One thing I am fairly sure about - he really is Charles's son. I'm sure they will have done the DNA test, and if all they had to do was release the evidence and Harry became an irrelevant byblow of his mother's affair - then I think they would do it.

Sadly, this particular Harry is called Henry.

It's a public vote so it's always open to a bandwagon getting going. Tony McCoy won one year because the racing fraternity spotted a gap in the market and decided to go for it. Not that he didn't deserve it - winning the jockey's title 20 years in a row - but he didn't particularly deserve it...

Certainly the presumed right-wingers who support trans rights have been particularly active in general abuse of JK Rowling and other left wingers who still support women's rights.

Thanks.

I don't agree with Gullis's comments. Bishops should preach about politics, especially those who are part of the Lords Temporal. All I'm saying is that Gullis should be criticised for what he said; he should not have comments invented (or in this case, edited) as a way of encouraging people to...

Of course they could. And that brings us back to the question I posed earlier, did Hancock and friends take over all PPE procurement and ban any of his staff from having anything to do with it? Or was it incompetence all round? That's what above all they need a proper enquiry about, what was...

That's the sort of reporting that's useful and factual. On the "Tory meltdown" thread there's just a load of rumour and speculation, but this is the sort of thing that we can get our teeth into. If that report is correct then she's clearly a crook and should be sent into jail and bankruptcy...

Yes, send him off. If you're going to change the rules so that the goalkeeper can't be sent off, then what's to stop him greeting all the penalty takers with a haymaker to the head so they're unconscious and can't take the penalty at all? The World Cup Final ref made it quite clear that he...

Don't be fatuous. His quote was only three sentences long and even if you've never read anything longer than a twitter thread you know that he's talking about preaching politics. You can get any politician to say anything if you take it completely out of context. Gullis replied: “I don’t...

But I still don't know whether the government specifically told the civil service that they must not get PPE from existing suppliers even if it was available - in which case they're obviously culpable. Or whether they personally took over the system of ordering and refused to let any civil...

I think what we're discussing here is "GOCTVE" - "Greatest of Colour TV Era". None of us know enough to compare the former GOATS like Puskas and/or Di Stefano. Same basis as the commentators were drooling on about yesterday's match being the greatest match ever and we have never seen the like...

I do wonder if any of the civil servants should share the blame. It hasn't really been made clear whether the ministers were solely in charge of procurement of PPE and made decisions for all the contracts, or whether the ministers were doing what they could to source extra supplies while...

The graph started in 2013-14. I couldn't comment on data I didn't have. I don't know what the USA spends on healthcare, but I would suggest that we don't want to be using them as an example. Because of their peculiar system they are vastly inefficient, far more inefficient than the NHS, and I...

There's good reason to comp[alin about Clarkson's comments, but the three I have seen all base their complaint around the fact that Meghan is a woman. Why? Why, in today's society, shouldn't Meghan be treated as a person in her own right, and Emily Clarkson and others should call out vile...

I was 7 when my Dad first gave me £1 (it went further then, 1971!) to go to the shop and buy presents for everyone - two grandparents, two parents, a great-aunt, three siblings. I can't remember how old I was when I had to fund it myself, probably about 10 or 11. It probably helped that Father...

I think for most people it's not quite so black and white as all that. The choice isn't (or shouldn't be) between keeping all the administrators we have now or sacking all of them. There's a huge range of mid-point views that says there are too many highly paid administrators doing jobs that...

That's just semantics. For the record, when I said "rejected out of hand" I did mean the ones that were rejected without being considered. I would have thought that the binary opposite to "rejected out of hand" would be "given proper consideration".

I'm never quite sure about Brighton people. Most of them are generally opposed to stereotyping, but there are still quite a few stone-age types who still work on the basis of "I'm glad I'm not prejudiced like everyone from Burnley".

Have you ever googled the definition of "telephone"? ;)
