I’m appalled that at the end of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence

promoting violence against Meghan Markle. It simplest proved every point she has made in her documentary.

Dr Shola absolutely did the right thing. As someone who has their name mispronounced all the time it gets really annoying. There’s nothing wrong with correcting people, especially when they persist in getting it wrong and find it funny.

This is a great read. I quit working for a magazine in 2018 because the publisher was a complete monster - that along with the death of father did some real damage to my mental health. Sometimes quitting is great.
In 2017 I quit a job that destroyed my mental health. It's one of the best decisions I ever made. I spoke to Prince Harry about his work as Chief Impact Officer at

You’re a disgrace Nick. As well as not very smart.
There are 2 things wrong with Megan Markle & neither are to do with her skin colour - she is white.
She is a foreigner who does not understand our culture, and a divorcee which means she is difficult or a poor judge of character.
Neither is a good fit with our Royal Family.
