I nearly choked on my fantasy crab sandwich. This 'writer' is pretending he's OK and that it's OK to muck-rake on another human.

The fact that Lady Mills-Mac is a fantasist does not in any way justify haranguing her, and the Mirror journo is simply trying to do that. It's all very grubby. Nero

I hear you Nero but as he's a social commentator he's only doing what he's paid for and that is to write his point of view despite what the paper's agenda may or may not be. Also how can we leave her alone when it is she who seeks to be in the media to raise her profile for her various charities and whatnot. She's a deluded self-publicist. Be that as it may I still think she is a sociopath.

It seems she doesn't seem to understand that people dislike her intensely.


Her public persona comes from being married to a legend. That's all. Take him out off the equation, we no longer care.


She obviously wants to continue to have a public role, but she doesn't have a right to it, we don't owe her anything.

She wasn't really a publicity seeker before the divorce tho was she? I can't remember her popping up all ove the place, except for animal rights stuff occasionally, so it doesn't really make sense to say at a traumatic time in her life she would be seeking publicity.


I also can't stand Mr Mc, arrogant twat that he is, and do wonder how much his people are fuelling the hate campaign against her, in order to get a better deal in the divorce courts.


I'm slightly on her side, but none of us really know enough to to make an informed judgement on this.

I really struggle to understand why anyone would seriously 'hate' Paul Mc.


So what if he wrote 'The Frog Chorus', and he wears silly polo-necks, and he let Linda play tambourine in 'Wings' and there was that business will the bagpipes on Mull of Kintyre? So what? John got killed, Paul got old. Take the last few years of John's life (with Yoko Sodding Ono) and imagine another thirty years of that. Go on.. try it.. I feel queasy already. Bleugh!

Totally agree with you on the Lennon front, but as for why I don't like Macca..


It's not his music (tho I loathe much of it) - there is something about the way he carries his place in musicall history that irks me unduly. He's not so stupid as to be openly arrogant, but he's much worse than that


Plus, behind all the thumbs-aloft mateyness there is something of the night about him (apologies to Widdicombe for the steal)


Another one: His gigs are worse than Robbie Williams for their karaokeness

:-$


Sorry Annasfield - I know people likes him but.. well, let's just say I'm balanced and don't dislike 'Eaver just because I like Paul (tu)


As for the thought of being chastised by both you AND Dulwichmum... well....

In what way? From memory, the last thirty years from Paul have been commendably restrained and dignified, considering where he's come from.

At the core of the anti-Paul brigade's mind-set seems to be some bizarre notion that somehow he doesn't deserve it (his place in musical history, I mean). Personally I can't think of many people who are more deserving.


Paul aint cool. He never was. But I am a fan of the Beatles and for that, I give him his due.

No one can take away from The Beatles, but basically I go along with what Sean said. Lennon was the more annoying though, I'll give you that.


Paul's attempt to get all classical was hilarious. Standing Stone if I remember rightly. A music lecturer I had at uni when I was doing my hobby (Alan) made us listen to it... What a total load of absolute sh!t.

Heather Mills' situation reminds me of Sarah Ferguson's in the 80s and early 90s. So I was interested in Sarah Ferguson's recent comments; I think this is a direct quote but who knows:


"It's quite difficult when you're in it - when it's right in your face," the Duchess of York told The Associated Press on Thursday night. "But there's always a reason for it, so maybe you have to change something in yourself."


"It's give and take," she said. "... If you are on the public stage, it's your public stage. Otherwise, don't be on the public stage. That's what I really think. If you're on it, accept it, if you don't want to accept it, get off it."


It looks to me as if Fergie's advice is to shut up and keep a low profile. Seems like good advice to me and it worked for Fergie; she's never going to be on my Christmas card list but she's come a long way from the car crash she used to be. Also, her kids are showing all the signs of growing into two well behaved young women - that says a lot.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
