What Telegraph calls bullying accurately captures British media misogynistic and xenophobic coverage of Harry and Meghan over the last 10.years. Must admit this kind of media gaslighting erodes trust in journalists.

There would be such a positive domino effect if we abolished the parasitic monarchy. They can keep one house each and we should expropriate the rest. The UK’s inherent inequalities flow down from the Windsor crime family.

Harry and Meghan Return to Nottingham for Their First Joint UK Engagement Since Moving Back
Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex have arrived in Nottingham for their first joint public engagement since returning to live in the UK. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were greeted by cheering crowds outside the Community Recording Studio on Thursday morning, where schoolchildren and members of the public had gathered behind barriers waiting for them. Embed from Getty Images Harry and Meghan took their time meeting people outside the venue, shaking hands, posing for selfies and accepting the warm welcome. One woman waiting for them had a particularly direct message: “Don’t believe that you’re not liked because you are.”

John Boyega Confirms His Marriage to Tae Heckard And Reveals Their Baby Boy Is Already Here
John Boyega has finally confirmed what internet detectives had already worked out: he married quietly nearly two years ago. But he had another surprise to share, he is already a father. Earlier this month, Boyega told The Guardian that he had been married for “coming up to two years” and that he and his wife were expecting a baby boy. The revelation sparked a fresh round of headlines, although Boyega stopped short of naming his wife during the interview. In September, we reported that Boyega and actress Tae Heckard appeared to have quietly confirmed their marriage after months of clues: wedding bands, increasingly couple-y photographs, their habit of following only one another on Instagram and John referring to Tae as “lover” while discussing her pounded yam and egusi.

This is a great example of how news stories are written to amp up the drama. “Documents seen by the Telegraph…” imply there was some heavy investigation require. The documents in questions are free downloads from a website. They are also documents I have just seen.
Documents seen by the Telegraph single out politicians on the Right, including Suella Braverman, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and
Boris Johnson.
