If Mr M has his head screwed on he'll say "Sorry, she's not returnable".

No refund on Damaged Goods?

Goods should be 'fit for purpose', of course.

.... And returned in original packaging...

"Nobody is destroying Harry more effectively than Harry...".

Full marks to David Starkey for this summing-up of the boy's disease;

A good review of South Park. I didn't understand half of it but this explains the background.

Ginge is in court in London next Tuesday which should be very entertaining. HMK is going hiking in Transylvania.

I think I can get through life without watching 'South Park'.

I prefer 'The Muppets' - much more entertaining.

US court to hear challenge over Prince Harry’s visa following drug revelations

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/01/us/princ ... index.html

Prince Harry’s US immigration records should be unsealed in the light of revelations about drug-taking in his recent book, a conservative think tank will argue in a federal court next week.

The Heritage Foundation is suing the US government to find out if it acted according to procedure when it granted the Duke of Sussex a US visa. Under US immigration law, evidence of past drug use can be grounds to reject an application.

The case will be held in front of a federal judge on June 6 at the US District Court for the District of Columbia.

The Heritage Foundation filed a complaint under the Freedom of Information Act, attempting to compel the government to release Harry’s immigration file. “The requested information is of immense public interest,” reads an amended complaint filed on May 5.

“Widespread and continuous media coverage has surfaced the question of whether DHS [Department of Homeland Security] properly admitted the Duke of Sussex in light of the fact that he has publicly admitted to the essential elements of a number of drug offenses in both the United States and abroad,” it continues.

The original request for Harry’s records was rejected because Harry had not indicated that he “consented to his information being released,” the US Justice Department said in court papers.

In addition, DOJ argues that “citations to speculation about the status of Prince Harry’s visa are not sufficient to meet the standard” to speed up the process of releasing the document.

The Heritage Foundation has long been one of the most influential conservative think tanks in Washington. Nile Gardiner, director of the foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, tweeted on Thursday that there was a public interest in disclosing Harry’s records.

“Given his extensive drug use admissions, normally disqualifying for entry into the United States, the American people deserve answers to the serious questions raised by the evidence,” he wrote in a Twitter post. “Did DHS in fact look the other way, play favorites, or fail to appropriately respond to any potential false statements by Prince Harry?”

CNN has asked a representative for Prince Harry for comment.

Harry most recently confessed to taking various recreational party drugs in his explosive memoir “Spare,” which was published in January.

The Duke of Sussex admitted to having taken cocaine, smoked marijuana and tried magic mushrooms. Harry, who moved to California with Meghan in 2020, has opened up about his experiences with cocaine as a teenager.

“Of course. I had been doing cocaine around this time. At someone’s country house, during a shooting weekend, I’d been offered a line, and I’d done a few more since,” Harry revealed.

“It wasn’t much fun, and it didn’t make me particularly happy, as it seemed to make everyone around me, but it did make me feel different, and that was the main goal.”

Harry described himself as a “deeply unhappy seventeen-year-old boy willing to try almost anything that would alter the status quo.”

Elsewhere in the autobiography, the fifth in line to the throne discussed graduating from smoking tobacco to weed during his days at Eton College, as well as revealing that he tried magic mushrooms during a trip to the United States.

Harry said he briefly stayed at actor Courteney Cox’s house where “we spotted a huge box of black diamond mushroom chocolates” and he and a friend ate several and “washed them down with tequila.”

Prince Harry’s autobiography was not the first time the royal had touched upon his recreational drug use when he was younger.

He previously spoke with Oprah Winfrey of how he abused drugs and alcohol in his late 20s and early 30s as a coping mechanism for the pressures of royal life.

“I was willing to drink, I was willing to take drugs,” he said. “I was willing to try and do the things that made me feel less like I was feeling.”

I thought you meant Trump!

God Damn it.

Well... If it were a choice between the two, I would rather keep Ginge.

That would raise the possibility that he was also taking drugs whilst he was undergoing training at RMAS and wherever he did his flying training.

Did he have a "Granny's Pass" or were the directing staff so oblivious to the fact that they could not see/smell the evidence ...and they let him loose on an Apache??

I think that you are correct 4m.

There's a programme on the UK's Channel 5 tonight entitled 'Harry & Meghan: is America Turning Against Them?

I shan't be watching, because the current style of these programmes - a string of talking heads who know little or nothing about what they are discussing - just annoys me. However, I can't imagine that such a programme would even have been thought of six months ago.

Will Harry be asked by barrister Andrew Green KC about his drug use next week in Court? Counsel has already raised the matter in earlier proceedings. Sworn to tell the truth and having admitted it in his book, he can hardly deny it. And then a few days later, he re-enters the USA. I am sure that officials he meets will have been instructed not to ask him, but I long for some obstreperous official to do his job and refuse entry.
Stupid Harry.

There must be many people 'guilty' of using drugs.
Are they all banned from entering the USA?

Why Are People Denied Entry to the US?

I think a conviction is required? As far as I know, Harry has only been sentenced by Meghan....

Probably banned from smoking and snorting at home so he does it in his hotel room.

Do you actually think that a (very minor) US TV Starlet would not partake of same? I get the impression that 'everyone' does it.
