Interview with Prince Harry & Megan Markle Suicidal Thoughts.
As most of you have already seen, heard and read Oprah Winfrey had an interview with Prince Harry and Megan Markle, so I won’t bore you with what he said she said, I just want to address a couple of things that were said by Piers Morgan in the afermath of the airing of the interview last night.
First of all anyone that has suicidal thoughts regardless if they are a celebrity, royalty or the guy or girl on the street should not be mocked or scutinised. They should be given the support they need regardless of social status and certainly should not ridiculed on television.
Mental Health is not a thing you can switch off and on when you please. Mental Health can sometimes linger for years without the right support, therapy and medication. The onset of a traumatic event can cause a person to have suicidal thoughts and simply critising someone and making them into a mcockery can actually do more harm than good.
For Piers Morgan to MOCK Megan it just tells me he is a pompous pretentious full of himself narcissistic bully.
No one in their right mind would ever admit to having suicidal thoughts publically unless they actually did experience it for the fear of being scrutinised even further, which in turn causes a viscious cycle and ones mental health continues to go down a downward spiral.
For Piers to mock Megan and accuse both Prince Harry and Megan of having some sort of vendetta on the whole of the Royal Family as Racist is utterly ridiculous and I quote “Megan Markle called the Royal Family a Racist Institution” according to Piers. Not once did Megan ever say that. That is why we have bad press because the opinion of one journalist can be misconstrude.
Furthermore Megan and Harry were not divuldging the name of one individual, that does not mean that they were saying anything bad about the Royal Family, they were just being tactful. Does it really matter who insinuated about the ‘colour of the skin’ of the unborn child, at the end of the day no one is going to admit to being racist even though they may think that way.
Will it be in public’s interest to know the name of the person, personally speaking I do not think so. So for Piers to demand to know the name of the person is wrong and Megan and Harry should not be put in that position.
Besides and this is a general question why does it matter what colour of someone’s skin may or may not look like?
Whoever asked that question is racist, there is no doubt in my mind.
Anyone asking the question would been deemed as discriminating or racist, regardless of who was asking the question Royal or not.
In fact listening to the interview Megan and Harry did not say anything derogatory about the Royal Family. All they said was that they did not get the support they needed or the security and Prince Harry was financially cut off and Prince Charles at one stage was not accepting Prince Harry’s calls.
I have shared the ‘Good Morning Britain’ episode and how Piers Morgan sunk his teeth into the interview and basically mocked Megan Markle and called her a ‘ruthless social climber’. How is trying to survive deemed as ruthless?
Also with any church wedding their is also a registrar signing, if both Harry & Megan decided not to have that televised, which Piers has made a mountain out of a mole hill, why is that such a shocker, some things need to be private and sentimental and not everything needs to be public?
Finally it is no ones business who should be invited to a wedding and Piers had no right to call out Oprah Winfrey for attending, I am sure there were many more guests that attended that Megan and Harry may or may not have met more than once.
Piers said no one attented the wedding on Megan’s side of the family, if you remember Megan’s mother attended the wedding and her father was in hosipital.
As for Trisha Goddard I cannot fault her for calling Piers a “Bully Piers” and he woud be the star of the show. The reason I do not watch ‘Good Morning Britain’ as I do not want to contribute towards Piers Morgan pay cheque. As long as he is on the show I will not watch it. The clip I embedded was off ‘Youtube’ and is circling on ‘Facebook’, but actively I will never watch the show as long he is on there.
Whatever happens behind closed doors should stay behind closed doors and if the couple wanted to share their side of the story, all I can say there two sides to every story and someone in the palace needs to speak up and say theirs.
At the end of the day we may never know what actually happened and it is unfortunate that it has come to this and caused a media frenzy.
I wish both Prince Harry & Megan and their children a way to mend and heal and build bridges with their extended family. I wish them a future where they will be happy and will be successful whatever path they choose and get the support they need.
At the end of the day “todays news will be old news tomorrow” and rekindling family bonds are most important.
“I wish for a happy ending and everyone can play happy families again”.
When we think of Mayfair we envisage an upmarket afluent district in the West End of London with Luxury Real Estate Georgian Townhouses, Exclusive Hotels, and Gourmet Restaurants. With world-famous retailers on the doorstep, including bespoke tailors on Savile Row and designer fashions such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton and on Bond Street boasting high end diamond jewellers, such as De-beers, Aspreys, Tiffanys & Co, Graffs to name a few. Shoppers can also head to high-end Burlington Arcade and Shepherd Market, a cluster of independent boutiques and traditional pubs. Mayfair is a world tourist attraction offering modern art galleries that line Cork Street. Mayfair is classed as one the highest class famous districts in London and also world renowed.
The history of the area was originally part of the manor of Eia and remained largely rural until the early 18th century. An annual “May Fair” that took place from 1686 to 1764 in what is now Shepherd Market made Mayfair attraction. However in later years that followed, the fair became increasingly downmarket and unpleasant, and it became a public nuisance.
Towards the end of the 18th century, most of Mayfair was surrounded by luxury housing. Even after the decline of the British aristocracy in the early 20th century led to the area becoming more commercialised, with many houses converted into offices for corporate headquarters and various embassies.
Mayfair retains its high-end residential property, upmarket shops and restaurants, and luxury hotels along Piccadilly and Park Lane. Its prestigious status has been commemorated by being the most expensive property square on the London Monopoly board.
Knowing the background of Mayfair and having the opportunity to acquire a prestigious name, the possibilities are endless of what you could do with this domain name. Imagine being in control of all the luxury real estate, hospitality, retail and tourism sectors in Mayfair. Imagine being the owner of the only real estate domain in the world that people would spend millions.
Simply offering advertising space on this domain name based on the advertising structure of www.ukbusinessbanking.co.uk all it takes is just over 300 businesses to make £1m turnover, imagine all the businesses, hotels, restaurants and retailers that would be jumping at the chance to be featured on a website named www.mayfair.com
The lucky owner could turn the site into a directory similar to www.hotels.com
Having a directory similar to www.ukbusinessbanking.co.uk you could potenially control the monopoly board.
Final Notes.
The domain does have a reserve price and I am working with another broker (Michael Dooner) to try and find a buyer.

Today and it was my fault for latching on to a post on Facebook about an appeal by South Wales Police about laser pointers, and I received some backlash for merely trying to clear up some confusion in my mind.
My mistake was I commented on someone’s shared post and got hate for it. It was no different from what I have said below although I have further elaborated on my statement.
The link is also here:Facebook SWPC Article.Obviously, the people or persons that pointed the laser should be punished under the terrorism act.
The reason why I latched on was that I could not believe that a simple pocket laser could cause harm or injure a pilot airborne or crew member when the culprit was on the ground, according to the original post an on-board critical care practitioner suffered blurred vision, and migraine, and had to go off-duty (This implies the injury was serious). Obviously, I was naive about laser pointers and have since learned a thing or two.
The incident happened on Sunday 28th February 2021 at 9.30 pm over Heath Roath Park and Roath Recreation Ground in Cardiff UK. The laser was directed at a Wales Air Ambulance causing injuries to a crew member.
This is what a laser pointer looks like from the groundaccording to the blogger of this paper link below:
I obviously did some research and fact-checking and all I got was negative people trolling me, with one stating that my shared links were belittling the crime and that what I was sharing weretheoretical papers, even going as far as insinuating I had some ulterior motive to make the comment. (I do not take kindly to accusations), the said person (mentioning no names) even demanded I explain myself.
Also, it was unclear how come the pilot was not mentioned. unless the person was a paramedic and pilot.
When writing articles one should be clear about the content so as to not confuse the reader. One should not write one line and hope the reader will second guess the rest.
The only reason for the Facebook Comment if I am brutally honest was to establish facts and clear up any confusion, first of all, there was no mention of how far the helicopter was off the ground at the time of the incident?… so my question was how did the laser pointer affect a paramedics vision? Was the helicopter landing or taking off or in mid-air?
Good Journalism should not cause confusion.
A laser pointer can be a distraction for helicopter pilots that wear night vision goggles or airplanes that want to land, the same applies to military aircraft at night.
MOST IMPORTANTLY!
The most important part wasI was not condoning this in any way and all perpetrators should be punished to fit the crime. I was merely pointing out that there would be no adverse physical effects from this according to theFact Checking‘ I had made from two verified sources the BJO & BBC, links below:
I can see how serious pointing a laser at an aircraft can be to the aviation authority and it can be deemed as an act of terrorismand I certainly do not condone it.
Laser pointers can be distracting to pilots!
It seems to be a craze or fad for idiots to laser aircraft. Perhaps the powers that be should educate people in the masses about STUPIDITY with social awareness and media amplification that pointing lasers at aircraft is wrong on all levels, regardless if it affects a pilot or not. I can see that laser pointers can be distracting and potentially dangerous. https://www.laserpointersafety.com/laser-hazards_aircraft/laser-hazards_aircraft.html
I personally think that laser pointers should be banned from the public and only used and sold to businesses and higher education institutes. I also believe fireworks should also be banned from sale to the public or the public need a license. Fireworks should only be sold to organizations for public events or to people with fireworks licenses.
I am still open-minded about the distance a laser pointer would have had to be to cause any adverse effect to the paramedic, considering in the BJO a laser does not cause headaches, but temporary blindness similar to a flash on a camera going off.
I have since removed myself from the group. I do not know how Facebook groups work but I do not wish to be associated with narrow-minded people.
(Addendum) apparently, if you remove yourself from the group it still does not remove you from the thread, lesson learned, hence I had someone like my comment a few minutes ago.
My daughter gave me some solid advice: “if you do not want to be trolled do not leave comments as people do not like the truth”.
“I never once said that I was defending or condoning the culprits, I on the contrary was fact-checking”.
All I was doing was getting my head around the fact when one verified fact-checked source said one thing and I read something else from anothersource that is confusing and that is when I started to question the credibility of the information.
From what I can gather according to my verified source below, it is virtually impossible to have adverse physical effects from a laser on the ground whilst a pilot is airborne. If anything it can be a distraction when pilots wear nighttime goggles or are landing and may experience flash blindness.
However pointing a laser at an aircraft is an obstruction and should carry the punishment of an act of terrorism (and if it isn’t, it should be).
According to the Civil Aviation Authority in 2016, there were 1,258 incidents of lasers being pointed at aircraft. In the future, those who deliberately target aircraft with lasers could face a jail sentence or hefty fine. Currently, shining lasers at planes has a penalty of up to £2,500.
Pointing a laser pointer at an aircraft is illegal (so don’t do it regardless of what pointer is being used).
Obviously, I reiterate again, pointing a laser at a moving vehicle such as a plane, helicopter, car motorbike, boat, yacht, etc can be deemed as an act of terrorism, it does not matter why a perpetrator has engaged in such an act but more so that they executed their action and this is punishable by law.
For pilots to be affected and injured because of this act, the laser would have to directly be pointed at their eyes, or for they to experience a flash-blind effect.
According to The British Journal of Ophthalmology (BJO)
While many claims have been made for ocular and other injuries, as a result of exposure to laser pointers, none has been sustained. Most victims are unaware of the clinical symptoms that would be appropriate to retinal injury; thus many individuals claim to have seen a bright light followed by pain or irritation in the irradiated eye. Some also complain of redness of the eye and headaches. In reality, there are no pain receptors in the retina and, therefore, threshold laser strike in the visible region of the spectrum is not associated with pain.
I personally think all journalists and media should use the phrase:
“Anyone caught using a laser pointer publicallyfor illegal purposes will be arrested and punished under the terrorism act”, which adds MORE CLOUT than a minimum sentence of 5 years, going as far as spreadingawareness in bold campaigns that show how dangerous laser pointers can be.
“Good Journalism Does Not Cause Confusion”.
It does not take much effort to log details of who the device was sold to, making verification ID mandatory in the UK. However, to stop people from buying them from abroad is another matter and there would have to be an import ban from other countries to the consumer and only legitimate organizations that were licensed would have access.
BJO states and I quote “that in conclusion, laser pointers, pens, or key rings if used appropriately are not an eye hazard, and even if used inappropriately will not cause permanent eye damage”.
FINAL THOUGHTS.
“It is sad that in this day and age with an array of social media platforms, we are censored for the things we write. I am all for censorship if it promotes hate crime or worse. But when it comes to merely expressing an opinion or asking a question we should not be scrutinized. There is little room for freedom of speech anymore and we cannot ask questions as people will question our motives and get defensive. I believe if people have questions they should be able to express them without the fear of someone trolling themand without the fear of being censored or punished”.
Pointing any laser device to a moving vehicle eg: (planes, trains, cars, motor bikes, boats) or directly at someone to purposely maim including eyes and body, for the purpose to cause destruction and accidents, the perpetrators should be punished to fit the crime.
According to this article distances of up to 1200 feet can engulf a cockpit. It remains a distraction hazard all the way up to 12,000 feet.
The point is:
The maximum altitude that a helicopter can be reached during forward flight typically depends more on the ability of the engine. Helicopters can reach around 25,000 feet. But the maximum height at which a helicopter can hover is much lower – a high-performance helicopter like the Agusta A109E can hover at 10,400 feet. However, if the helicopter remains in ‘ground effect’ – ie, if it is hovering close to high ground – its maximum hover altitude will be higher. The Agusta can hover in ground effect – ‘HIGE’ in helicopter jargon – at 13,800 feet. This is useful for mountain rescue missions.
I would also like to add I am a law-abiding citizen and if I was to catch anyone pointing lasers for illegal purposes, other than for the purpose of business, education, or pet entertainment, I would report them to the authorities without question.
