Comprehension is not your strong point, evidently.

But they reemployed him AFTER they knew he had forged the documents. So, no, he paid no price whatsoever.
You carry on defending the indefensible.

"Brian McDermott, with a wry smile, nods when asked if he remembers a specific incident which made him realise he was a prick. 'I do', he murmurs."

I've seen straw men in my time but where on earth am I defending anyone ?
People should be held accountable when things go wrong. I fully agree that should apply in all roles. It simply appears you don't.

The fact that Bashir lied to take advantage of a vulnerable woman doesn't concern you at all?
Be honest if it had been Johnson telling those lies and forging documents when he was a journalist would you be so blasé about it? I think not.


Her situation was not brought about by Bashir and whilst not condoning the forging of bank statements, there is absolutely no doubt that she wanted to be heard.
There are some strange parallels between Lady Di's situation and those of Meghan Markle and yet, so many people have pilloried Markle for being in the same extreme situation, albeit, as far as we know, Harry didn't enter his marriage with a mistress.
The Diana situation was caused totally by Charles not wanting to stop his relationship with his now wife, Camilla.
However, the press are utterly silent on this issue, how very, very strange ??

As for journalists using dodgy tactics, of course they do, every day of every week.
I'm sure that you remember the telephone hacking scandal ??

But you are trying to defend him by using copious amounts of whataboutery.

Really ?

I'm not defending his interview at all.
What I dont agree with is the way in which he is being slaughtered almost 25 years after her death and that her former husband, soon to be king ? is allowed off the hook.
Its utterly ridiculous.

Bashir is not the villain here.
