Quite incredibly how lightly Piers Morgan got off all that and has such a following.

Indeed, and of course if anyone illustrates Prince Harry's point about them being above the consequences they impose on everyone else then he is that person.

Viglen, faked torture photos, making stories out of private medical issues, repeated failures in business. None of it has affected him in the slightest.

At least there is a level of accountability and a grain of truth.
The internet is Wild West with no rules and accountability.
The fact checking sites can be set up by anyone.

You should see the state of the Irish Press. This is a poll question for peoples preferences for a united Ireland from the Irish equivalent of the Telegraph. The paper that would be most supportive of Leo Varadkar's Fine Gael party. It constantly amazes me that people think Varadkar wants a united Ireland.




No other options then?

That nest of snakes - him, Hodges, Woodcock, Austin etc - will be banging that drum from now until long after the next election. Truly vile individuals.

People who are offended by anyone.
Lack of opportunity for young people and the level of crime in inner cities.
Abuse/ignoring the elderly and failure to provide a suitable care system.
Impact on the environment of new housing developments whilst inner city brown sites are ignored.
Failure to provide cost effective public transport and rail links.
NHS not being run correctly at a senior level
Exploitation by energy companies who claim renewable energy but keep hiking prices
Failure to fund basic safe and reliable equipment to the armed forces whilst spending billions on useless aircraft carriers

really anything that might upset big business
