Of course, but a high school meejah studies student would have done it in a better, subtler way. It was incompetence making it that hostage to fortune. All just my opinion, of course.

Possibly because she, and Reform, just well, are.

Yes!! I’ve written about this. It was a rookie edit move and they should have been fired immediately, which would have spiked Trump/Farage’s guns. However, having watched Trump’s entire speech at the time, the Panorama piece left exactly the same tone of intent.

Spot on, Otto. Although, if they had just quickly fired the guys who made that rookie editing move, it would have spiked the Trump-Farage guns. Mind you, although it was crass, it captured the feel of Trump on that day, as I watched it. World’s gone mad.

And as for the accusations of anti-semitism - ridiculous. They have merely been reporting the outrageous and cruel excesses of an opportunistic Netanyahu administration. As one with Jewish antecedents, it gives me no pleasure to have to say that.

Yes it is. the overreaching reason, that is…….However, those whom he presumed to oversee, fucked up royally with the hashed-up of which high-school meejah students would have been ashamed.

Maybe nothing like as bad as that, but it may still be the ill-advised at best, downright dodgy at worst, business ‘deals’ and abuse of influence that finally make him and Ms F invisible.

Absolutely, although there should also be the right kind of ethos within the Royal Household, which is, how shall we say, sometimes subjugated to the desire to keep things quiet…. And the lady presents as a silly old bat……

Very true. But there seems to be no intention even to investigate. The inappropriate reverence of the RF, from so many of the population. A propos nothing, he was uniformly despised by colleagues of mine who worked with him.

Time for major, radical change. That won’t come from Wet Willie & Kate. The Duchy is just too lucrative.
