@notanotheroneagain it’s aisles!!! Isles are islands!!

says the poster who is just bombarding the thread with childish memes,
got to lol.

It’s weird because on other boards obvious derailers who have entirely different conversations to the thread title and post repeatedly with memes are removed.

Well, they have both Nick Ferrari and James O'Brian. Several other opposing views, ofcourse. But at least left and right are all presented.

Which is why it's good enough for me.

Hahaha, So many exclamation marks too.

I should henceforth use isles all the time.

Put those tabloids in the back isles, please. 😂😂

indeed

Why is someone’s first language being German an issue or something that needs to be raised or worried about?

Wonder why not in the case? Especially when there is already a meme thread dedicated to the RF with this nonsense, where the three of them could continue with applause and encouragement from likeminded. Maybe MN should put a cap on number of memes per user name per thread, unless on an actual
meme thread.

I am the poster that the accusation of having sympathy with the Taliban was levelled against.

I rebutted it at the time - it was an utterly outlandish misreading of a post about the Rules Of Engagement (and I will C&P that post here as well)

It is outrageous that the mistake the other made is being dragged on to another thread as if somehow it were true that MNetters defended the Taliban.

It is wholly untrue.

Previous post:

Sympathy for the Taliban?

How the hell did you read that into a post explaining why a pilot following ROE against verified targets would not face a war crimes investigation?

Or the underlying assumption that targeting information and orders which flow from it are correctly processed, and that if errors are made then responsibility is taken? That's sod all to do with the Taliban, and instead everything to do with our standards in waging a campaign and our status as signatories to relevant international agreements

You'll be saying next that people decried the actions of some US personnel at Abu Ghraib were Iraqi sympathisers, rather than those who that deplore torture (whoever is carrying it out) and breaches of the Geneva Conventions (which were held to apply)

(PS: feel free to AS my posting history if you want to get a wider picture of my attitude to the military!)

notanotheroneagain totally agree with you about the parlous state of the UK press! I was shocked when I last picked up a Telegraph on a train a while back, my god it was like a red top with fewer photos. Not my politics but it used to be a reasonably intelligent measured newspaper. Now it reads like the Clacton Express! (With apologies to the people of Clacton; if they have an Express it's probably way better than the Torygraph ATM.)

As you say, so many publications have sold out; and gone for the most base, grubby divisive angles possible for profit. A pp down thread said it wasn't a uniquely British problem, but compared to our European neighbours, it really is. And it's a concern because this is the background which allowed someone like Boris "oh it's just a bit of fun" Johnson to become PM.

I don't understand why Prince Harry is once again blaming the Royal Family for this phone hacking incident and why it's related to Meghan, when as far as I can tell, there is no evidence whatsoever that she was a victim of any phone hacking incidents. Funny enough, it was Prince William together with Tom Bradby who discovered that they were being hacked, which then led to a criminal investigation against the investigator and the news company who hired him. It also came out in the investigation that it wasn't just the Royal Family but the people who worked for them who were also hacked. If, as Prince Harry claims, the Royal Family was implicit in a cover up due to being in kahoots with the media and not being allowed to complain or explain, how did this information come out in the investigation and why was Prince William allowed to make a report to the police of the phone hacking incidents?

Prince Harry is once again blaming the Royal Family for this phone hacking incident. No, he hasn’t. He has said the institution kept some details from him and he didn’t discover ANL’s hacking until after he left. These are new claims and the first to be levelled at the ANL.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrr the wrecking ball - her written mistakes came up.

And thank god for LBC who have stepped up when the madness infiltrated the Beeb too.

What details did they keep from him and how does he know for sure that they kept those details hidden from him? And how does he know that the institution knew that ANL was hacking into his phone? If he's only found out recently that they had been hacking into his phone why would he assume that the institution knew about it and why wouldn't they have tried to put a stop it? Why would they have kept that information hidden when they provided information to help the police and which was widely publicized regarding the News of the World?

Yes, and I sense he will continue to seek accountability from the Palace Press Office and the family members for how they've operated - looking the other way. Nothing to see here. Basically for wuss practices.

VixenTodd you said nothing about her spelling.

You said her "ideas" worried you more. I can't believe you wrote that.

I am reporting it.

My reading of it is that courtiers were aware, and the unified decision (on behalf of all the Royals) was that they would take no action.

Harry has said he did not know about that at the time, and that when he did have fuller information he chose to join one of the joint actions.

I don't see anything headline-worthy in that tbh

@Bluespecsandshoes agreed, it’s disgusting

You mean like reporting it to the police when it was first discovered that they were being hacked which then led to investigations of criminal activity and in turn caused the shut down of the news company that engaged in the illegal activity?

@MamoruHisaishi well if it goes to trial, we’ll find out won’t we. He has excellent legal representation.

you’re confused over news orgs. This is the first time ANL have faced any legal claim about hacking ( and more besides, including phone tapping )

Harry said the royals didn't bring certain articles to his attention.

Can the man not read? Surely he's capable of reading the papers and viewing the articles for himself - or was he hoping to just sit back and then anything he might b annoyed about someone else would bring to show him?

Personally, I deal with my own issues. I read the papers, watch the news. If I saw something I wasn't happy about and was the raising type (I'm not), I'd raise it. At the time I saw it. Not after many years when someone decided to show it to me because I'd not found it for myself.

He's buggered off overseas, short of money and now in the papers every bloody day and yet the one thing he claims to be most annoyed about is his privacy being invaded. I wish he would just keep his life private as he constantly says he wants to. There was no need for him to come here, to the country he hates led by a monarchy he hates. He could have quietly stayed at home, retained his privacy, and joined the pre hearing remotely.

World wide privacy tour - currently touring UK.

Why would they take no action against ANL when they did take action against the news of the world?

The prince added: "The Institution made it clear that we did not need to know anything about phone hacking and it was made clear to me that the Royal Family did not sit in the witness box because that could open up a can of worms."
He went on to say the Royal Family's "strict no comment policy" meant that "even the worst or most suspicious articles were often never brought to my attention".
