When Elizabeth The Second passed away last Thursday afternoon, those in and around the right-leaning, authoritarian and judgmental part of our free and fearless press might not have realised that the train of events that death would set in motion would lead to them being conclusively exposed to the whole world not as journalists, but as propagandist liars and frauds.
The meeting that the press told you would never happen
Anyone who had been taken in by these charlatans should have already stopped and thought, but maybe they didn’t see the vid. But there was no avoiding the live TV pictures from The Long Walk. There had, the press had told us, been an irretrievable breakdown in the relationship between King Charles’ two sons. They were staying close together, but were not in touch.
It was, let us not drive this around the houses for too long, part of the campaign waged by the Mail titles, under the less than benign guidance of the legendarily foul mouthed Paul Dacre - and, to their shame, followed by rather too many other titles - against the Duchess of Sussex. The Vagina Monologue and his sycophants had one mission: to break her.
To that end, as Edwin Hayward noted yesterday, “The Daily Mail's industrial levels of hate-mongering aimed at Meghan Markle barely slowed as the nation mourned. Run your eye down these 15 headlines from the last 48 hours, then consider they only ran one negative piece about Prince Andrew … It's a sickness. A deep sickness”. It was also a deeply dishonest one.
Because, as the crowds in Windsor waited on the off-chance of seeing Royalty, the barriers were arranged, two Range Rovers advanced along The Long Walk, stopped short of the gates and out stepped not just the newly-titled Prince and Princess of Wales, but also Haz and Megs. Side by side. What was that about a relationship that had irretrievably broken down?
And what was that about hating on the Sussexes? The crowds emitted no booing, no-one did other than smile, and one teenager asked Megs for a hug because she wanted her to know that she “was welcome here”. The press had made all manner of claims about her. They were mainly untrue.
Who says I'm a f***ing busted flush, c***?!?!?
More believable was the sentiment from Alex Beresford, whose calling out of former Screws and Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan caused the latter to throw the mother of all mardy strops and storm off the Good Morning Britain set. He simply added “I know I needed to see this”. So did everyone else. They could then see who had spent the recent past lying to them.
And the reason for that lying is a very straightforward one: the Sussexes have taken legal action against both the Murdoch and Rothermere press. Add to that the lack of access they give that press, and other titles, when the assumption is always that anyone Royal, even tangentially so, is theirs to plaster all over front pages and drive sales, and that drives the smears.
If Haz and Megs called off the lawsuits, made nice to the Dacre doggies, and gave them some access, all of this would stop. Snap. The rest of the press would fall into line. But because they will not play the game, the Vagina Monologue and his minions churn out hatred in their obsessive demand that their targets bend to the press’ will. Tom Watson was right. It’s like the mafia.
Except now you can see how much of what is churned out in pursuit of that hate campaign is true. And the answer is, very little. No change there, then.

It's "A deep sickness" at far greater depths than Yesman Dacre and his fellow scum......
I see that Darren 'Crafty One' Grimes has been booted off Gammon News for a less than flattering Tweet about our new monarch. Probably the first half decent thing that repellent channel has done.
Charles had it right when he called Witchell a horrible man. He has shown it in spades over the last few days.
Meghan didn’t escape comment with a comment she was looking ‘rather anxious’. She looked perfectly OK to me.
He has reminded everyone he is his almost 70. Considering the clear out the BBC have been having recently why isn’t he on the list?
I really do wish people would wake up and see just how powerful the editors of the Fourth Estate are - more than any politician, banker or industrialist. I'm sure they'll be delighted to learn that Jonathan Gullis has been appointed to the DfE. Can't have the populace learning things for themselves or querying what they're told, can we?
To Anonymous @ 14:30 - you cannot force someone to retire any more because to do so would fall foul of the Equality Act of 2010.
It’s this simple. I look at the people who hate and spewed hate towards Meghan Markle.
Trump, Farage, Piers Morgan, Dan Wooton
Kate Hopkins and we know who they're aligned with, and that's the right-wing extremist propaganda machines who profit off hatred
The behaviour of the British media is disgraceful and the whole world is watching them .Hate and racism at this level?What is Britain teaching its kids?Hatred, racism, and bullying is all OK?Harry and Meghan are so loved around the world. What Great ambassadors they would have being to Britain. Jealousy and racism within the Royal family has cost British charities a great deal. The more they throw hate at Harry and Meghan, the more the world is embracing them.
You would think the British Media would know better, but clearly not.
Yes, yes, that's all very well. But what about the 'royal' corgis?
