Why is it unpopular to demand due legal process for a former prince. Surely society should only punish those who have been found guilty by their peers.
These are basic western values and the King has caved into a media circus and discredited age old British values.

There is a fine balance to be struck in the EU as the progressives try to assimilate the outsider whilst upholding the values of its Christian history.
Those seeking a better life in The EU should at least respect that history and not seek to overthrow the culture of their hosts.

Charles, a king who cheated on his wife in the most brazen fashion decides to exercise his power and remove a title from his brother. Is this an act of hypocrisy or an attempt to protect the establishment as Mandelson, another Epstein associate seems to have retained his title.

Once again I raise the point of the design of the set at @bbcpoliticslive
Guests not separated by the host Vicky Young results in them having their own conversations.
Unfair on this fine journalist and the set does nothing to further debate.
Another guest to her right further distracts the viewer

Ignorance is no defence in law unless of course you are the UK chancellor of the exchequer. If you pour coffee down a drain you will attract 3 officers and receive an on the spot fine.
Is it any wonder that the public find the implementation of the law rather confusing.

As politicians constantly fail to plan for the future it is always satisfying to witness Mother Nature hibernating the most vulnerable animals and laying dormant the relevant vegetation for winter.
We ignore her at our peril.

Why does the human race spend a disproportionate amount of time trying to destroy itself, either with weapons of warfare, questioning its own gender reality, or climate change denial.
It is as though we can’t accept our connection with nature but instead seek a separation from its reality.

BBC Cardiff singer of the year this evening is a cultural delight.
Dvorak captured sublimely, Puccini never disappoints and some Bizet champagne for good measure.
Thanks #BBC for an uplifting evening.

The Lib Dem interference in the internal discipline of the Royal family is political posturing of the worst kind
It is obvious that Charles is quite capable of dealing with his brother’s issues if left to his good offices
Maybe the precedent with Charles & Parliament should be for the history books

In 1963 the youth of the world looked up to this cultured president as a beacon of hope for our futures. I often refer to this wonderful speech whenever politics seems doomed to failure.

"When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. For art establishes the basic human truth which must serve as the touchstone of our judgment."

On this day in 1963, JFK's magnificent Amherst speech on power and art: www.themarginalian.org/2015/05/01/j...

JFK on Poetry, Power, and the Artist’s Role in Society: His Eulogy for Robert Frost, One of the Greatest Speeches of All Time

“We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.”

Wall to wall Union Jacks at the Labour Party deputy leaders event confirms just how patriotism is now regarded as a must have political prop.

Starmer doesn’t even attempt to hide away from his devious conduct. Sacking Lucy Powell as incapable, then pouring support onto her shoulders as she ends her acceptance speech.
He accuses Farage of being a snake oil salesman, even though he possesses plenty of his own brand.

It now looks as though JD Vance is learning from the Trump years as his sycophancy starts to wane and his eye turns to the keys of the Whitehouse.
Follow the leader is no longer his raison d’être and he may surprise both Republicans and Democrats

Two politicians stand out today as a credit to their nations with Carney ( Canada) and Zelensky ( Ukraine ) showing a pride and commitment that is rarely seen in modern politicians.
They both deserve the support of their nation as they face the Putin & Trump devious chaos.

Just imagine that if all the time and energy that @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social has spent on flawed assisted dying legislation had been invested in the #HospiceMovement.
Starmer caved into a pressure group that keeps revising a flawed prospectus in order to save this scam

Coffee poured respectfully down a drain is the enemy of the state whilst cowboy builders continue to blight the countryside with their fly tipping.
We knew the world was possibly insane and now it is proved.
It took 3, yes 3 officers to issue the £150 fine to a law abiding citizen.

How is the POTUS allowed to destroy part of the Whitehouse without a whimper from the USA political elite.
Have they just given up, or are they too timid to intervene.
Trump has very little interest or care for custome & practice as he lets the bulldozers do their worst.

Trump has decided to let Putin act with imPUTINacy and it is now up to other NATO members to sort him out before he advances his expansionist dreams.

It is getting silly now. BBC news reporters outside Prince Andrew’s residence to announce to the world that he has broken no rules regarding his living arrangements. Politicians who rent out their property portfolios at exorbitant rates preaching society about rental arrangements

I am certainly no defender of the royal family but are we to believe that the contents of a book are now the documents for the prosecution.
The media & political pile on is typical of those who want due process for themselves but are prepared to deny the same for others.

If the average age for marriage in the UK is now 35yrs, what on earth has happened to youthful enthusiasm.
Western birth rates will continue to fall with the void filled by societies with a more positive attitude to young parents.

It is interesting that a nation attempts to educate its young with socially acceptable values and simultaneously applauds the #BBC for producing output that contradicts those values.
“Shaft” & “Traitors” seem to be the values of modern production and we wonder at the contradiction.

It is obviously difficult for #Trump to deny #Putin a #Ukrainian land grab when he had his eyes on his own expansionism in #Canada & #Greenland.
