Are You Allowed to Say She’s Lying?

Meghan Markle files complaint with Britain's ITV over Piers Morgan's comments on Oprah interview | KTLA

Is this “a watershed moment in the battle for free speech,” or just another celebrity food fight?

Never mind. Free speech needs all the help it can get, these days.

Commentator Piers Morgan walked off the set of Britain’s most popular daytime TV show, Good Morning, Britain, when it was demanded he apologize for saying he didn’t believe a word Duchess Meghan Watsername said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey (https://www.thedailybeast.com/piers-morgan-demands-his-old-job-back-as-meghan-markles-complaint-and-57792-others-are-thrown-out?ref=home). Personally, I’d walk five miles out of my way to avoid seeing that. Morgan saw it and didn’t like it.

So the case went up to Ofcom, a “regulator” of what’s put on or kept off British television. Sort of like our FCC, except sometimes it makes decisions. Ofcom received over 50,000 “complaints” against Morgan. Sounds like humbug to me. Typical internet troll stuff. The regulator concluded that to let Morgan be silenced for this would be a “chilling restriction on freedom of expression.” Sorry, Meghan, you gotta suck it up.

The duchess said Morgan’s comments made her feel “suicidal.” Really? Maybe she needs psychiatric care. Or maybe that was just a lie.

Meanwhile, over here in the Land O’ the Free, the mother of a Marine killed in Kabul in the Great Skedaddle has been silenced by Big Tech for criticizing Dodderer-in-Chief Joe “Humiliating Fiasco” Biden…

How do we get our freedom back?

Harry and Meghan Hailed for Having Only Two Kids!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's picture removed by the Queen | HELLO!

Is this really the best the UK can do?

Cato the Elder once said he’d rather people asked why he didn’t have a statue in the forum, than why he did. He’d have gotten a kick out of this nooze.

Goofy Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, will receive an award from “Population Matters” for their plans to have only two children (https://pagesix.com/2021/07/10/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-get-award-for-having-only-two-kids/). The Ol’ Planet just can’t support more, we’re told. They made their announcement two years ago, and now have a two-year-old son and a baby daughter. So that’s the end of the line.

What with abortion, transgender, and “gay rights,” it’s kind of surprising any babies get born at all.

Gee whiz, I had zero children. Where’s my reward? I want a statue! I know lots of married couples who had only one child, or none at all. Where’s their ticker-tape parade?

I don’t know… Honoring people for not having children? Where does that get us?

But like I always say, there’s no one as anti-human as a humanist.
