The difference between Sky News UK and Sky News Australia is quite startling. The UK version is actually quite a decent channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

String fellow Posted 19 February 2021 Share Posted 19 February 2021 Having walked away from his royal duties, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex should now become just plain Mr Harry Windsor, and he and his offspring should be removed from the line of succession, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 19 February 2021 Share Posted 19 February 2021 The Harry and Meghan stuff got too much airtime today in the media. They made their decision, let them live their live. And most of the country couldnt give a fvck Reminds of when the media shouted about the country being split between being in favour of Charles and Camilla's engagement or not when in reality the country was split between people who care (not many) and people who dont.

I know they don't have an airport but the duty free element must have taken a massive hit, and I can't see the Thai government really stepping in to help like our government would with Heathrow.
