I grew up in a caravan. I am snobby, but certainly not in regards to wealth and status. The ability to be kind and to know something of the world and suffering are what make me respond to someone most keenly. On the flip side, those who know very little, but imagine they know everything, appall me. The stink of societal narcissism is the smell of a civilisation in decay. Greetings friend.

As a small-town Canadian who spent years working in London, I can tell you that disliking British television does make you a snob. British media is not just irrelevant, for the most part. It is shocking in how it basks in its vapidness. Canadian media sucks, too, but we just don't bother much as a result. There is no Canadian obsession with people in our media because (and maybe because we live next to the USA), they don't matter.

Its not about ‘persecution’ of Philip Schofield. What he has done is an abuse of power at the expense of a vulnerable young boy at best, aiding & abetting after the fact his brothers pedophilia & thus Schofield deserves to be dealt with accordingly & is reaping what he has sown. However, the blanket coverage by the MSM is transparently distraction from really important stories breaking about the governments chilling surveillance & oppression & control tactics aligned with an authoritarian dictatorship during & after the pandemic, for example, amongst many other important stories that are simultaneously being buried by the MSM as they flood the populace with sordid Schofield

A big part of the problem with Schofield, is that certain media personalities have highjacked and flooded mainstream and social media with subterfuge to further their own careers. The fact that very large numbers of the population are going along with everything they are being told, is the real concern. Decades of disorienting flim flam politics and bad outcomes, seems to have created a need for some kind of undeniable reality that people can sink their teeth into.

The Meghan and Harry story is another example of the trivial and as Douglas said there are huge issues that need addressing, not frivolous stories about celebrities. Whether that is Phillip Schofield or Meghan Markle who have both dominated the front pages for weeks at a time. These stories are choreographed by parts of the media, I am sure intentionally in many cases, to distract from real issues in government.

As the legendary South Park ripped into them displayed the hypocrisy of their want for publicity whilst crying for privacy. I picture them as a monster feeding off the publicity growing more bigger and hideous if the media and people stopped caring and paying them attention it would cut of their food supply and they would shrivel up and disappear

Meghan and Harry are a far more serious case. You are after all talking of a potential Head Of State in charge of reigning over not just the UK, but at least 14 other Realms. An option that totally despises that potential role, and insults that position by reducing it to an Institution that is no different from a company CEO. I can assure you that NZ would be in civil war with him in charge within a week.

Two simple questions for ITV and Schofield to answer. Is there an NDA in place that Schofields young lover had to agree to. If yes will They lift that NDA so the whole truth about what took place and when can be examined. At a stroke this will end all the speculation surrounding this whole issue.

There are a lot of media people who are now on the internet who feel they've been passed over by ITV and now see an opportunity to get their own back. They're sticking the knife in because of their own jealousy and resentment - they're settling old scores.

Isn't it marvellous that soon, a parliamentary committee will begin an investigation into the vitally important issues arising from the Schofield saga? What chance, I wonder, of there being a similarly high powered investigation into excess deaths running at up 20% above average for the last few months?

Focusing on trivial offenses is a symptom of cynicism. The widespread belief that all politicians never keep their promises, are corrupt, and accomplish little leads to a preoccupation with unimportant misdemeanors. The pursuit of titillation via famous peoples' indiscretion produces intellectual atrophy. Why do the heavy lifting of thinking about solutions to problems that matter, when one can get off on other peoples' salacious foibles.
