  1. There is something unbearably sad about a 20 years old desperately trying to look 14, and latching on to every passing bandwagon, in a forlorn attempt to reclaim what she presumably sees as her past glories.

  2. If Biden causes concern to Americans, he absolutely terrifies the rest of us.

  3. Isn't it odd how supporters of the Markles always insist upon talking across everyone else?
    386
  4. 'Harry is living in another place.' Don't you really mean, Harry is living on another planet?
    371
  5. Alarming! Clinton actually comes across as a better actor/actress than Markle. Though, to be honest, the bar isn't set very high.
    364
  6. There really is no need to use AI to ridicule Greta. She already does that to herself, and far more effectively.
    297
  7. Do Social Services in the United States believe that it is appropriate for a drug user to remain in close proximity to two very young children?
    266
  8. You have totally misunderstood what Harry Markle means. He still wants the privileges and the benefits. He simply doesn't want the duties or responsibilities.
    264
  9. The BBC simply ignored most of the meeting, simply concentrating on the last few minutes. Entirely innocently, of course, I expect.
    226
  10. Wait for the second episode. Apparently, Markle reveals that she diverted a meteor from hitting the earth, using the power of her intellect alone.
    174
  11. How dare you? Shamelessly accusing dear Stephen Fry of being a 'comedian!' Not for many years now, in fact.
    163
  12.  @v.j.3029  Grossly unfair! In the forthcoming book, Harry has coloured in every picture himself, using his very own crayons, as pencils are dangerously sharp.
    133
  13. 'I may be incompetent, but aren't my glasses really COOL?!' Gavin Newsom.

  14. 1). It is sad to see a confused old man in public being allowed to suffer like this. 2). It is terrifying to think that an action by this confused old man might kill us all.

  15. 'Gross' by name, 'Gross' by nature, perhaps?
    106
  16. When I saw your headline, I was really concerned, until it became clear that she wasn't coming to the UK. Great relief!
    105
  17. There is a well known rule in these matters. Those who demand that others 'educate themselves' or 'do their research' are the ones who have done the least of either themselves.
    102
  18. I always understood that US Presidents invariably used the phrase 'My fellow Americans.' I observe that Biden began 'My fellow Democrats.' Does that mean that Biden believed himself to be responsible only to those who supported him, rather than to the people of the United States as a whole?
    101
  19. I believe that the crucial moment of the Coronation, when Charles is blessed by the Head Imam from Finsbury Park mosque, and cries out 'Allahu Akbar!' will take place in private.

  20. Breaking News! Omid Scobie reveals to be an android! The improbable colour of his plastic skin covering has given the game away.
    81
  21. It does seem odd that, apparently, some people still have faith in a leader who lacks the ability to string more than two words together coherently.

  22. A mate of mine told me that Doctor Who was awful, and to check it out I watched a couple of episodes. To my surprise, it wasn't awful at all. It was far, far, worse than that.
    71
  23. The nadir is being neared when David Livingstone's statue in Glasgow is facing removal because he 'profited from slavery.' His profit was apparently because, when working for 14 hours per day in a Glasgow cotton mill at the age of ten, he handled wool which had been picked (or might have been picked) by slaves. His 'profit' was the pittance that the owners paid the child. In effect, almost any old dead white man is fair game. It doesn't matter who he was, or what he did.

  24. No. They are not sufficiently islamic in appearance.

  25. Surely, how about an ambitious woman who helps to bring about the death of a monarch, then drives her husband into a series of increasingly evil acts? Lady MacBeth, perhaps, would be a better, if rather more challenging, role?
    67
  26. I was surprised that Harris didn't claim that she had personally supervised the action.
    67
  27. I believe that President Biden has chosen to have a week-end break. Fair enough, I suppose. It isn't as if there is much happening in the world at the moment.
    64
  28. These days, it seems to be a legal requirement, written into the BBC's constitution.
    63
  29. Yes. Apparently causing someone 'anxiety' is considered a criminal offnce. This opens up opportunities for me which I hadn't previously considered. I open the batting for my local cricket team. Quite often, some nasty fast bowler on a bouncy track causes me considerable 'anxiety.' Does this mean I can have the sod arrested?
    62
  30.  @mariejo7408  No. Age is not the issue, whether that of Biden or of Trump. What matters is mental health. I know people who, in their eighties, are mentally extremely capable. I also know people in their thirties and forties who are remarkably stupid.
    59
  31. Perhaps how some people seek to impose their views on the rest of society might be considered a cause for disquiet?
    58
  32. My youth was stolen when I found out that there were a large number of cricketers in the world, mainly fast bowlers, who were rather better at cricket than I was. Especially the one who removed four of my front teeth with a particularly nasty bouncer. How dare he!? I never got to express my annoyance to the British House of Commons or the UN, though.
    54
  33. Would Australia really have been better off had it remained undiscovered, and stayed at a mesolithic, hunter-gather, level of culture, where life expectancy was 35 at most?
    53
  34. Good job he wasn't in Scotland. He would have been accused of Hate Speech.
    52
  35. Compared to the Vice-President of the United States, let alone the President, my cat is a figure of authority. He is, by the way, a very smart cat.
    52
  36. As almost everyone expected, South Africa is firmly set upon the same course so proudly pioneered by Zimbabwe. From the Bread Basket of Africa to a basket case in around two generations.
    51
  37. How dare anyone criticise Queen Galadriel? The thing about luvvies is that many believe that they are the characters they portray. I prefer the Alfred Hitchcock approach. He said all he required of actors was that they remember their lines, and not trip over the props.
    50
  38. No, she can't. She has nothing else to offer.
    46
  39. The real tragedy of the British military of today is that a political animal such as Radakin (simply look at his career record) holds a higher position in the British Armed Forces than the great Andrew Cunningham ever did. As a Brit., I wonder how we have managed to fall so far so comparatively quickly.
    46
  40. Isn't it odd that, every time the poor old chap delivers himself of another outrageous lie, he says 'You think I'm joking, I'm not?'
    42
  41. More relevantly, how in Heaven's name did the Principal get such a job in the first place?
    41
  42.  @sharonmccalla9924  What does 'too white' mean? Surely you aren't being RAYCIST!!! are you?
    38
  43. If Americans are anything like we British, they will know that, when a politician says 'let me be clear' alarms bells ring as quite the opposite is intended.
    38
  44. It must be difficult for her to grasp the fact that, after a few years of celebrity status, she has now fallen into irrelevance.
    37
  45. The Labour campaign seems to have simply been to chant, endlessly 'vote for us. We aren't the Tories.' By comparison, the Tories have countered with 'vote for us. We are useless, but Labour will be uselesser.'
    37
  46. Just to amend your comment slightly 'for saying what the government deem to be the wrong thing on social media.'
    36
  47. This is very concerning. Who is looking after the President of the United States? He could wander off and take days to find.
    34
  48. @Janice Horner It may well prove to be the first nail in the coffin of the British monarchy that Anne was not born first. Unlike Charles, she does appear to have her feet firmly set on the ground. Or, at least, much closer to it than either Charles or William.
    33
  49. It really doesn't matter what the Queen said, as that won't necessarily be what the Markles will claim she said.

  50. There is a term used in Britain to describe Kamala's condition. 'Tired and emotional!'
