scottsdad Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Harry's at it again, I see. His timing, as always, utterly awful. When the BBC are getting a slagging about Di's interview, he comes out with his "truth bomb" interview. Manages to slag off the royal family pretty comprehensively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I thought initially it was a bit off investigating Martin Bashir whilst he was riddled with Covid and very unwell, but if Panorama is prepared to deceive the Royal Family, they won't think twice about doing it elsewhere. There is almost certainly a wider BBC scandal here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I remember the interview back in the day. I have vague memories of Martin Bashir being seen as a bit dodgy at the time but also there was much commentary about Di being able to manipulate the interview to her own ends. Strange how views change over 25 years. Obviously the whole Saville/Yewtree scandal is different but I can't help slightly thinking that bashing the Beeb for this now is a bit like watching a repeat of "Birds of a Feather" from 1996 and demanding the current Head of Comedy resign because it's unfunny pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Martin Bashir is a creepy little c**t. His interview with Michael Jackson was also highly duplicitous, he swooned with praise during it and said how great Jackson’s relationships with the children in it were then afterwards publicised it based on it showing that Jacko was a paedo. This was exposed during the trial by his defence and probably contributed to Jackson being acquitted. Great job Martin. Journalistic ethics in the 1990s really were in the gutter, this was a time where completely fucking celebrities by any means necessary was par for the course. One thing that’s come up today is that Meghan apparently told Harry that the only reason she didn’t kill herself early in their marriage was because of the fact that he’d already lost his mother. That sort of behaviour is deeply concerning. Using threats of suicide in relationships to control your partner is abusive. I have known people who have had partners threaten suicide or make suicidal gestures when there have been problems on their relationships and it is a massive red flag. I don’t really pay much attention to any of the Harry and Meghan story because who has the time really, but it’s worth reiterating what a worrying and seriously bad behaviour it is. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Bashir somehow came out of the Jacko interview looking like the creepier one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I was intrigued by the guy that produced the fake bank account documents. He is now presented as a whistleblower after he realised what they were used for. What else does he print, can he do money? I promise not to spend it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was and he famously featured when protestors invaded the BBC news studios as the news was being broadcast. Can’t remember what the protest was about though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDoddyKane Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Its a good look for Harry constantly complaining how hard done by he is and how he hates being in the spotlight and wants to live a normal life, while doing Oprah and living in a multimillion dollar house, Im sure no one is going to tire of hearing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
