How poetic that these mugs didn’t concede a single penalty all season until the UCL final, and then lost on penalties too.
The football Gods cooked with this script 🙏🏼
Five years ago today Meghan Markle went on television and accused the Royal Family of racism, throwing out an explosive allegation on a global stage that she knew could never properly be answered. It was a calculated accusation that cast a shadow over an entire family while they were bound by duty and tradition not to publicly fight back.
What makes it even worse is the timing. While Prince Philip was gravely ill and the late Queen Elizabeth was in the final years of her life, they were forced to watch their family and legacy dragged through the mud before a worldwide audience. For a couple who had spent decades serving their country with dignity, it was an extraordinary act of cruelty.
Five years on, the irony is impossible to ignore. The monarchy she tried to damage is still standing, still respected and continuing its work. Meanwhile the grand promises of independence, global influence and unstoppable success have largely amounted to empty announcements and projects that quietly disappear.
She’s now largely shunned by the very Hollywood circles she was so desperate to impress. The same people she filled her wedding with while barely a member of her own family was present, except her mother who conveniently fit the narrative she wanted to project. Five years later there isn’t a single truly successful project to point to and everywhere she goes the reaction is more ridicule than admiration.
In the end, karma has a way of balancing things. Someone had to stand up for those who were publicly accused but could never properly defend themselves.
History has a way of revealing who acted with dignity and who chose bitterness and opportunism.
I don’t give a toss about Ian Huntley. I feel no pity for the monster who took two little angels from this earth.

Remember them. Mourn them.
Never him.
