Exhibit 47: #BookGate
The Daily Mail features 5 articles in 24 hours about Meghan writing a book, with front page ad criticising that you "couldn't make it up". Because no members of the Royal family have written books, right?
Exhibit 47: #BookGateContinued
More books by members of the Royal Family. Where was the criticism then?
Exhibit 47: #BookGateOnTheTV part 1.
Lorraine Kelly thinks that Meghan should donate any money obtained from her book to charity.
Exhibit 47: #BookGateOnTheTV part 2.
Lorraine Kelly makes no suggestion that Princess Michael of Kent should donate any money obtained from her book to charity.
Exhibit 47: #EvenMoreBookGate
Karren Brady scathing op-ed suggesting Meghan has no right to trade on the royal family name. Yet elsewhere the press lauds ex-member of the royal family, Sarah Ferguson for writing a romantic novel.
Exhibit 48: #MarxistGate
2018 Spectator, Meghan criticised for supporting gender equality. 2021 Times: Kate is lauded for attending Sarah Everard vigil, which highlighted violence against women. Same Che Guevara image, very different framing.
(See also Exhibit 22 #TooWokeGate).
Exhibit 3B: #MoreBumpGate
Princess Beatrice glamourously cradles her unborn child. Compare the approaches: "baby bump Barbie", "bump takes centre stage", "can't keep her hands off".

Exhibit 39: #PrivacyGate
Any parent in the public eye would understandably want to keep their kids out of the gaze of the paparazzi. Yet look at how differently the two royal couples are treated for it.
Exhibit 40: #ExpensiveClothingGate
If in the public eye as much as Meghan and Kate, one has to dress well. That doesn't come cheap. McQueen and De La Renta are both top designers, neither are cheap. Why is £94k worth of clothing OK for one, but the other "has expensive taste"?
Exhibit 41: #BabyGenderGate
Apparently noone in the UK ever knows the gender of their expected baby, despite the clarity of ultrasound scans. Knowing the gender of your baby is "the LA way", linked to Meghan's nationality. (Nationality is part of race). archive.is/tHlXf
Who are all the hypocrites who voted against abolishing the Tampon Tax back in 2015 but have had a sudden change of heart? First up, Steve Baker, Conservative MP for Wycombe.
Next we have Bernard Jenkin, Conservative MP for Harwich and North Essex. The patronising way in which he calls Stella Creasy "feisty" really shows his commitment against sexism. Nice job!
Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor and Conservative MP for Richmond, Yorkshire, also voted against the 2015 motion to abolish the Tampon tax. What's with the autographed graphics, Rishi? Do you think you're some kind of rock star?
Please stop quoting pasta prices. A packet of pasta won't feed a family alone. You never cater for all the sauce ingredients, kitchen implements, cooking gear, energy, time. You fail to budget for competing demands of home heating, rent, water rates & council tax, among others.
Until you people recognise that others are entitled to a degree of variety in their food, nutrition instead of empty calories, fresh fruit and vegetables, clothing, shoes, internet access (don't pretend job seeking and many other services and needs are possible without it!)...
Then I am, like other people, sick of your shopping lists and diktats about how cheaply people can feed their families. For years and years the ONLY TVs available are flat screen. So stop all this nonsense about phones and TVs suggesting a lack of poverty. It's nonsense.
As Conservative MPs bemoan the lack of proper debate, a reminder of their rhetoric.
Lawyers: activists, lefty do gooders
Judges: enemies of the people
Refugees: illegal immigrants
Remainers: saboteurs, traitors.
Legislation: surrender bill
Corbyn: a big girls blouse.
Given that Bradley and Saxby are two of the worst offenders only very recently, their gaslighting is all the more unacceptable.
Neither Saxby nor Bradley have been quoted out of context. Their whole social media posts have been screenshotted, and posted EXACTLY as they wrote them. When your exact words are used, that cannot be said to be out of context. We're not buying it.
