The Mail Unveils Boris Johnson As Its New Columnist

It was the front page teaser that got the entirety of Britain talking.

Who could the erudite new columnist announce on the cover of Daily Mail perhaps be?

Of course, many guessed right and now they’re happy to confirm his identity, the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, famed as one of the funniest and most original writers in the industry.

Boris’s full-page column will appear in the Daily Mail every Saturday along with fellow star names Amanda Platell and Andrew Neil, and you’ll be able to get a sneak preview on MailOnline and The M+ on Friday evenings.

Whether you’re a Boris Johnson fan or not, it’s going to be required reading, both in Westminster and for millions across the globe.

Watch out for his brilliant debut landing at about 5 pm today. It’s absolutely unmissable and full of surprises because everything that Boris Johnson says is unbelievable.

I’m not particularly a fan of Boris Johnson but at least he’s making a living, although I’m sure his affinity to the newspaper industry benefited him a lot!

Of course, there would have been a lot of people who would have wanted to see him down the job centre, but that wasn’t going to happen, not even in our wildest dreams, and as long as he doesn’t misuse his position by passing on knowledge, that’s fine by me, as long he keeps being entertaining and jocular – we wouldn’t want him to lose his sense of humour now, would we?

The problem is, in Boris Johnson’s world nobody’s entitled to have opinions about him, but he can say what he likes about everyone else, and it looks like failure gets rewarded, and he’s now in the best possible position to mock and call out this government over its catastrophic policies and practices. Rishi Sunak must be feeling extremely nervous right now.

Let the fun begin because it’s never boring when Boris Johnson is about, and I for one can’t wait, and I believe that Boris Johnson will destroy Rishi Sunak and the Tory party out of spite for how they hung him out to dry, and I can’t wait for the fireworks to begin because he will be far more interesting than Prime Minister’s questions.

However, in the current world that we live in, this information didn’t make me flinch much, and Boris Johnson is an ex-MP who isn’t scared to tell it the way that it is.

Rishi Sunak and his parliamentary chums are done come election day and Boris Johnson can’t wait – it’s time to get your hard hat on Rishi.

Perhaps they can have Donald Trump as a guest writer as well?

Boris Johnson isn’t a bad journalist and writer, and of course, the global elite won’t let him back into politics, but then the pen is mightier than the sword as they say. Sword-wielding Boris, now that I could imagine, and I bet Rishi Sunak will be his most avid reader!

I shall definitely be looking forward to reading his opinions and enjoying his eloquent intellectual parched humour, and I expect dozens of scandals to be completely disclosed over the next few months.

Has The Woman Who Discovered Richard III Under A Car Park In Northampton Found ANOTHER King?

Finding one dead king under a car park may be deemed a fluke. Discovering two could be seen as a very peculiar habit.

Yet this may prove to be the case for historian Philippa Langley.

Through a combination of careful research and what she calls a strange sensation, in 2012 Philippa Langely famously identified the very location in a Leicester car park beneath which lay the skeleton of the 15th-century king Richard III.

Using the same critical combination of research and analysis that drew her to the final resting place of the last Plantagenet king, she’s convinced that Henry’s earthly remains lie under the grey tarmac of, what for it, a Ministry of Justice-owned car park at Reading Prison.

Somewhat fittingly, she believes he’s buried under a parking spot marked on a survey with the letter ‘K’.

It’s one reason the 60-year-old, whose dedication to finding Richard III’s grave earned her an MBE and led to her actions being portrayed in the 2022 film, The Lost King has formed the ‘Hidden Abbey’ project to help raise funds for the estimated £55,000 cost of a local dig at the site of the prison, which was closed in 2013 and is now awaiting redevelopment.

She told a newspaper outlet that there were powerful arguments for the location of the king’s grave and that it was, therefore, her contention that not only do they have another king in a car park in Reading, but that ‘K’ was for king.

It’s a bold assertion, but as we have seen, Philippa has impressive form, and after becoming intrigued with Richard III in the late 1990s, she spent years endeavouring to pinpoint his actual burial site and became convinced that the location lay within a council-owned car park in Leicester.

Initially unlikely as that seemed, the car park stood on the spot once occupied by the church of the Greyfriars, a 13th-century monastic friary, where Richard was buried following his death at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

Philippa’s conviction was strengthened when she visited the site in 2004, and when, standing over an area marked R, for Reserved Parking she found herself shaking and came out in goosebumps.

The documentary filming the discovery actually didn’t give Philippa Langley enough recognition, but I would guess that numerous others hopped in on her glory, but still, it’s remarkable how it was all pieced together by many, including Philippa Langley.

However, what should have happened after the find is that King Richard III should have been given a state funeral because, after all, he was still a king, and it makes you wonder how much of our history has been lost by the destruction on monasteries, archaic records, rolls and literature because it could tell us so much more about those times and before.

And it’s so invigorating to see and read about a smart, intelligent and well-educated woman such as Philippa Langley instead of the superabundance of rubbish that occupies most papers and news stories not worth reading about, and it was her obsession that got the dig underway in the first place, and at least there’s one person out there trying to preserve our history and culture.

Sir Keir Starmer’s Policy Platform Shows Cracks

With all eyes on Boris Johnson and the writhing convulsions within the Tory party, the huge cracks opening up in Labour’s policy platform are going virtually unnoticed.

Last week the main plank of its energy strategy collapsed, as Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves ditched the party’s promise to plough 28 billion a year into green projects.

She finally realised what every dog on the street already knew, that it would be ruinously expensive and the amount of borrowing involved could have caused a market meltdown.

So while it stays an aspiration which may or may not be achieved in the later part of a Labour-led parliament, it’s no longer a commitment.

Ms Reeves has done the right thing of course, but this U-turn leaves the party’s environmental policies even more embroiled in confusion than before.

They oppose expanding our own North Sea drilling, yet accept we’re going to need oil and gas for numerous years to come, leaving us at the mercy of despots like Vladimir Putin for our supplies.

Renewable may ultimately bridge the energy gap, but not in the foreseeable future. So, what is Labour’s plan to keep the lights on?

If it was left to the eco zealots of Just Stop Oil, the lights would be off already, not to mention the gas cookers and central heating.

Sir Keir Starmer claims to fight their misguided campaign to bring arterial roads and city centres to a halt.

So why did he whip his MPs yesterday to oppose new legislation to curtail these dangerous and often perilous protests? Could it have anything to do with the £1.5 million donated to the party by Just Stop Oil’s most well-known backer Dale Vince?

And it’s not just energy policy where Labour is at sixes and sevens. With the warm weather and calm seas, some 600 migrants crossed the Channel illegally yesterday, virtually all young men.

Sir Keir Starmer says he wants to end the influx of small boats, yet his party fiercely opposes any Tory plan to tackle the problem.

The Illegal Migration Bill, designed to detain and swiftly oust those who arrive unlawfully on our shores, is presently being held up in the Lords, largely by Labour peers.

Meanwhile, it remains a mystery where Sir Keir Starmer stands on the complex matter of whether a man can become a woman simply by saying that he is one.

Sir Keir Starmer is mainly seen in a red tie, does this mean he belongs to a satanic cult? Let’s face it, he’s largely bereft of humour, whereas Boris Johnson was a hilarious joker, whether it was on purpose or not.

These are oddballs that have absolutely no policies that support the majority and working people.

They don’t want to stop illegals from coming into our country. They don’t want to stop eco-warriors. They want to suppress free speech and our freedom of movement, along with stealth taxes through emission charges amongst other things. We must not deflect what the Conservatives have done in the last 13 years, although I certainly don’t think that Labour would do any better.

The Tories have done a terrible job, but we can’t blind ourselves to what a Labour government would be like, but look we have a country of millions, yet we end up with 650 ninnyhammers in the House of Commons, and it’s much easier to play the opposition than to be the one to lead.

There Is A Feeling Among Shoppers That Supermarket Giants Are Taking Advantage Of Them

Two in three shoppers feel ripped off because supermarket colossi are charging much higher prices in their small convenience stores.

The figures come from Which? amid new research demonstrating that trust in supermarkets has fallen to a nine-year low.

The supermarkets typically charge more for the same product sold through their smaller convenience stores, such as Tesco Express and Sainsbury’s Local, than in larger outlets.

At the same time, their small stores have fewer of the cheapest budget lines, which makes life difficult for those who don’t have a car or can’t travel to large stores.

Rishi Sunak has asked the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) to investigate whether there’s any proof of profiteering or greedflation on groceries.

Separately, the CMA has already signalled concerns that the big supermarkets have raised profit margins on diesel, which has put up prices across the economy.

A Which? survey discovered that 67 per cent of people believe supermarkets are charging rip-off prices in their convenience stores.

Three-quarters (75 per cent) also said they find the cost of convenience store foods too costly compared to bigger supermarkets and almost half (45 per cent) struggle to find affordable food in convenience stores.

Which? said that worryingly, half (51 per cent) of those who rely on convenience stores at least once a week were struggling financially with the cost of living crisis, compared to a third (35 per cent) of consumers overall. The survey found that 57 per cent said that having more budget ranges in the convenience outlets would help.

The consumer champion is calling on supermarkets to improve the availability of essential budget options in their convenience stores.

Separate research in the Which? monthly consumer insight tracker discovered that trust in the groceries industry fell in May to the lowest it’s been since November 2014.

The confidence score measures just +36 – on a scale of – 100 to +100 – which means a drop of 32 points since it peaked at +68 in May 2020.

The Which? director of policy and advocacy, Rocio Concha, said that the trust in the grocery industry had fallen to a nine-year low, with many consumers telling them they felt ripped off by high convenience store prices, and that people shouldn’t have to pay over the odds for everyday essentials just because they struggle to get to a large supermarket.

Rishi Sunak clearly doesn’t shop in the same supermarkets as we do, otherwise, he would have discovered that supermarkets have raised their prices, and in some cases as much as double.

In some Tesco Express, it’s £3.60 for a jar of beetroot.

This significantly impacts pensioners who don’t drive. Although many people buy online once a month, but use Tesco Express for necessities like milk, bread et cetera. Also, many of the special offers are aimed at families, so if you’re a pensioner or single you end up having to pay more money to shop.

Small convenience stores like Tesco Express basket spend per square foot which exceeds that of the supermarkets. They’re gold mines, hence why they’re closing supermarkets and opening more mini-stores.

Co-op is another mini supermarket that has been increasing their prices on anything and everything lately and they have become eye-wateringly expensive.

However, wherever you go it’s costly. We are being ripped off in the larger stores and extorted in the smaller ones, and they’re profiteering at the expense of the public.

Nevertheless, it is a convenience store and if you want something quick, then it’s convenient and you don’t mind spending a little extra, but you also don’t want to be ripped off.

A Thumbs Up From Boris Johnson During His Morning Jog

Cabinet minister Grant Shapps insisted the world has moved on from Boris Johnson following the former prime minister’s surprising resignation as an MP.

The Energy Secretary tried to prevent damage to the Government from the departure of three Conservative MPs, including Boris Johnson, from Parliament in recent days.

Grant Shapps praised the ex-Tory leader’s many qualities but stressed there were now different challenges to face and there was new management in No 10 under Rishi Sunak.

He also took a swipe at Boris Johnson for having removed himself from politics by leaving the House of Commons and also claimed the ex-PM was sometimes not entirely across the details of matters.

Yet Grant Shapps refused to rule out a political comeback for Boris Johnson who was pictured giving a thumbs up as he went for a morning jog with his dog Dilyn, admitting he would never predict the ex-PM’s actions.

Supporters of Boris Johnson have been predicting a quick return for the ex-premier, including before the next general election, despite his tumultuous exit from the Commons.

But ex-Tory deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine has demanded Boris Johnson be barred from ever standing for election as a Conservative MP again.

Boris Johnson resigned from Parliament over Partygate and a row over his peerages list.

He delivered brutal aggression on a kangaroo court of MPs investigating his denials of COVID rule-breaking and also savaged the direction of Rishi Sunak’s Government.

Nadine Dorries and Nigel Adams, who are both staunch supporters of Boris Johnson, have also resigned as MPs in what has been seen as an endeavour to destabilise Rishi Sunak’s administration.

Grant Shapps attempted to palliate the impact of the trio of resignations on Government and repudiated suggestions Boris Johnson had been pushed out of Parliament by the establishment.

The Energy Secretary told Sky News that Boris was somebody with many qualities but they were now in a world where there were different challenges to face and that they have got new management in No 10.

He said that actually in the end Boris was perfectly entitled to remain as an MP, but that he had decided to step down and a couple of other colleagues, all of them whom he’s worked with and Boris in particular, and that he liked working with him as a prime minister, but that the world had moved on, and that he was the one who removed himself from the current political scene, standing down as a member of Parliament.

Whenever I read about Boris Johnson on his morning run, it always makes me think his car’s parked just around the corner, along with his personal bodyguard.

It kind of reminds you of Eddie in ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ who arrives back after a run, claiming to have run miles, but in actual fact, she ran just around the block. Boris must eat and drink a lot of calories to keep that size after such a supposed workout. Perhaps he was on a morning run to Gregg’s because he’s the only guy I know who puts weight on from jogging.

Rishi Sunak wants rid of the right and Sir Keir Starmer wants rid of the left and all we get is a choice between two wealthy deluded comedians, and nobody appears to know what they stand for, and after all this time of Tory anarchy, it’s definitely time for Labour to have a go, but what’s more noteworthy is that we need a party that serves the taxpayer instead of all these self-serving cronies.

A Second Shooter Is Suspected In The Death Of John Lennon

According to a British writer investigating the case, two different guns may have been used in the John Lennon shooting.

Writer and TV producer David Whelan has unearthed official records showing for the first time that two different types of bullets were removed from the music legend’s body following his fatal shooting on December 8, 1980.

David Whelan believes a second shooter could have been involved in the killing of John Lennon and has now discovered dramatic new evidence reinforcing his case.

A newspaper outlet reported in April how David Whelan had already uncovered a trove of fascinating documents relating to the killing which took place as John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono returned to their home in the Dakota Building overlooking New York’s Central Park.

David Whelan’s three-year inquiry into the murder has highlighted a string of extraordinary inconsistencies, including the suggestion that investigators may have fundamentally misinterpreted how the shooting occurred.

The newspaper outlet has exclusively revealed some of David Whelan’s dossier, including convicted gunman Mark Chapman’s hit list, published for the first time, which as well as the former Beatle also featured Marlon Brando and former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis.

Now David Whelan’s investigation has focused on the ammunition retrieved from the scene.

Oddly, only two slugs were ever entered into evidence, according to the documents, despite the fact that Chapman was said to have fired all the rounds in his five-chamber 38 special revolver, four of them hitting John Lennon. The whereabouts of the missing three bullets are unknown.

However, the two bullets which were extracted from John Lennon’s body during the autopsy raise their own intriguing questions, says David Whelan, because they were marked as being of different types.

One is marked on a receipt from the New York morgue, where John Lennon’s body was held, as a ‘1 x 38 cal.SWC’, which stands for ‘Semi wadcutter’ or hollow point bullet, designed to spread out on impact with a target.

The other is recorded as simply ‘1 x 38cal lead bullet’.

But Chapman always insisted he was using hollow point wadcutter bullets and he was acquainted with firearms and ammunition from his security guard days.

He added that different bullet types found in John Lennon’s body was explosive information.

He said that perhaps this was one of the reasons why John Lennon’s autopsy had not been leaked to the world by the authorities, and the wishes of Lennon’s family to keep John’s autopsy private have been respected.

Perhaps the NYPD did do a sloppy investigation, concealed things or got it wrong because of global pressure on them, but we’ll probably never know. What we do know is that Mark David Chapman allegedly killed John Lennon – he confessed to it, right?

Mark Chapman allegedly started plotting on killing John Lennon three months prior to the murder.

Evidently, Mark Chapman was a longtime fan of John Lennon’s band the Beatles, but he turned against John Lennon due to a religious conversion and Lennon’s highly publicised 1966 comment about the Beatles being more popular than Jesus.

Some members of Mark Chapman’s prayer group evidently made a joke in relation to John Lennon’s song ‘Imagine’, and it went, ‘Imagine, imagine if John Lennon was dead’, and Mark Chapman’s childhood friend Miles McManushe recalled that he said the song was communist.

Mark Chapman was impacted by a lot of other things, and also John Lennon’s lifestyle in New York, and according to his wife Gloria, he was angry that Lennon would preach love and peace, yet had millions.

Mark Chapman later said that John Lennon told everyone to imagine no possessions and there he was, with millions of dollars and yachts, farms and country estates, laughing at people like him who had believed the lies and bought the records and built a big part of their lives around his music.

The world has some insane people in it, and whether Mark Chapman worked alone or somebody else was involved, well, we will probably never know because stuff like that is covered up. I mean, what kind of threat would John Lennon be to the US? He was just a pop singer, but also extremely controversial.

John Lennon might have been a mere singer but if we believe that celebrities don’t have any influence… well!

If Convicted Of Federal Charges, Donald Trump Faces 100 YEARS Behind Bars

According to a report, Donald Trump could face 100 years behind bars if he’s convicted of all seven charges related to mishandling of classified information.

The 76-year-old on Thursday said he’d been told he was being indicted in relation to espionage, the first time in US history that a former president has faced federal charges.

Donald Trump is facing four separate counts each carrying a possible jail time of 20 years – conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record. Corruptly concealing a document or record and concealing a document in a federal investigation.

One count carries a 10-year sentence, willful retention of national defence information.

And the final two counts have a maximum of five years each. Scheme to conceal, and false statements and representations.

Donald Trump’s indictment remains under seal, but his decision to publicise it means the feds could unseal it as early as Friday, ahead of next Tuesday’s court appearance in Miami.

The news was met with anger among the Republican party, with even his 2024 rival, Ron DeSantis, saying that the weaponisation of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society. Ron DeSantis stopped short of saying whether he’d pardon his opponent if Donald Trump was convicted, despite calls for the Florida governor to commit to doing so.

Donald Trump himself was in Bedminster, New Jersey when the charging news broke and condemned the indictment in a clip which The New York Times said was pre-recorded, saying it was political persecution, and said that he was innocent.

He will appear in court in Miami on Tuesday at 3 pm, where the charges will be put on him. Donald Trump denies all allegations he faces.

His lawyer, Jim Trusty, told CNN that all seven charges break out from an Espionage Act charge.

Jack Smith, the special counsel who is leading the investigation, has not commented.

Despite the pre-recorded clip, CBS News claimed that Donald Trump wasn’t expecting to be indicted and that he was upset with his inner circle for telling him there was only a low chance of charges over the classified documents incident.

The former president is said to have complained that there was too much happy talk for too long from those closest to him over the possibility of criminal action.

He was indicted in Manhattan in April on state charges of making hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, those state charges, too, were historic.

Donald Trump shouldn’t be in any political office, whether he’s guilty or not, and he definitely shouldn’t be making any decisions for the American people.

However, it appears that the US has gone around the bend again, and Donald Trump attempted to turn the US into a dictatorship – he should be charged with treason instead, but the problem is some people still believe he’s the best thing since sliced bread.

No one is above the law and Donald Trump will have his day in court, but also, everyone should be treated equally and fairly.

Trump fanatics will never understand that they got used and voting for him wasn’t in their best interest, but he gave them all false assurances, promises they wanted to hear and they believed him.

Donald Trump evidently believes he’s untouchable – he’s not very bright, is he? But that’s been evident for a long time because as soon as the orange tango man speaks, his absence of intellect is so apparent.

What is the administration fearful of? Because never in history have the establishment gone after one person so hard – perhaps they’re petrified of what tango man might reveal.

Inflation To Be Halved By Rishi Sunak

A new survey suggests that Tory hopes of maintaining power at the next election rest on Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt’s hopes of halving inflation and cutting mortgage costs before voters go to the polls.

According to figures assembled for Mail Online, the state of the stumbling economy is far and away the most important issue for voters ahead of an election expected next year.

More than a third (35 per cent) surveyed by Redfield & Wilton Strategies said it was the issue that would most determine how they would cast their vote in the next election.

Tellingly, it was the most important issue across all age groups, with the highest figures among pensioners, a group containing a large number of Tory voters.

It comes as mortgage lenders pull financial products from the shelves ahead of an unexpected further boost in interest rates from the Bank of England, designed to tackle inflation rates remaining stubbornly high.

In April CPI fell to 8.9 per cent from 10.1 per cent the month before, dropping out of double figures for the first time in eight months, but again the drop wasn’t as big as expected, with analysts having pencilled in a number closer to 8 per cent.

Rishi Sunak has pledged to half the rate of inflation by the end of the year as millions struggle with the cost of living crisis, high-interest rates and the soaring cost of food.

He and Mr Hunt are refusing to bow to backbench demands for tax cuts, in case it impacts inflation.

According to a survey carried out for the website by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, the next most serious issues on voters’ minds were education and healthcare.

While Rishi Sunak has made immigration another key focal point of Tory hopes for re-election, it’s just the fourth most pressing issue for voters, with just 9 per cent flagging it as a particular concern.

Britain’s largest building society is hiking some fixed mortgage rates for new borrowing from Friday, while another major lender has temporarily pulled some products.

Nationwide Building Society said it needed to increase fixed rates to ensure they remain sustainable, while HSBC UK said it had temporarily removed some products so it can stay within operational capacity.

Nationwide is increasing selected fixed-rate deals for new borrowing as well as reducing some rates on trackers. The revised rates for new mortgage business will be effective from Friday.

However, I doubt it will sway many people because there have been too many broken promises and incompetent ministers already, and we don’t want more of the same.

I’m not saying that you should change sides and vote Labour or Lib Dem – vote for who you want.

Some are even saying that we should vote for total parliamentary reform, but what difference would it make? They’re all endowed with money and status, that’s even before they get to become MPs, but after that, they become pompous arrogant twats!

Rishi Sunak can promise what he likes but isn’t that a bit like a sinking Titanic and the captain promising to halve the speed at which it’s sinking?

The only thing Rishi Sunak and the rest of the Tories are interested in is looking after the well-being of the Tory party and their donors, and they’ve been in power a long time now, and if they’ve not got it right by now, well then, they’re never going to get it right.

And the Conservatives won’t win a general election, the best they can hope for is a hung parliament. Halving inflation isn’t the same as halving prices which won’t be returning back anytime soon.

After Being Caught Red-Handed On A Ring Doorbell, A Rogue Trader Is Jailed

A rogue trader who attempted to con money from a helpless pensioner was found out thanks to the victim’s Ring doorbell camera.

Tommy Taylor, 31, targeted the 74-year-old resident by demanding money for roofing work that had never been carried out.

The victim’s son had installed a video doorbell on his father’s home in Fernhill Heath, near Worcester, after concerns he was being targeted by fraudsters.

Mr Taylor was then filmed continually banging on the pensioner’s front door and living room window on November 12, 2022, and was heard soliciting payment for the non-existent work, saying that he was from the thingy and that he hadn’t been paid, and that the elderly man had probably given it to someone else.

The conman was jailed for 26 weeks after doorbell footage was shared with the police and will pay a £150 victim surcharge.

The video shows the victim opening the door and Taylor was heard demanding payment for the non-existent work.

The victim tells him that he’s paid him.

Taylor responds, and that he hasn’t and that he’s the manager from the thingy, and that he’s not been paid.

He then says that the man probably gave the money to someone else and that he was the manager and then points to the logo on his fleece.

The pensioner then says he’s going to call the police and Taylor flees, telling the man that he will send the thingy then – it’s not clear what the thingy refers to.

The pensioner’s son then sent the video to West Mercia Police who arrested Taylor at his home in Sandy Lane, Stourport, Worcestershire.

Taylor denied being involved and claimed he’d been sent to the address by other people who’d completed the work.

Taylor was found culpable of deception by making fraudulent representations, behaving dishonestly, and intending to make a gain for himself or another.

He was jailed for 26 weeks and summoned to pay a £150 victim surcharge following the trial at Worcester Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

Police are now urging people to install similar systems to safeguard their own homes and those of their families, especially if they’re elderly.

Detective Constable Simon Lloyd said that he was pleased to see this verdict and hope this offers some closure and reassurance to the victim and his family.

He said that the criminal targeting of vulnerable persons in West Mercia would not be tolerated and they would investigate every avenue to bring those defenders to justice.

This should have come with a much longer prison time, and the pensioner should have been paid handsome compensation by this criminal who won’t be in jail long enough to dirty the sheets. This man is absolute pondlife, and hopefully, when this man is an OAP, someone will try to con him out of his life savings.

And what kind of deterrent is this sentence?

It’s also equally foolish to be caught on camera and then denying involvement, and wow, 26 weeks jail time, I bet that’s taught him, what a great justice system we have!

Perhaps the Government should reintroduce National Service. It would give the youths of today discipline and some sort of qualification at the end of it.

At least Taylor had the decency to stand in front of the doorbell camera, making sure all the evidence was captured – the only thing missing was a proper sentence, but let’s face it, he really wasn’t the sharpest knife in the toolbox, was he?

The High Court Hears Evidence From Prince Harry

Prince Harry began giving evidence at the High Court for his phone hacking trial against the publisher of the Daily Mirror, becoming the first royal to testify in open court since 1891.

Harry was sporting a navy suit and dark purple tie as he entered the witness box and swore an oath to tell the truth on the Bible beneath his father the Sovereign’s coat of arms.

The Duke of Sussex jetted into the United Kingdom from California on Monday and looked relaxed and even smiled as he entered the High Court’s modern annexe, the Rolls Building, saying good morning to the waiting press.

However, he was criticised by one of Britain’s leading judges and accused of wasting court time after missing the first day of his historic case, to celebrate his daughter Lilibet’s birthday in Montecito before flying to Britain.

Harry and three others are suing the Mirror group, claiming the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and The People newspaper hacked their phones or conducted other illegal activity, which has been denied.

In 1891 Edward VII gave evidence when a slander action was brought by a card player accused of cheating at baccarat at a time when gambling was prohibited. His appearance in the witness box left Queen Victoria unamused, but it’s also not known what Harry’s father, King Charles III, feels about his son’s historic court appearance.

The Duke of Sussex will be in the High Court witness box for two days this week, twice as long as he spent when he came for the King’s Coronation, and it’s not clear if he will see his father or brother this week, or meet his cousin Princess Eugenie’s new son Ernest, who was born last Tuesday.

He made a flying visit for the momentous day his father King Charles was crowned, spending about 28 hours in Britain before flying back to California. However, the duke appears to have more time to devote to his legal crusade against the Mirror newspaper’s publisher.

He was expected to spend a full day in the witness box at the High Court and at least half the following day.

In fact, he could have begun giving his evidence, but he didn’t fly to the United Kingdom until Sunday night so that he could help celebrate his two-year-old daughter’s birthday.

An exasperated judge rebuked the duke’s barrister when it became clear the royal witness was unattainable for the opening day of his own case suing the publisher of the Mirror newspaper.

Does this mean that Harry believes the world rotates around him? Well, it actually doesn’t matter because the judge certainly wasn’t impressed.

Harry is so concerned about the environment, yet he flies back and forth over the Atlantic whilst preaching to the rest of us, and it looks like the ego has landed, so let’s sit back and grab some popcorn.

And he’s not a royal anymore. He decided to give that up. Now he’s just a bloke in court like numerous others.
