But I posted a picture of someone with an actual swastika on their wall and you all jump to his defence.

Have you ever considered volver that some of us on GN might be Jewish? It has nothing to do with nit picking about a tree so your arguing on this is out of order.

OK, I take it back. I should never have posted the picture.

Can I just point out that a large section of GN has spent the last few days nit-picking about what they consider to be lies and what a banyan tree looks like. And that a writer has obliquely suggested (said?) that Doria was a drug dealer who spent 10 years "away from home", and you've all got off on that.

Pot, kettle, black, tickingbird.

Here's an example of his extensive research skills.

Just shows you can’t believe all you read, and you need to check the veracity before quoting something as fact.

What is all this Jewish Nazi stuff please?

volver posted a photo of Tom Bower with an arrow drawn on pointing to some picture or something in the background featuring a swastika. The implication being he is a right wing Nazi supporter and, therefore, anything he says or writes can be dismissed. I pointed out the truth.

Egg, face, volver grin

I understand better now. That’s very helpful Joseanne.

Joseanne Wed 11-Jan-23 22:02:54

I'm not sure what to think about Tom Bower. He is certainly provocative and goes to the wire with his comments, but I can't see that he is hoping to achieve anything in particular. He seems to know exactly when to stop short of disclosing too much, like when talking last night. He claims to know something about Doria but I don't think it is actually that important.
I don't think the nazi/Jewish stuff on here is in any way relevant or helpful.

Thomas Michael Bower is a British writer and former BBC journalist and television producer. He is known for his investigative journalism and for his unauthorised biographies, often of business tycoons and newspaper proprietors. Wikipedia.

ronib Wed 11-Jan-23 21:38:52

Tom Bower studied law at LSE and has been considered a Marxist. A refugee, a barrister.

ronib Wed 11-Jan-23 21:28:40

I’m in a tizzy by now. Any chance you could explain what you are talking about? It’s very difficult to follow…

volver Wed 11-Jan-23 21:09:00

Oh, we are in a tizzy.

tickingbird Wed 11-Jan-23 21:06:59

volver

Just to add you do know he’s a Jew?

tickingbird Wed 11-Jan-23 21:05:25

Are you saying he’s a Nazi sympathiser? He has written books about them and individual nazis. Carry on scraping the barrel. I’ll pop back tomorrow to see what other rubbish you can come up with.

Try not to take things so personally. We all get things wrong from time to time volver dear smile

volver Wed 11-Jan-23 20:59:13

I'm proud that you think my Photoshop skills are that good. 😂

No fakery.

tickingbird Wed 11-Jan-23 20:52:43

OMG volver. I didn’t expect you to resort to fakery. That’s pathetic.

volver doesn’t know - it’s that damn inbuilt bias again hmm

Are you saying your own inbuilt bias is non-existent tickingbird? If you are, I want to see the evidence on a reputable site. I’m good at googling, (and very modest of course), and I can’t find anything - there are lots of dubious gossip sites though.

You know volver. How could you know, any more than any of the rest of us with access to google know? I know what wikipedia, for instance, says but I don't know the facts.

Indeed. We're all different, even in ability to google.

Because some posters know. They just know. It doesn’t matter whether they really know any more than anyone else, they just know. Even when I posted something that was personal experience, I evidently didn’t know more about my experience than some posters thought they did.

volver Wed 11-Jan-23 19:01:10

No I don't know. It could all be true.

It could be true that Meghan's mother dealt drugs and went to prison for fraud, and that the sainted Thomas brought that nasty ungrateful girl up all by himself because his wife is a wrong'un.

That could all be true....

Sorry just got distracted there by a flying pig. 🐷

Apart from anything else would a hospital give someone a foetus to carry away? I’ll be frank I don’t believe much of what he says and watched Tom Bower being interviewed last night and he was extremely scathing. He says a lot of the book has been written by Meghan and he said some things that I won’t repeat on here but he said them on national tv and made it clear that legally he wasn’t worried. He only stopped short when Doria’s missing years were mentioned when he said legally he couldn’t say where she was for over 10 years whilst Meghan lived with her Dad. Pretty damning stuff about Harry.

Where does tickingbird say prison in this?

I haven't heard anything about Doria being a jailbird, but I'm sure if she had been the papers would have gotten hold of it by now.
