Forums Forums National News Prince Harry and Meghan

I am fed up with it already, I wish them well as I would any young couple but that's as far as it goes, it has already become a bone of contention of who is going to be the better royal wife, and all all this when our dictatorship is up to its usual tricks to mislead the public over brexit, too many people are more interested in football or Royal affairs than what's happening to the future of the country.

Lets say its a distraction to what is actually going on in the world.

I wish them both all the luck,

Maybe this is more beneficial to the soul of some ?

Ex-Coronation Street actor Bruno Langley admits sex assaults

Scarlet fever cases hit 50-year high in England

Rohingya refugees forced into sex work

Or maybe the disaster waiting to happen on Bali ?

Yes granny all of those are what I expect to hear on the news, what I don't want to hear is celebrity gossip for weeks on end, which is really all this engagement amounts to.

So this wonderful news we have just received will actually draw peoples attention away from all this "bad news" but the bad news will still be there granny, so in consequence lets forget about everything else and immerse ourselves in the Disney world of Royalty and everything will be ok at the wave of a magic Royal wand, and all the bad news will disappear, I think its called burying ones head in the sand, perhaps our young Royals might benefit from a few odd billion bung to enhance their marital bliss courtesy of the tax payer. Bah humbug!

It has started already.

Despite the government censoring bad brexit news in a report on its effect on various industries, the tabloids are full of the happy couple!

Of the two, I know which one I know which one I would prefer to see coverage of, and it ain't a B-list actress getting hitched to a royal. But I suppose if you are a head-in-the-sand brexiteer, you are likely to prefer Royal Romances to real life too.

Even the Guardian, that can usually be relied upon to have a reasonable view of what is important, has half its front page devoted to this pair with cheesy grins firmly in place.

One can always try to multi think. I watched "last men in Aleppo" last night. I can still manage a smile reading First World problems we choose to hype in our own minds.I learned some respect for the situation those people find themselves in through no fault of their own, and "choose" to ignore gossip that is oxygen for some.

Think we're all aware of all the problems facing Britain and indeed the World but walking around in a world of doom and gloom when there is little we can do about it is deeply depressing. We need Abit of Disney world of Royalty to quote Casper. We do Royal weddings so well and just for that day we can all be proud and forget about this broken world....Still plenty of time for all the pessimists and bad news to be banged on about.

The trouble is cools that we will be force fed this drivel for the next few weeks by the media, the TV is bad enough with trashy soaps and celebrity this that or the other dominating the evening viewing.

I think its hot news at the moment and a couple if weeks but then it will die off and back to bad news every day. we haven't heard much about Kate and the imminent royal baby have we so a little injection of good news surely is good...Not so for the anti- royalists I understand..

I look at the news like (does it affect on my life or my family if no more on)

There are plenty more news channels beside ours in the UK , expand your knowledge rather than focus on our well indoctrinated media reports and save the rest of us who like a bit of happiness in our lives, from being rubbished and dragged into the pit with all the doom and gloom merchants.

I assume Casper who has had enough of soaps etc. and the dismal entertainment offered on our screens, must have another passion for making him feel miserable about life.

If we are chastised for being happy about something, then the world is on the cusp of turning in on itself.

Try a bit of happiness , lighten up if only for a little while.

Quote cools " we can all be proud" -- proud we can organize a wedding? we as a nation will spend hours watching all this organized stuff to do with the wedding, etc , whilst our country is generally going down the pan because we have stupid politicians who virtually give away our gold , allow our industries to be sold off abroad, who have courts who make the most stupid decisions ,who sold off social housing whilst having increasing numbers of people bedding down on the streets ,who pay millions in wasted unmonitered foreign aid whilst our NHS dies......

But yes,perhaps its a kind of relief rather than pride,but looking around the world and seeing whats going on eleswhere I remain glad that I live in a country with at least relatively civilized behaviour.

Tut tut granny, chastised never, I am glad that you get some happiness from the Royal news, however I have just wasted 70p on a newspaper trumpeting the virtues of the royal couple, and pictures of the prospective bride in her scanties, as nice as it must be for Harry, I prefer someone more mature. xxx

Wasting 70p on a rag is your choice, Casper. As is Harry's choice of 'bride to be', and not you preference . You obviously were happy to read the tit bits, so that was a brief moment of happiness for you . I feel proud of you.

If you want misery, save yourself 70p and stick with this, up to the minute reporting (and no mention of Royals):
