They won’t remind us, but the tabloids hurt Diana just as much as Panorama did, a superb piece by Marina Hyde in last Friday's Guardian which highlights the hypocrisyfest currently swamping the media about Bashir and the BBC. The Beeb (of course) gets it in the neck, even though Diana wanted the interview, said similar things in other interviews and had been humiliated by Charles admitting his unfaithfulness to a Dimbleby in an interview. And the hypocrisy, then and now, of the tabloids is just staggering. And Piers Morgan and Kelvin McKenzie (!) excoriating the BBC. Journalists who lied and lied and hacked little girls' phones...You couldn't make it up (though they did, all the time). Johnson expressing concern about the duplicitous Beeb when he is one of the most duplicitous people on the planet...Prince William, shooting his mouth off about things he simply doesn't get. Unqualified people here, there and everywhere (including him) spouting about Diana's mental health and "paranoia". Her stupid brother trying to make a direct link between the interview and the car crash that killed her during her jolly in Paris with Dodi two years later...And the great British public, buying those bloody papers and provoking more and more royal digging, the tabloids' non-stop feeding frenzy on the royals, who simply love the attention anyway...
