Queen reverted to the title of Princess after her abdication in order to allow the successor, to become the new monarch. In the Netherlands, the title of "Queen" is reserved for the reigning monarch, so upon abdication, she took on the title of Princess. Think this will be the same in Denmark.

ITV viewers vent their 'blood is boiling and feel sick to their stomach' just minutes into Mr Bates vs The Post Office
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...st-Office.html None of those Post Office Executives have ever been to prison or will ever likely to step foot inside one either, when you're protected by the "Establishment" you are gifted a "Get Out Of Jail Card" which lasts until you exit this mortal realm. The CEO, Paula Vennells was awarded a CBE in 2020, who nominated her and who signed it off is still a mystery, and all this was taking place while her and her cronies were under intense scrutiny in a court of law, goodness me, we've really let the establishment get away with this kind of behaviour for far too long.

Baroness Bra flogs her assets 'for a £29M loss': Michelle Mone and billionaire husband launch £80m fire sale of their £41m Caribbean villa, £7m superyacht and £7.5m private jet after her bank accounts were frozen amid PPE scandal
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-scandal.html As usual the media have got it wrong again, they do this on purpose to try and sensationalise everything, what the headline means is, if she sells them at the prices in the headline above she will make a loss of £29 million. Rich people don't need to have a fire sale, they'll have friends who will give them access to money, all for the correct price of course, the items "Baroness Bra" is selling will sell themselves on their own merit, other rich people would buy them for a bit of a knockdown price but, fire sale?, Never.

Joey Barton attacks ITV's FA Cup third-round punditry team with a sick taunt about Eni Aluko and commentator Lucy Ward, as he claims their coverage reached 'a new low'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...d-new-low.html I agree with Joey about the female commentators, they are rubbish and I do turn the sound down too, but goodness me, comparing those two females to 2 serial killers is way out of line. Mr Barton, an apology is not enough this time, you should be made to teach them how to kick a ball, starting with yours first, I'm sure with practice they'll get really good at it.

As Met Police confirm criminal probe, Jeremy Hunt says he will do 'everything' he can to speed up compensation to victims of Post Office scandal
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-scandal.html Firstly. If the TV Programme Mr Bates vs The Post Office hadn't been made the government and the Post Office would have kept on dragging their feet until all the sub postmasters were dead and buried. Now it's out in the open the government will fast track it to make it seem as if they had complete control of it from start to finish. By all means give the victims a proper compensation pay out (the current compensation package is not fit for purpose), but don't rush things so even more mistakes are made. After all it was both of your administrations that had both enabled Fujitsu to get away with this useless system called Horizon in the first place, and the sub postmasters have suffered enough from criminal injustice as it is. Secondly. There are certain executives from the Post Office and Fujitsu who need to be prosecuted, and anyone with inside knowledge of these crimes who was in government at the time should be held accountable as well. Will that happen?, things are moving in the right direction, but these people have powerful friends in the Establishment and the Prime Ministers cabinet office as well, so don't hold your breath.

Rishi Sunak gathers Cabinet to hammer out plan to clear Post Office scandal victims - as ministers hold talks with judges and warn Fujitsu it could face huge compensation bill
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...pensation.html Hahaha. Sunak's government are caught in the medias spotlights like rabbits in the night, after 13 years of ignoring the sub postmasters they are moving things along at breakneck speed, they'll do anything to get out of the spotlight even if they have to sacrifice some of their own to do it. Those executives at the Post Office will feel the wrath of the government for dropping this mess in their lap, and a warning to Fujitsu too that they are in their sights as well. The IT firm behind the flawed Horizon software might end up facing a huge compensation bill if a public inquiry finds it was culpable. Isn't it just wonderful what a simple TV drama can do for the victims, well, if it rights a lot of wrongs I'm all for it. As for those PO executives, maybe they'll have enough friends in high places to help them come out of this unscathed, and those who didn't have many friends are going to become the scapegoats, they accept the rewards of success and they know the price to pay of executive failure too.
