Haven’t the courts got anything better to do?
WITH the outcome of the Wagatha case involving Colleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy, one must ask whether courts have better cases to be tried than two football WAGS handbanging each other over social media on who said that and who said this.
Like the circus concerning Johnny Depp and Amber Heard and their matrimonial problems.
How many more serious crimes have been committed involving murder, rape, violent assaults and abuse? Yet this is all we see spread across national newspapers and glossy magazines.
With Vardy, Rooney, Depp and Heard, I suspect they need to get their faces splashed across all formats of media to keep themselves in the public eye, or acquire millions in compensation and sell their stories of victories or being the victim at the same time upgrading their profile for future work.
I have to say that is one of the main reasons I do not entertain any national newspapers or TV channels and much prefer to seek my entertainment from my hobbies and pastimes and any relevant or important news from this newspaper.
The Covid pandemic affected nearly everyone in the United Kingdom in some way or another, losing family, friends or associates, myself included, but the Government and NHS were dealing with something they have never experienced, and errors or wrong decisions were inevitable, but one has to ask whether the media has made certain people greater than others to fill the newspapers and programmes.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but it does not deal with the situations at the time. We could sue the Government for every error, along with previous governments over the weapons of mass destruction, but at the end of the day, it’s not Government money but taxes being paid out as compensation, the same as when the BBC has to pay out compensation – it’s our TV licence fee which cover such costs, of which one must ask whether any heads with roll after the “Nanny Gate” case.
