Queen Camilla Has a “Ruthless Streak,” Says One Royals Biographer

Queen Camilla Has a “Ruthless Streak,” Says One Royals Biographer

Published by Sam Flores

Queen Camilla did not attend Eugenie’s wedding and skipped Beatrice’s as well. To emphasize Queen Camilla’s resolute character when it comes to severing ties, Wilson recalled an incident from the years before her marriage to Charles, when Camilla allegedly used a hunting whip to ward off some overly intrusive photographers. “She once famously wielded her hefty hunting whip over the heads of photographers who came too close during her problem days before her marriage to Charles,” he noted. “With Andrew, Fergie, Beatrice and Eugenie in her sights, looks like she’ll be cracking it again.” Tensions between Camilla and the York family actually seem to have roots in the past. Indeed, the queen did not attend Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor in 2018, instead attending an already scheduled engagement at Crathie Primary School, near Balmoral. The choice surprised many royal watchers at the time. Camilla also did not show up at Princess Beatrice’s wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The ceremony, held in a reduced form due to COVID-19 restrictions, included …

Coronation Street reveals first look at “ruthless” newcomer Idris Nazir

Published by Daniella Wilson

A newcomer is set to turn heads and ruffle feathers in Coronation Street next week. Idris Nazir, played by actor Junade Khan, makes his arrival on Tuesday 26 May. The cousin of Alya’s (Sair Khan) late father Kal, he immediately catches the attention of the Weatherfield locals by pulling up onto the cobbles in his flashy car. Speaking of the new arrival, producer Kate Brooks told Radio Times and other media: “He is very, very charming, the charm oozes out of every pore of this guy. He’s a savvy kind of business guy, he’s got a bit of a ruthless streak, he is prepared to get his hands slightly dirty, and he can charm the birds from the trees.” It soon transpires that Alya isn’t the only resident that he knows, having met Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) at a Nazir family gathering over 10 years ago. It doesn’t take long for sparks to fly… “He’s a new love interest for Leanne. The attraction is instantaneous,” Brooks continued. Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) will be a new …

“Let’s Get Ruthless”: Bulwark’s Bill Kristol Suggests Illiberal Means Are Needed To Save Liberal Democracy

“Let’s Get Ruthless”: Bulwark’s Bill Kristol Suggests Illiberal Means Are Needed To Save Liberal Democracy

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Jonathan Turley, “Let’s get ruthless.” Those words are, unfortunately, nothing new in this age of rage. In just the last few weeks, various liberal pundits and politicians have been calling for radical and even violent action. Even comedian Margaret Cho publicly declared this week that “we need a feral, bloodthirsty, violent Democrat.” However, these words were reposted by Bill Kristol, the founder of the Weekly Standard and the current editor-in-chief of The Bulwark. Kristol was a leading conservative figure in the Republican Party. Kristol left the Republican Party and is now a vehemently anti-Trump writer. There are certainly good-faith reasons why some conservatives have broken with Trump on a variety of issues. However, the original column was endorsing the Democratic plan to pack the Supreme Court with an instant liberal majority to force through a slew of political changes in the country. Various Democrats have been pledging to not only impeach Trump (and a long list of other figures), but to pack the Supreme Court as soon as they regain power. James Carville declared, “If the Democrats win the presidency and …
