Jeremy Clarkson opened a pub in August 2024 with one rule: every single ingredient British. Here is what that rule immediately deleted from a perfectly ordinary pub.

- No coffee.
- No Coca-Cola.
- No gin and tonic. Quinine will not grow here.
- No lemons. No limes.
- No ketchup, for two years.
- No avocado. No pineapple.

His own line was that instead of a slice of lemon you would be offered a slice of turnip.

That list is not a gimmick. It is an audit of how much of a normal British menu now arrives by ship, and the answer turns out to be most of the small things nobody thinks about.

Then the figure underneath it all. A sausage made from his own pigs costs 74p. The same sausage made from imported pig meat costs 18p. He is absorbing that gap on every plate that leaves the kitchen, which is precisely the gap every British pig farmer is asked to compete across, without a television programme paying the difference.

And the ketchup has the best ending in the whole story. So many people asked for it that a sign went up telling them to stop. Then a producer in Chatham built one out of Isle of Wight passata, Hampshire cider vinegar and Essex salt, and it went on the menu.

The demand was always sat there. Nobody had bothered building the supply.

Grateful if Harry would take his unpaid legal bills, his conceit, his hatred of the UK and his heartlessness to his sick father and f++k off back to Montecito.

[Richard Eden @richardaeden]

Let's be clear here: Prince Harry is accusing a High Court judge who serves the Crown of a 'whitewash' ie a cover-up or corruption. How can King Charles allow Harry to remain a Counsellor of State who is legally entitled to stand in for the monarch?

If Reconciliation Matters, Why Doesn’t It Apply to Thomas Markle?

A pointed question for the so-called royal experts, commentators and journalists:

Why does the endless conversation about “reconciliation” revolve almost exclusively around Prince Harry and the Royal Family, while Meghan Markle’s estrangement from her own father and much of her family is treated as a non-issue that barely deserves mention?

If reconciliation is the noble, compassionate cause so many claim it is, why has there been virtually zero sustained pressure on Meghan to address the years of public pain from Thomas Markle?

Thomas Markle has repeatedly and openly expressed his desire to see his daughter and grandchildren, even while battling serious health challenges. Yet his situation is simply ignored.

Harry and Meghan have made grave accusations against the Royal Family: racism, failing to support Meghan’s mental health, briefing against them, leaking stories, failing to shield them from media scrutiny, and making them feel trapped. If those claims are as serious as they insist, why is reconciliation with that same institution relentlessly pushed as the moral imperative while any reconciliation with Meghan’s own father is barely acknowledged, let alone demanded?

Why has Harry never been seriously pressed on his apparent lack of effort to build or repair a relationship with his father-in-law? Why is Thomas Markle’s perspective so completely written out of the story?

It raises an uncomfortable question:

Reconciliation only generates relentless headlines, speculation, sympathy, relevance and attention when it involves the Crown, global prestige, wealth and institutional power. Reconciliation with Thomas Markle offers none of those things so it is treated as disposable.

Every few weeks we get another round of “Will Harry reconcile with the King? Will he return? Will the family heal?” Yet the equally legitimate questions about Meghan’s side of the family meet only silence.

The Sussex-aligned commentators and journalists who keep recycling this one-sided reconciliation narrative owe the public some answers. Why is one fractured family endlessly expected to forgive and forget, while the other is never expected to confront or heal anything at all?

The selective silence is not accidental. It reveals exactly which relationships are considered valuable and which ones are treated as disposable.

A genuine reality check is long overdue. If reconciliation is truly about accountability, forgiveness and healing, the principle must apply equally to both sides. Otherwise, it isn’t a principle. It’s just selective PR.

To all the so-called journalists pushing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s narrative that Prince Harry “didn’t get security” in the UK, let me do your job for you.

Prince Harry does receive police protection in the UK on a case-by-case, bespoke basis with advance notice. What he didn’t get was the automatic, taxpayer-funded protective security reserved only for the reigning Monarch and the Heir.

Even working royals such as Princess Royal and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh don’t receive that same automatic level.

Harry argues he should get it because he was born into the Royal Family and served in the military. By that logic, Prince Andrew could claim the same. 🤮
To everyone crying that Prince Harry is a terrorist target. Remind me, who was it that published details of his military service for a payday? He made millions selling out his family and country. If he wants more security, he can fund it himself.

Harry is now a private citizen, no longer a working royal carrying out duties for the UK. Demanding the highest level of taxpayer-funded protection anyway is pure entitlement.

And no - he wasn’t “denied security.” He was denied the specific level he wanted. You don’t get the perks after walking away from the job. Actions have consequences.

Welcome to reality, Harry. Enjoy your “Freedom Flight” 😌
