Prince Harry Deeply Saddened

The Duke of Sussex was reportedly denied permission for a garland to be laid at the Cenotaph on his behalf, in the latest sign of a family rift.

Prince Harry, who spent ten years in the armed forces, made a personal request to Buckingham Palace but was refused due to the fact he’d left royal duties in March.

The Queen was not thought to have been notified of the request or its refusal, which is said to have profoundly saddened the Duke of Sussex.

Prince Harry highlighted the importance of Remembrance Sunday during an appearance on a military podcast to mark the event.

On the interview with the Declassified podcast, he described the day as a moment for respect and hope and the ex-royal said that it was the act of remembering, of remembrance which was a profound act of honour.

He said that was how we preserve the legacies of whole generations and offer our appreciation for the sacrifices they made for us to be able to live the lives we live today.

In previous years, the Duke has celebrated the day with visits to the Cenotaph and Westminster Abbey’s Field of Remembrance, and he first attended the Cenotaph in 2009, aged 25.

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, was also not expected to attend the ceremony and Buckingham Palace refused to comment on whether Prince Harry’s request had been denied and Prince Harry’s spokespeople had been contacted for comment.

During the podcast, Harry even spoke about his experiences and said he treasured his association with veterans, describing coming together as like meeting an old friend.

He added that he will wear a poppy to remember all those who had served – the soldiers he knew, as well as those he didn’t – the soldiers that were at his side in Afghanistan, those who had their lives changed permanently, and those that didn’t come home.

And he said that he wears the poppy to commemorate the courage and determination of all our veterans, and their loved ones, particularly those in our Invictus family and he said that these were the people and the moments he recalls when he salutes and when he stands to attention and when he lays a wreath at the Cenotaph.

Harry started the Invictus Games in 2014 for injured, wounded and sick armed service personnel and veterans from around the world to compete in a range of sports.

Services for Remembrance Sunday this year are significantly impacted due to the pandemic, with a full lockdown in England and other constraints in place across the United Kingdom, with the UK Government urging councils to ensure remembrance services are brief, completely alfresco and held in front of limited numbers.

We understand that Harry left the United Kingdom, but he still served as a soldier and he served for a long time. He saw lots of his friends that he served with wounded, some of them died.

Just because he left the United Kingdom doesn’t make him some kind of robot, bereft of any feeling for those that died for our country. However, the people that are devoid of any feeling are the Royal Family, and it just shows what reprobates these people are, those boys weren’t even allowed to cry at their mother’s funeral – what are these people, monsters?

The Duke of Sussex, who now lives in the United States with his wife Meghan and their son Archie said that even when we can’t all be together, we always remember together.

This man, this human being, this SOLDIER served his country and he should never be denied!

Strictly’s Maisie Smith Finally Addresses Romance Rumours With Beautiful HRVY

Strictly star and Eastenders actress Maisie Smith has been shrouded by a barrage of love life speculation in the last few weeks and strictly fans very quickly picked up on her chemistry with co-star and main competition HRVY, a flirty social media exchange convincing them that the two would ultimately get together.

And now Maisie Smith has refused to rule it out but said not right now and she told a news outlet that he’s a beautiful looking guy, but that she’d only seen him for a couple of hours a week so she was still enjoying getting to know him.

She said that she didn’t know what would happen in the future, but for now, they were just getting along really well as friends and it’s been said that the BBC are keeping an extra close eye on the series youngsters to make sure there’s no kissing, banned by social distancing rules.

HRVY, meanwhile, wrote in OK! That he’d seen her the least out of everyone because she’d not been in any of his rehearsal spaces, but that Maisie was so lovely and beautiful and that she was a really good friend and that he thought she was an incredible dancer.

And he added that not a lot could happen between them because they have to be two metres apart, but that he was a little excited to see how things blossom.

At the beginning of the series, he said that he loved Maisie, she was a wonderful girl and that she had excellent repartee and he said that when he saw her in her blue dress last week, that she looked amazing and that he couldn’t wait to see her grow and look fantastic every week.

And they haven’t been bashful about a few flirty exchanges on Instagram either and after comparing HRVY to Justin Bieber, Maisie quipped that he’d just reminded her that her spaghetti was nearly done. HRVY came back and said stop flirting, you love spaghetti.

But HRVY’s been told that they both have to follow the rules, which means hanging out on set is a no go and he explained that he’s spoken to Maisie at the studios, but the thing is, legally he’s not even allowed to go near her.

He said for the moment he’s going to concentrate on the dancing, and that all that stuff can come second, but who knows what will happen after the show.

Maisie Smith is stunning and a fantastic actress and dancer, so who knows, she might even be good for HRVY.

Boy, 17, Who Offered To Build Weapons For Neo-Nazis Imprisoned For Terror Crimes

Paul Dunleavy, 17, kept a haul of knives, shotgun cartridges, bullet casings and air rifles in his bedroom, plus face coverings and camouflage face paint and makeshift targets.

The ex-Royal Air Cadet, who can be named for the first time following a court ruling, had researched how to transform a blank firing gun into a live weapon.

On Friday Dunleavy, of Rugby, Warwickshire was jailed for five and a half years at Birmingham Crown Court. He admitted nine counts of collecting terrorism information under section 58 of the Terrorism Act.

Last month a jury also found him guilty of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorism under section 5 of the Terrorism Act.

The court heard how police found a notebook containing swastikas, details of lone-wolf attacks and mock-up logo representing an extreme-right group he wanted to form.

There were also numerous tools, camping gear and makeshift cardboard targets.

Officers said he said his idols were Adolf Hitler and influential neo-Nazi James Mason.

They further discovered more than 90 documents on his mobile phone on firearms, explosives and military tactics, plus online material with extreme right-wing rhetoric as well as online chat discussions.

Police also found phone video clips of the New Zealand attacks in Christchurch mosques in 2019 and the Anders Breivik terror attack in Norway.

Dunleavy had become a member of the online extreme right-wing group Feuerkrieg Division (FKD) in July last year and in a string of online discussions, he voiced radical ideas and indicated he was planning to convert a blank-firing weapon to fire live bullets.

The head of West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit Detective Chief Superintendent Kenny Bell said that the boy had an unhealthy interest in other aggression across the world and he knew precisely what online platforms to join to communicate his radical views and that he thought he had the skills to transform a blank-firing weapon into a possible firearm and was keen to help others with his abilities.

Detective Chief Kenny Bell highlighted the commitment by counter-terrorism policing to tackle all forms of extremist ideology and he added that they’ve seen numerous convictions over the last few years in connection with extreme right-wing terrorism and that this work continues apace and that these extremist groups have the potential to endanger public safety and security.

This should be extremely alarming because this boy was an ex-Royal Air Cadet and it doesn’t seem that they’re screened before enrolling, or do they get radicalised later on? And if this is happening then they need to find out who they are, where they come from and especially how this corruption took place.

The problem is this is the United Kingdom and being a cadet isn’t part of the army – it’s basically an after school club where all children are allowed to join from all different walks of life and there is clearly something wrong if a person goes fanatical over something, no matter their ethnicity or religion.

This lad has clearly taken the wrong steps in life and we as a society have failed him by not playing a positive part in his upbringing and this isn’t the first time someone with military ties has been caught like this and there should be serious concerns that right-wing elements are inside a military organisation.

These kids either have some form of mental health problem or they’re being brainwashed, and if they’re being brainwashed, then we need to get to the bottom of who is doing the brainwashing.

Joe Biden Faces Rocky Transition

Joe Biden won the race for the White House on Saturday but compared with what lays ahead, that may have been the easy part and in his speech to the nation, the president-elect said he would unveil a group of scientists and professionals on Monday to enable him to formulate a strategy to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout.

Joe Biden said that their work starts with getting COVID under control, adding that Americans can’t restore the economy or relish life’s most precious moments without doing so.

Joe Biden’s presidential transition team has already spent months preparing for his first term and accelerated their activities in the hours before his victory becoming official.

The team launched its presidential transition website a day before the election was officially called for Joe Biden.

Now, Joe Biden and the transition team have to build a Government largely remotely, during the pandemic, and while engaging with a Senate that could stay in Republican hands, a House sure to feature fewer Democratic allies than it did previously and a public that includes more than 70 million people who voted for Donald Trump over Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is already said to be planning to sign a string of executive orders soon after being sworn into office on 20 January that would reverse the work of the Trump administration, including rejoining the Paris climate accords and reversing Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organisation (WHO).

With the President refusing to concede on Saturday, it’s not apparent how cooperative the Trump administration will be during the transition process.

The transition process formally begins once the General Service Administration determines the victor based on all available facts. That’s vague enough guidance that Donald Trump could pressure the agency’s director to stall.

It’s also vague whether the President would meet personally with Joe Biden – Barack Obama met with Donald Trump less than a week after the election.

By law, presidential campaigns have to set up a transition team and begin the first steps needed to inherit the totality of the federal government – long time Biden aide Ted Kaufman, a former senator from Delaware, was appointed to run the team back in April.

A senator for decades and vice president for eight years, Joe Biden has a profound knowledge of the workings of government and he’s encircled by a small group of top advisers with equally deep institutional experience.

What Joe Biden has to do now is stamp his own mark, whether it will be good or bad, only time will tell and the fact that it wasn’t an overwhelming win in the ballots indicate that any lingering damage that Donald Trump did will continue with his voters.

David Marchick, director of the Centre for Presidential Transition at the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service said that the Biden team was the most experienced, most prepared, most focused transition team ever.

However, Joe Biden will encounter numerous challenges after his inauguration on January 20 2021, but now that the tumour has been cut out, it will take some time to reverse the damage done.

However, while many people are relieved that Joe Biden won, there’s the reality that 70 million Americans believed Donald Trump was doing well which is so heartbreaking, but when people start to see the benefits of the new policies for themselves, hopefully, they will begin to see the imposter that Donald Trump really was.

Donald Trump has never accepted that he’s failed at everything, but he always sued people, although likely lost more than he won. Blamed it on others, endeavoured to repackage his failures with the Trump University as wins et cetera.

Now he’s having to face losing on the world stage and he can’t bear it, although he knew that he might lose, so he was readying the ground to renounce any possible loss for months, but the lawsuits presented so far are lacking proof of what they claim.

However, lawyers will make lots of money out of preparing multiple failed lawsuits and the lawsuits aren’t because there’s any evidence of widespread fraud, they’re about Donald Trump’s ego.

Couple Without Credit History Denied COVID Test

A couple has been denied an at home COVID test because they didn’t have enough credit history and now there are fears that thousands of others could be in the same position.

Laura McCormack and her partner had three of the main manifestations of coronavirus and endeavoured to order a test online, but despite being on the electoral register and having a bank account, she was told they would have to go to a test site because their names and addresses couldn’t be confirmed in anti-fraud checks using the database supplied by a credit reference agency.

Laura McCormack said she had been in the United Kingdom less than a year and hadn’t built up a credit history and feared this was why she was refused.

Talking on BBC’s Money Box podcast, she said that the situation seemed a bit crazy and that they were guests in the United Kingdom and they were trying very hard to keep the population safe by self-isolating and getting tested.

But not being able to prove their identity was extremely bizarre. They’re both on the electoral roll, they both have bank accounts here in the United Kingdom, they’re on a lease and they both have bills.

There are numerous ways the Government could have accessed their identity information, so the reason the Government has chosen the credit path is a mystery to them.

The Government uses credit reference agency TransUnion to check addresses to reduce deception or misuse of the home testing system and to prevent multiple testing kits being ordered.

Both the Department for Health and Social Care and TransUnion told the BBC that it was not necessary to pass a credit check to get a home test kit.

TransUnion said that in some cases they may not be able to verify the individual’s identity, which can happen for several reasons, but they said there were other ways to request a test, including calling 119 or going to a walk-in test centre.

Research from credit experts Experian in 2018 suggested that there could be almost six million people invisible to the credit system and it’s not just happened to them, there have been other people that have not been able to get a test done because they couldn’t be verified, so had to go to a test centre, which is a complete travesty.

And it’s more than a little worrying that they’re checking credit files at all, but this is what happens when the Government outsources identity protection and the system for getting a test is far too complex for those without transportation or internet access.

And it doesn’t make any sense that just because a person hasn’t had credit or paid their way that they’re not allowed these things and it seems that when the Government outsource a public service to the private sector you’re dealing with people for whom you don’t exist except in financial terms.

So what does our credit have to do with this? Are they expecting us to all pay for the Test and Trace system now?

This is an excellent way to check people’s identification!

And the present moronic functionaries in Westminster have decided that evidence of identity should not rest with proof such as National Insurance number, bank account, a UK address or even household bills.

Instead, they’ve decided, no doubt to line the pockets of their equally corrupt friends to make proof of identity reliant on credit history and because of this a lot of people are being denied tests.

Would You Move Christmas Festivities To Summer To Contain COVID 19 Spread?

Members of the Government’s Scientific Group for Emergencies (SAGE) want Britons to ditch plans for family reunions over the festive season, weeks after millions are set to be released from lockdown.

The advice presented to ministers says that whenever announcing that a particular form of social interaction needs to be avoided, then they actively propose and reinforce a less risky form of socialising.

These could include carrying out the activity at a later date, such as planning a summer family get together to replace meeting at Christmas.

If people find it emotionally or almost impossible to avoid making contact with someone outside their household then they should be encouraged to make meeting that person as safe as possible.

For instance, if you want to meet someone, then you should self-quarantine before having contact for at least 14 days and then avoid direct and lengthy contact when meeting.

Boris Johnson has insisted the four-week lockdown, due to expire on December 2, should be enough to get the COVID rate down and protect the NHS.

The Prime Minister said England will return to the three-tier system after the nationwide shutdown comes to an end.

This could mean some communities will be under stringent constraints over the Christmas period, including a prohibition on the mixing of households.

Speaking at the Downing Street press conference on Friday, he acknowledged many were worried, weary and fed up after a rebellion on the measures from Conservative MPs.

Boris Johnson said he had every confidence the measures would work so hospitals would not be overwhelmed and the lockdown could be lifted as planned.

Christmas is in December and should stay as such, but we just have to adjust and accept that things might be a tad different this year. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing and some of us are fortunate that we live in an era where we can remain connected with our loved ones through technology, unfortunately, not everyone comprehends that technology, particularly the elderly, so they’re totally isolated.

But let’s not forget that as human beings we do need social contact and not just tech, but just for the time being while this virus has a hold on us and has taken us all prisoner we might just need to make the best of a bad situation – it’s not ideal, but what other choice do we have?

And I know we have plenty of conspiracy theory people out there that believe that this is a ruse for our Governments to control us, and they could just be right – our Governments might never allow us to have freedom again.

Boris Johnson might be spewing all his rules, we can’t do this, we can’t do that, but I can bet your bottom dollar that families will definitely be going to see their families Christmas Day, and they won’t give a damn if they get fined for spending time with their families over Christmas – what are the Government going to do? Police everyone over the Christmas period?

Should we cancel Christmas and remain at home? Perhaps we should, and be thankful that we still have our families fit and alive. Maybe we can have the biggest Christmas ever next year and the Government can give us all an extremely nice bonus for forfeiting this one this year.

But by that time we might all be mind-controlled by then!

SPORTY PRICE

She cosied up to Carl on a big green and black inflatable that was pulled by a jet ski and the couple modelled life jackets and grabbed on tight as they moved across the crystal clear water.

They returned home from a romantic trip only days ago, after a man was arrested over a brutal video ridiculing her disabled son Harvey.

The 42-year-old reality celeb was pictured alongside Carl as she boarded a seaplane back to the mainland.

Katie Price was seen in her wheelchair, with her two broken feet encased in sparkling orthopaedic boots, being wheeled to the aircraft.

It was a sad ending to the trip for the pair, who took the grand holiday in a bid to conceive the star’s sixth child.

A news outlet has revealed that a man has been apprehended and accused of sharing the offensive online video ridiculing Harvey, 18.

The unidentified 52-year-old was apprehended in a dawn raid at his residence in Hastings.

The video sees a female, who is thought to be playing Katie, saying: “If someone says something horrible to Harvey, what do we say?”

Her partner, wearing face paint, replied: “Hello you c***s.”

Katie wrote: “I’ve been sent this disgusting racist mockery p**s taking video about me and Harvey mocking his disabilities.

“Clearly planned hence the face painting! Does anybody know these disgusting humans as I will be reporting this to the police?

“Words cannot describe how upset I am, this is so cruel. These people need reporting.”

A news outlet is now backing Katie’s campaign to find the couple in the video and encouraging readers to get in touch if they have any information and a representative for Sussex Police said that a 52-year-old man from Hastings has now been apprehended by police investigating an offensive video posted on Twitter.

The police were made aware of the video about 8.40 pm on Wednesday, November 4 – a man was apprehended about 4.45 am on Thursday, November 5 on suspicion of sending by public communication net an insult that was vulgar, lewd and threatening in a message.

The man remains in police custody at this time.

However, it seems as if Katie Price has taken advantage of her son Harvey by taking money from a news outlet when these issues should be kept private.

A new man comes onto the scene and she’s off on holiday and I bet she’s the perfect mother when she’s sad and alone and this is why people have bad opinions of her. One moment she’s crying for help with Harvey and the next she’s relishing life with a new man.

I thought the talentless biddy was in a wheelchair? Mind you, this photo has the strumpet in her natural pose – on her back and legs spread open and she appears to be living the best life, especially for someone who’s supposed to be bankrupt, but you know what, my thoughts are with that poor inflatable at this difficult time, and was the inflatable made from her lips or her boobs?

But apparently, she was rushing home because of the video, but could afford a lavish holiday, but couldn’t afford to buy gym equipment for her son – and the mum of the year award goes to, wait for it, KATIE PRICE!

Gogglebox Hit By Ofcom Complaints

Gogglebox’s Pete Sandiford has found himself in hot water after dressing up in seductive underwear for a joke stunt on last week’s episode.

The funnyman, 26, had younger sister Sophie Sandiford grunting with stunned delight as he hobbled into their living room trussed up in a lacy black body, a tight zip-up mini skirt, fishnets and spiky black high heels.

Pete Sandiford finished off the outrageous look with a black curly wig and tried to sit down without flashing too much as Sophie shrieked with laughter.

Nearly stumbling as he made his way to safety, Pete moaned: “Oh my God, I’m going to have to take these heels off – how do women wear this s**t?”

“I look like a d * head, honestly – this outfit says: ‘I’m getting ck tonight’,” he quipped.

Sophie interjected to laugh, “That is the look we were going for”, as Pete hit back to insist: “Well it’s not the look I want to give off!”

But while most viewers found it hilarious, a handful furiously whined to TV watchdog Ofcom about the homophobic nature of Pete’s remarks and according to a news outlet, Ofcom confirmed eight of the 10 complaints received were primarily about alleged homophobic comments.

Two further complaints were made over Giles Woods’ portrayal of Bill Bailey as looking like a sex tourist on the previous weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing launch show.

Pete and his sister Sophie have become firmly entrenched in the Gogglebox family since joining the show in 2017 and the siblings have a strong bond and often have each other in fits of laughter on screen.

Last night saw a rare and emotional moment between them when Sophie broke down in tears after hearing plans for the second lockdown in England, which is set to continue until December 2.

Sophie works as a window dresser, and as the new lockdown has closed all non-essential shops, Sophie was utterly terrified she would lose her job.

As they watched Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s announcement, Pete asked: “What do they class as non-essential shops?”

Sophie answered: “If you don’t sell food, it’s just like last time. So my work will shut.”

“You alright?” he asked her, as he noticed she was silently sobbing.

“It’s just sad isn’t it,” she responded, brushing away her tears. “It’s just s**t for everybody, it’s going to get even worse, more people are going to lose their jobs and things like that, it’s just awful.”

Pete said as he touched her wrist: “Aww don’t get upset kid, don’t because you’ll set me off.”

Luckily, the pair were back to their usual pranks later in the episode, with Pete accidentally splitting his jeans while pretending to be Kim Kardashian.

There are numerous people out there that think these two are so comical and Pete didn’t do anything bad but have a giggle and entertain and at the moment, that’s what we all need.

It seems that we’re not allowed to have a laugh these days, but worrying yourself to death is encouraged, but we need a laugh with everything that’s going on – have people got nothing better to do with their lives than grumble?

These two are funny and have a great family bond and you could see that Sophie was so sympathetic when she was sobbing over the lockdown and how badly it affects folks, and her brother was so nice to her, and we actually shouldn’t listen to haters because it gives them a reason to get up in the mornings.

Rishi Sunak’s Furlough U-Turn Was Right – But It Was Forced By His Own Grave Mistakes

This week we have entered a second national lockdown, which has forced the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, to U-turn on extending the furlough scheme.

Both these outcomes the chancellor didn’t want and doggedly opposed for weeks.

He led the group of ministers in the cabinet who fought the circuit breaker when Labour supported it last month and he opposed Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, over the compensation package for those impacted by tighter coronavirus constraints.

The chancellor’s U-turns are not an issue in themselves – ministers should change their minds when their findings are shown to be incorrect.

The concern is the time it took for him to reach the right decision.

The lockdown delay has invariably cost lives that could have been saved and it will now require harsher constraints, and for longer, which will worsen the economic damage Rishi Sunak was endeavouring to sidestep.

During the first wave of the pandemic, the chancellor was widely lauded for acting decisively to protect livelihoods – intervening to ensure that Britain’s economic response was in step with the outbreak.

However, in this second wave, his response seems to be two steps behind the pace and behind his miscalculation is a false choice that Rishi Sunak has set up, between the health of the country and the economy.

No one denies that lockdowns are damaging to the economy. The numbers speak for themselves – a 20 per cent slump in output in the first month of the last lockdown – a projected 12 per cent contraction of the economy this year and an estimated 3 million unemployed by Christmas.

However, the alternative of soldiering on through the pandemic with no restrictive measures and the unavoidable increase in infections, hospitalisations and deaths is equally damaging economically, if not more so.

The loss of lives, the hysteria as people watch our health system collapse, the decline in confidence and the changes in behaviour as a cautious population restricts its social interactions, will have their own costs.

And this is the point, the dichotomy between our wellbeing and the economy is a totally false one.

A sound economy is one that works to protect people’s wellbeing, but while our lives and our health are under threat, the economy will never fully function.

The Government is supposed to represent the people and the press is supposed to research and document the truth, both are doing the opposite and this is one example of thousands whereupon the ruling Tory’s create misery and suffering amongst millions of people, then offer less than mediocre solutions to the myriads of problems they’ve made for themselves, and then claim hero status in doing so.

We are all living on borrowed time and money, this includes the Government – they won’t live forever, so why not live in comfort during this devastating time and print money and worry about the national debt later on – after all, it’s just money made out of paper.

Dominic Raab Self-Isolating After Coming Into Contact With Someone Who Has COVID

Foreign secretary Dominic Raab is self-isolating after coming into close contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus.

He has not tested positive and it was not immediately apparent whether he was getting a test as he will have to isolate for 14 days even if it came back negative.

A source close to Dominic Raab said in a statement that the foreign secretary was informed that a person with whom he’d been in recent close contact with had tested positive for coronavirus.

And that in line with Government restrictions and NHS Track and Trace practices, the foreign secretary has taken prompt steps to self isolate for the required period and that he will not continue to work remotely during this time.

It’s understood that his period of quarantine has not disrupted any foreign travel planned for Dominic Raab, although he will be unable to attend the Remembrance Sunday events this weekend.

However, would we notice any difference from a gentleman who’s ineffectual, the same as his colleagues, whether isolating or not? And it was said that he was not going to continue to work remotely, but isn’t this a description of what cabinet does anyway?

And let’s be real, nobody’s going to notice if he’s missing and isn’t it strange that every time a member of the cabinet makes a fool of themselves, COVID gets them. Oh, he will be missed, won’t he, will he – probably not – Dominic who?

Although he’ll probably be as right as rain tomorrow – it appears to be a Tory thing.
