I read that one of the key concessions that the ultra-swivel-eyed-loons extracted from the not-quite-so-ultra-sels is the removal of metal detectors at the entrance to the House so they can get in carrying their beloved guns.
Hands up all those that think that's going to end well next time they think a vote has been 'stolen'.
There was almost a bout of fisticuffs after the last vote last night. Some congressman went over to clean Matt Gaetz' clock & was held back by one or two others.

Yay, lets all gang up on the unfortunate bloke, it's all he deserves. Cyber bullying, it's all the rage.
He is exploiting his position by very publicly digging the hole of his own victimhood. His behaviour is reinforced by his wife who has done much the same to her own family. He is making himself a laughing stock.

Sport England has paid "out £1.5bn of taxpayers' money without knowing where two-thirds of it went.
MPs have found in the wake of efforts to tackle a drop in sporting participation after the London Olympics the destination of more than £1bn in grants remains unknown.

I find the media obsession with taking someone down pretty frightening.
Look at the Express website, there must be more than 20 separate and very similar articles for the ghouls to feed on. It's two faced because this time next week they will be berating 'the modern world in general ' for not being kinder to the next celebrity that tops themselves.
Yes, they've not exactly avoided attention. So what? They're a bit mental and a bit silly. Take their documentaries and exposés for what they are (a bit crap, pretty misguided) and move on.

The reason for all the publicity about Harry is Harry, despite what he says this is only happening because he wants it to.
The reaction is disproportionate, unnecessary, gleeful, unkind. It's allowed the proper wangers to drag out again all sorts of rumour, conjecture and bollocks which will sit there quite happily alongside fact and his first-person opinion.

I agree but your description works for both sides, they are as bad as each other.
Rishi getting a hard time because he may be registered with a private GP - bit unfair considering a large number of us likely have and use private healthcare that our employers provide as a perk. Surely bigger things to worry about in this world?????

Plain and simple bullying. The bullied are often said to "deserve it". If he pursues it, because he truly believes it, then the outrage and countering will continue until he's either destroyed or decides to shut up. He's not preaching hatred, persuading people to join his cult, impacting their safety - he's just a rich boy having a moan, no better than the legions of conspiracy theorists inflicting us with their feeble opinions.

Disproportionate my ass, he's actively bringing on himself with his book "Spare" which I suspect will soon be followed by his wife's (auto)biography!

And others it could be argued with his irresponsible comments about his time in combat.
The report I heard said that the deal they've (Harry and Meghan) done / advance they have is for four books- the next scheduled one to be released is apparently one from Meghan on "Wellness"
Will they though? Pretty sure most ex soldiers who write about soldiering will be giving you enough detail to make it pretty clear they've shot people dead. Unless the book is about how terrible a shot they are.
But yeah, it's another excuse to hang him out to dry innit
