What with Holly returning to the sofa without Phil, it really is all going down today.

I'm no particular supporter or detractor of Harry, but I think it's great to see someone with the balls to face down the monstrous tabloid press we have in this country.

I don't care much for Harry and Meghan, but I'm a supporter because of how much they make Piers Morgan furious, and nobody who makes Piers Morgan so furious can be all bad

Love that they’ve both stuck to their aim of keeping a low profile and avoiding the media frenzy about them.

Remember when the Cameron government conveniently shelved Leverson 2.

Indeed, they need to be faced down, they are responsible for so much damage to our country

You know he’s not the only complainant in this case, don’t you? Also, I’m sure you know William has already settled out of court.

I didn’t but he seems to have a monthly “must get on the news” gene

Or, if you look at it another way, I love that the media complain about how much they are in the news, largely through the wall-to-wall coverage of them whenever they do... ANYTHING!

In other Royal news, Princess Eugenie has just given birth to a baby called ENREST.

He's come out of this badly. MGN witnesses clear that the phone hacking was to his full knowledge at the time.

Would be a shame if it ended up with him going to jail. I know it won't happen, but imagine...

You may have finally sparked my interest in this case and forced me to post about it

Is their any chance that **** Piers Morgan could be sent down for his various misdemeanours arising out of this

I think it'll have to be a civil case against Morgan, decided on balance of probabilities.

You think it’s his choice? Harry goes to his father’s coronation, the press scream where’s Meghan.
Harry doesn’t go, the press scream, Harry snubs father.
The Daily Express devotes pages and pages to him like they did with his mother.

He despises the press because he believes they killed his mother. He wants to nail everyone of them.

And don’t we know it.

Yet he puts his wife (or maybe she does it herself) in a similar situation

We are not singing from the same hymn sheet on this, you admire him, I think he’s a bitter, not very bright, attention seeking saddo. So maybe we should leave it

You mean has to put up with the bull, the lies, and intrusion because of how he was born?

Piers Morgan hacked phones, and should be in jail. A group of famous people want him punished for it.
The press don’t have to report his every move. He did t ring up every paper to say, Look guys, I’m at the High Court on Monday’.

Look beyond the tabloids to see what’s going on.

See what happens with this case first. Morgan has to give evidence for the Mirror group
Will he perjure himself?
