Given revelations about the conduct of the BBC & employees conspiring to defraud the late HRH Princess Diana, the crimes of Lese Majeste should be re-enacted into British law and their application broadened. A sordid media whose lies ended in two boys being left motherless. GSTQ
Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, believed Bashir who ".... had shown Spencer fake bank statements suggesting that Diana was being bugged by the security services and that two senior aides were being paid to provide information about her."
reuters.com/world/uk/princ…
Entirely unsurprising: "As questions continued, BBC managers failed to scrutinise his version of events properly and covered up facts about how Bashir had secured the interview."

abc.net.au/news/2021-05-2…
Upshot seems to be that the fraud that the BBC's Bashir & co perpetrated against HRH Princess Diana in 1995 caused her to reject the Royal Family's security, leading to her, when in Paris in Aug 1997, being at the mercy of the press horde whose reckless indifference murdered her.
No BBC fraudulent documentation and lies? Assuming everything else occurs, then Diana is in Paris with the Royals' special branch officers in tow, who work with the French Police. There is no speeding in tunnel, the car is an uparmoured limousine & French police keep press away.
If the British authorities lack the courage to prosecute, perhaps the French will charge Bashir & co as having conspired to procure a state of affairs in Paris where Princess Diana was estranged from the Royals & their security, and put into the very harm's way she was in 1997.
The British media - whose biggest power caused this whole state of affairs - then had the unmitigated gall, after Diana had been killed, to then blame the Queen and Prince Philip, who had done nothing but support William & Harry, especially after Diana had passed away.
The Royal Household that forms a phalanx around the Crown and the family in these and like times should be going after the BBC and anyone who played even the smallest role in covering the Bashir scandal up. Two young boys lost their mother. Examples must be made of the guilty.
Amazing to recall that during the recent coverage of HRH Prince Philip, the BBC coverage had the effrontery to play that footage of the Queen & Philip after Diana's death as if the Royals were the problem .... when all along the BBC's powers that be knew of Bashir & Co's fraud.

Further to the above, there has been disquiet expressed by some as to the use of ‘barricades’ and ‘bayonets’ below. My usual policy is never to explain tweets but as knowledge of the Ancien Regime vs the Revolutionaries is sorely lacking, here we go. Welcome to a very Tory🧵
As many but clearly all do not know, our modern Right & Left descend from various sources, most commonly cited is the French Revolutionary aftermath, when the King’s party sat to the Right of an assembly president & those opposed, the liberals as well as the Jacobin, to the Left.
For those of us who are Anglophone, our modern politics really starts with the British Civil Wars of King vs Parliament (Celts/Gaels vs Anglo) from the 1642 attempt by King Charles to arrest parliamentarians (who fully deserved this) until, really, the defeat at Culloden in 1746.

If there is an explainer of how any sane US President could oppose the North American Keystone pipeline - but then facilitate the Russian Nordstream project - then would be fascinated to read it. Stuff of literal strategic dementia
This is a small thread I did last October on energy and geopolitics

Massive puffer jacketing in Sydney this morning. Reminiscent of late Malcolmism when this was the ABC’s key demo, the Kelly O’Dwyer intifada.
That was all two years ago .... that funereal ABC special on election night in May 2019 .... the sight of Simon Birmingham - who had singlehandedly almost destroyed the Coalition in greater Sydney with Catholic schools parents - trying to say he played any part in the victory
Malcolm is entitled to some bitterness - and to a puffer jacket - but he toppled Nelson & Abbott & knew the game's rules. Right now Malcolm is the de facto opposition leader as Albanese clearly does not want the job & operates at Dave Sharma-esque low energy levels

Scott Morrison has done well by ignoring bleatings from corporate spivs & if he wants re-election he should ignore them now. Until there is mass vaccination, Australia cannot readily open itself to a resurgence of Covid or its variants. Crown’s first task is to protect the realm Image
Given the endless stream of expatriate woe stories, am surprised Newspoll did not poll what Australians' reaction is to expats who have not lived here for decades, suddenly, deciding, yes, they were Australians, again. I doubt it is 'let prodigal London fund manager come home'
Australia's slow pace of vaccination means our historically zealous immigration controls must remain in place. We are a massive island at the bottom of the world, we suffered terribly from Spanish Flu, and we do not have immunities from a herd experience or from vaccinations.

French officers at the Tomb of Napoleon
I did a whole thread on Napoleon here, that, my earlier self would be shocked that I did, but, now, even I have to defend Napoleon

This by @northumbriana on the French is one of the best pieces I have read in English - would add that the graves & history of hundreds of thousands of Australian & Empire war dead buried in France are very well taken care of a century later

Usually, at this stage of an Israeli-Palestinian clash, the Saudis would discretely intervene behind the scenes but one can only assume Riyadh sees Gaza, anyway, as a branch office of Tehran & the IRGC and is de facto on Israel's side, for now. A useful guide here. Image
Every serious person wants a functional, rule of law, state for the Palestinians. It is hard to see how that can occur so long as Hamas run a Palestinian territory (to wit Egypt to the south considers an enemy) & use it as a base for Iranian regime's objectives against Israel.
Twenty years ago: an Israel/Palestine issue usually got most/all of the Sunni Arab world involved. In 2021, that Sunni Arab world is (much) more concerned by Iranian moves and encirclement than it is to appear to its domestic realm to be allied to Israel. This is a new world Image
