That would have got the progressive conspiracy theorists worked up a right storm.

I think they are either exaggerating to enhance their victim status or need new staff, at least this driver seems to have been sober.

Something smells a little fishy with this 'car chase' story. Two hours? Hollywood would struggle to put a two hours car chase together, and in New York with all the traffic? Was it the police's day off? They not have mobile phones? Nowhere to pull over safely?

And coincidence that he's asking for Met Police guards when in the UK?

Meh. I ain't saying nothing happened, but in the parlance of my school: 'Chinny reckons'.

They've just been to an awards ceremony where everyone has seen them, so they've nothing to hide at all. So if the chase is so dangerous, then why not just stop and say hey, take some more photos, the ones you'll already have of us as you've just seen us at the awards?

If it's so dangerous, then why let the chase happen? It's not as if they're in danger from a vicious gang.

I suppose it's all fake-news, bants and open-season until someone is killed or commits suicide.

Folk go on about bullying an awful lot, but it's just hot air.

It's been faked, to enlarge his argument of having the Met protect him when he's outside of a London kebab shop.

Unusual place to stash a stolen car, maybe the wing made it take off.

My bullshit detector just got jammed off the high end of the scale so I can't tell you exactly how much I don't believe it. But, I don't believe it.

Speaking of bullshit, here's Piers Morgan. Now I can't believe I really need to say this but I actually don't like him for a number of historical reasons so I post this video not for his opinion but for the word of mouth from those he was able to acquire for his show. Having got that off my chest, here''s the taxi driver:



So "something" happened. Sounds like nothing unusual and the "blocked" road was a dump truck making a turn.

As for Meghan Markle, I'd put her right up there with Amber Turd for believability.

What? Put him in a big soft barge of a car with a pissed up Frenchman who thinks he's Alain Prost driving it?

Harry has been watching too many 80s TV shows.

He probably thinks Pontiacs can talk.....

Apparently the event they were at described her as "One of the most powerful and influential women in the world."

Get a grip, she's a B-lister who married a slightly naive and damaged ex soldier who just happens to be the son of a top royal. She's like a 2020's Fergie.

How many other women are being talked about on here today?

'Influence' is like 'luck', it can go two ways.

People on the radio are talking about Suella Deville and Ann Widdicome.

Being talked about isn't always a good thing.

At the time of his arrest, he was presenting as Amy George but confirmed he wished to be addressed as Andrew Miller using "he" pronouns for simplicity.

I heard that Widdicome has been blasted over a cheese sandwich. To be fair it does paint the picture that Britain has become wholly middle class by considering cheese as a staple in the lada.
