On Monday's programme, Morgan picked up on the duchess's claim that her request to senior Buckingham Palace officials for help was rejected, after she told Winfrey she had had suicidal thoughts.

"Who did you go to?" he said. "What did they say to you? I'm sorry, I don't believe a word she said, Meghan Markle. I wouldn't believe it if she read me a weather report.

Do we still have to believe her? https://t.co/iL6tTKHmn8

Steady Pig, some people just don’t like to hear the truth spoken. This used to be a country where free speech was accepted and encouraged and opposing views were debated but sadly thanks to the likes of our main stream media we can now only be told what’s acceptable to them. 

You see you’ve even been brainwashed into thinking that GB News is something to be ridiculed when at one time you’d have chosen (as I do) to listen to all views and then decide for yourself. Thankfully more and more people are realising who gives the facts and turning away from the Beeb, Sly and the worst of them all Channel 4.

Very fair-minded, well written and balanced. No particular axe to grind.

Sadly Bonce I don’t think there is any media outlet that is completely unbiased including GB News so you have to judge them by what you personally believe. I think the days when you could just listen to our broadcasters and believe what they said are long gone. 

Weather events are now labelled as the result of climate change as if we’d never seen floods, storms or droughts before? Even better was Brexit with every negative piece of information labelled as down to leaving the EU whilst any good news was ignored.

It’s just a sign of the times I’m afraid so you just need to judge for yourself who you believe.

There were records prior to that of course but only unconfirmed amateur records but even they show years with much higher rainfall and temperatures. The summer of 2023 may have reached a higher temperature for one day but if you seriously believe that it was worse than 1976 you’re crazy. Even official figures still acknowledge 76 as being the hottest summer ever in Europe. 

Nobody’s disputing climate change, including me, but you really do need to start questioning some of the data and forecasts that are being thrown around. We all know that the major polluters are not going to stop using fossil fuels any time soon and we also know that there is a concerted effort by self interested bodies and individuals to push the net zero agenda despite the cost to the likes of you and me. Even if everyone stopped using fossil fuels now it would still take hundreds of years to reduce carbon dioxide levels to where your “experts” believe they should be and that’s assuming that these “experts” are even right, which I severely question.

You keep banging the drum Sluffy if it makes you happy and the rest of us will keep on hoping that one day our politicians will accept that wasting trillions of tax payers money on electrification whilst blighting the country with horrible windmills and pylons is totally unnecessary when far less money could have been invested in producing synthetic fuels that could be used with current technology.
