross the line and, to me, their argument about some of these examples being older than the 6 year limit doesn't hold water and is an indication of their guilt.

    The millions from the book sale selling his family down the river was not enough for the greedy ginger w anker! He’s come back to the U.K. for one main reason - to get even more money!

    Why do they shysters not give all the money they may win to charity? The greed is staggering!
