Did he make sure a photographer was there or is it the case (which is very likely) that him and Meghan are pretty much followed everywhere they go by paps.0

If you want privacy and anonymity then I'd suggest that L.A. should not be the first choice. 😉elbowloh said:Did he make sure a photographer was there or is it the case (which is very likely) that him and Meghan are pretty much followed everywhere they go by paps.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Indeed, but i doubt his move to LA was part of a chess-game like thinking 10 moves ahead so that he'd get a photo of him laying a wreath out in the press, 6 months (or whatever) down the line.pblakeney said:

No it wasn't. It was Mr. Markle pleasing his wife. 😉elbowloh said:

If you add his mother's maiden name, that would make him Markle and Spencer.pblakeney said:
Rather odd behaviour for someone supposedly trying to avoid media.shortfall said:Harry Markle being upset at Royal courtiers refusing to lay at the Cenotaph on his behalf after going to great lengths to divest himself from any royal privilege, then making sure a photographer was present when he laid one at a cemetary in LA instead.
Harry Markle. Like muchly. 🤣

Would Donald Trump giving someone else advice about their marriage be one for the irony thread?coopster_the_1st said:

reminds me of a boss who told me to leave my then girlfriend (now wife) because I cited her as my reason for not staying in NYC (where I'd been for 12 months), who was on his fourth marriage.kingstongraham said:

Quite possibly, but if someone as self absorbed as Trump can see what is going on, you know there are issues for 'Mr Markle'kingstongraham said:

I think what he saw is a woman who doesn't much like him. It's a reflex action to have a go.coopster_the_1st said:

Turns out she did cooperate with the authors of Finding Freedom after all having spent months denying it. Well colour me shocked, invading her own privacy again.elbowloh said:

FWIW if people who are Brexiters are angry that the government isn’t publishing or even making impact reports on the full cost of the lockdowns - now you know how remainers felt during brexit.
Think we can all agree they should always do it and make it available.0 -
I wonder how much money it would cost to do this and the variability of the assessments would be huge. For sure an individual business could take a stab at their cost for a restriction but a government trying to add all those up the error potential is massive. To give one example what is the cost to the economy of the rule of six versus two households. Good luck guessing how that impacts open businesses in advance.rick_chasey said:FWIW if people who are Brexiters are angry that the government isn’t publishing or even making impact reports on the full cost of the lockdowns - now you know how remainers felt during brexit.

Why don’t you ask the BoE who did it and said no deal Brexit will be more costly than rona?john80 said:

I could do but the BOE and Carney also made some bold claims about leaving the EU that did not materialise on the day of departure. I wonder why that would be. Again your point still does not get to the bottom of how you would provide a full assessment that was accurate for different measures other than a broad brush stab in the dark. For example when you close a cafe maybe a company selling expresso machines online does a roaring trade. How you going to factor all this in. I am all ears to your mathematical methodology.rick_chasey said:

The BofE is now headed up by a Brexiteer and it is he who thinks no deal Brexit will be worse than the global pandemic. They have declined to release the details of their modelling so it is a bit unrealistic to expect Ric to build a model of the UK economy and share with you his methodology.john80 said:

I am merely pointing out the laughable request that Rick made that it would be possible to drill down into individual covid rules versus effects prior to making any decisions. Talk about paralysis by analysis. The figures would be about as questionable as a certain model trotted out at the beginning of all this.surrey_commuter said:

Likewise looking at data to see how likely people are to contract it in a retail environment?
Boris already has access to this economic analysis but declines to share it. The only logical conclusion is that people would disagree, based on that analysis, with the decisions he is making.0
