Meghan and Harry

Anybody who takes up the cudgels to take on the British press, which is on the whole (reading this over many years on not 606) lacks ethics, is amoral if not immoral - has my unwavering support regardless of my preconceived ideas of that person.
This needs to be done and is long overdue imo.

 

Fair enough. But this case is about people breaking the law to access information for use not permitted. If it happened to me I would want them punsihed too, even if the info they got was minor.

He and Meghan can be unpopular. I have no axe to grind or care either way. They make their life choices and they will be happy or they wont. Because he is unpopular with some shouldnt mean he cant bring law suits and have a fair hearing if he thinks he has been the potential victim of a crime.

 

I don't have time for anyone who insults their family publicly ...

... he wasn't being too kind to the Queen tbh.

 

I agree with you and there needs to be checks and controls ...

... but people who use the media for their own benefit can be hypocritical.

Keep out of the kitchen if you don't like seeing the washing up.

 

He seems to be very hung up on one ex-girlfriend in particular. Good job Meghan's not the jealous ty.......ah.

Frying pan for him when he gets home. If they let him back in the country of course.

 

He seems to be getting pulled to bits on all these stories he claimed were gained illegally being available through legal means i.e. press briefings from his aides.

 

The case is as l see it, the complaint concerns times when he & his big brother were not big enough to see or do the washing up.
And the fact that actors, singers, various media or sports folk(l could go on ad nausium) seek public attention/approval should not mean that others can ILLEGALLY breach their privacy and then publicise it if it was as a result of privacy invasion.
Regardless of how we view the complainant surely.

 

It is the hypocrisy of going on Oprah Winfrey, selling books and promoting them in the media, and setting up websites to promote themselves. Either you want nothing to do with the "media" and keep well away, or you use it to your advantage financial and otherwise. You can't have it both ways, which is what he seems to want.

 

Plus the hypocrisy of complaining about lack of privacy when you've given every little detail about your father's and brother's private lives and sold it to the highest bidder

 

Good luck to him. I hope wipes the floor with the liked of Pierrs Morgan

 

It’s incredible how this is lost in some people!

 

He is complaining about being the victim of a crime. Surely he is entitled to do that? Or is it ok to hack some peoples phones and not others? Is he not allowed to defend himself if he feels he is the victim of a crime.

I am no sympathiser but if we are going to exclude him from pursuing what he feels is illegal behaviour against him then it is a sorry state of affairs. To compare to the book is like comparing apples and oranges in my opinion. Unless he illegally hacked his families phones and published what he found in the book.

 

If he thought he was hacked illegally, why wait till now to take it to court? IMO, I reckon its another way to get cash

 

The mirror have already admitted one count against him and some others. So he is already proven right to an extent. They have said he deserves compensation for that.

He is one of a 100 or so people involved in this case. He was selected as a test case, so is up early.

Why wait so long? Maybe down to all the criminal trials we have seen, all the inquiries we have had into our press and their behaviour. Maybe having seen all of this, he and the 100 others feel newspapers have got away with it so they are bringing their own case. None of us probably know, but I stand by the point he is entitled, like others are, to pursue a legal case if he feels it necessary, irrespective of popularity.

 

This, this & THIS again

 

And l am basically a Republican at heart.

 

I agree with all of that.

Privacy is important.

 

As proven today though, he's on a sticky wicket with the vast majority of the incidents.

It seems like he's been very poorly advised. Maybe nobody dared prod him the way this lawyer did.
