Prince Harry has had to publicly denounce the press coverage of his relationship with Meghan Markle

Why do I get the feeling this was prompted by The Sun's front page headline last Friday, namely...

There were far dodgier stories than that, unfortunately.
She's on Pornhub in the same way that a lot of actresses are, so I doubt anyone gives a crap about it.
Attempts to bribe her ex's to talk crap about her, getting her sister to do the same and some dubious stuff about her being mixed race? Much worse.
 
He did, but i think they made him take it back again after his replacement quit after about 5 minutes <laugh>

He's the **** that won't flush. Luckily for all of us UKIP are becoming less and less relevent everyday. Unfortunately for us that's in part thanks to our PM trying to turn her party into UKIP-lite.

Edit: Oh and for what it's worth, Farage is only temporarily in charge, they'll have a new leader as soon as they can find a venue to hold their next leadership bare knuckle boxing match.

It's 10.30pm on election night and I am heading to bed listening to general news commentary suggesting that a racist nutjob may not be successful, then remember what we woke up to on June 23rd.........

I bloody hope I'm wrong (even if it takes 'black ops' to achieve it) - but I have a horrible feeling that sufficient of the American electorate have bought into the Dumpf and we might be faced with a nightmare scenario tomorrow!
God help us!
 
I called it last week, unbelievable eh. Still it could be worse we could be residents of Vilnius, Talinn & Riga just imagine what they must be feeling; a potential US president who's up heavily in debt with his Russian creditors. Hunker down for the next 4/8 years.
 
Un-****ing-believable!..

How can anybody in their right mind think that that charlatan braggart and bully is fit to be president of anything? Let alone the USA?!....
 
You said mate- people end up getting the governments they deserve.............a fr###ing reality game show host? I didn't realise that Opium was legalised in the States.

They obviously don't need it! . First Dubya, now this!...

Who's next? Mickey ****ing Mouse?...

I know I want to say something about what happened overnight, but I'm lost for words. Saying things like "this could be really bad" seem like a complete understatement.

Yet again the so called 'experts' get it wrong. Hopefully the vote will be allowed to stand and not blocked like the remoaners are trying to block the brexit vote

In fairness, I doubt the "experts" had sufficient data to predict that result.
Contrast with the referendum result, where the 2015 general election data etc
showed to anyone with a brain cell that a Leave result was very possible and
the Labour core demographic would be the decider.

It will take some time, but with my scientist/engineer hats on I cannot wait to see
the voting data for the USA election + the likely post-election post-mortem polls
that will be done.
