Why is the Diana interview a bigger news story than the farmers being shafted over Brexit?

Just that really? Yes it’s an interesting story but the fact the deal means Australian farmers can sell their produce cheaper in the U.K. which will decimate British farming is a much bigger one.

Truss has to be the worlds worst negotiator. The Australians must be pissing themselves laughing. They have farms bigger than the U.K. and can flood the market.

Err the Levison report has never been implemented, the 'papers got away with phone hacking and no one anymore gives a shiny shit.

I'd imagine the effects on some families was terrible but who cares now.

People went to prison after Leveson, damages were paid and I don’t remember this rush to say “it’s in the past, forget it”. Of course nothing is ever perfectly executed and the media titans look for loopholes. That’s to be expected.

Milly Dowler was murdered in 2002, Byfield went to jail in 2012, people started to get charged with phone hacking intercepts etc, in and around these time periods..... not 25 years later.

Yes people did go to jail but not the ones who authorised it, Morgan was a mainstream presenter on GMB until a few weeks ago, no editors went to prison & Murdoch's empire remains pretty much unscathed

The recommendations didn't happen but Oh look! a Princess Di story from 25 years ago!

I would say literally because of what you said The government loves to pick a good time to bury bad news and this is it. The Diana story is inconsequential and most people don't care but will fill headline news while other things are going on. The Diana story also serves as a convenient excuse to shaft the BBC which is a policy the tories are committed to.

I agree these are probably the biggest reasons. Show up the BBC as crap and outdated perhaps, while hiding other news. Perhaps an honest side effect and symptom of the BBC’s limited funding for proper news. Perhaps a bit of soothing anodyne crap in what was definitely not a slow news week, nationally and internationally, and as Britain’s slow socioeconomic collapse continues. Perhaps a continuation of the royalist propaganda show we’re being subjected to lately. Perhaps to get us all to hate the biggest hereditary aristocrats instead of the government that’s shafting us. Perhaps to give us all something to puzzle and wonder over on the internet instead of something else they’re hiding.

The Diana story is inconsequential

The national broadcaster who claims to uncover stories of dishonesty, forging bank statements and forging a receipt for an abortion so a completely innocent woman was implicated in an affair she never had is inconsequential?
