| Posted: 30 Mar 2021 02:12 PM PDT  Mr Wootton has claimed in his Daily Mail column that "Harry and Meghan like to suggest they support new voices in the media and public life, but in fact they're typical of the establishment and the elite". He claims that it will not be long before "hardworking folk" realise this. Mr Wootton said: "My belief is that the more people hear from the likes of Harry and Meghan, and allies including Gayle King and Owen Jones, the more honest and hardworking folk realise they're talking privileged nonsense." He added: "The type of privileged nonsense that allows them to take private jet flights to destinations around the world while telling us mere mortals to stop going on holiday once a year with our family to cut our carbon emissions." He then claimed that the couple are "using connections that come with Harry's royal blood and Meghan's telly fame, including ITV big wigs via their news presenter BFF Tom Bradby, to scare critics into silence." Mr Wootton said he was under pressure from ITV to be more "glowing" about his royal reporting on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Writing in his column in the Daily Mail he said: "There would be hushed conversations with executives outside the ITV studio at Television Centre that always started with something like: 'Dan, we're under a lot of pressure.

He said: "If you're Meghan McCain on The View in the US or Jane Moore on Loose Women in the UK, it's going to become increasingly difficult, and professionally risky, to express any view that doesn't fit with the narrative of the liberal elite." He added: "Jane, a friend of mine without a racist bone in her body, was accused of 'being OK with casual racism' by her Loose Women co-presenter Charlene White. "This was for criticising the vagueness of Meghan's damning allegations about racist language speculating on the skin colour of her unborn baby by a member of the Royal Family." Mr Wootton then targeted Meghan Markle's friend, Omid Scobie. He said: "And the couple's hagiographer Omid Scobie, who is drip-fed press releases that he passes off as news, even had the cheek to do down one of our great biographers Tom Bower, whose books on everyone from Boris Johnson to Simon Cowell are essential historically, because of the colour of his skin." Mr Wootton, the journalist at the centre of Hollywood star Jonny Depp's defamation case last year, has left his role at The Sun. He has taken up a new role at GB News and the Mail Online. |
| Posted: 29 Mar 2021 05:00 PM PDT  As the UK officially left the EU back in January, Brexit put an end to the free movement of persons between the bloc and Britain. Britons living in an EU member state before January 1 were able to reside there under the Withdrawal Agreement. Hundreds of unregistered British citizens in Spain could be hit by new EU rules limiting visa-free visits to just six months. However, reports Spain was planning a mass deportation of unregistered Britons were squashed by the Spanish interior ministry. He said: "Following the UK's departure from the European Union, and in accordance with the Brexit agreement with EU countries and international conventions, British citizens are subject to the same rules as citizens of other third-party countries. "Like any other third-country citizens, the maximum period they can stay in Spain is three months - unless they have a work, study or another kind of visa that allows them to stay longer." This comes after a small exodus began last week as expats - including some whose applications for residency have been rejected - started to head back to Britain to beat Wednesday's deadline. Sue Wilson, the chair of Bremain in Spain, a group campaigning for the rights of British migrants living in Spain, claimed people face a 90-day deadline to leave the country. She said: "These are people who have been flying under the radar for a long time when they should have registered their residence in the country and didn't for whatever reason. "If they are unable to prove they were resident before December 31 and get entitlement to remain in Spain, they now face a 90-day deadline to leave the country.

"For them, it is crunch time." Michele Euesden, the Marbella-based managing director of the Euro Weekly newspaper, added: "Some people are frightened of the consequences if they overstay and are afraid if there is another lockdown they won't be able to leave and come back again and visit because they will be known to the authorities." One Brexit voter, Shaun Cromber, said he did not believe Brexit would end his Spanish lifestyle. He said: "Yes I voted out, but I didn't realise it would come to this. "My application has been rejected and we are on our way home – my wife is in tears, she's distraught if I'm honest and I'm not too happy at the prospect of returning back to the UK. "I've loved living on the Costa del Sol and after five years can't believe it has come to this. "We applied but got rejected and so have no choice, although long term I think the Spanish will regret chucking us out of Spain." Spanish government guidelines state: "Stays in Spain cannot exceed 90 days in an 180-day period, whether in a single visit or various visits. "Britons need to use their passports for identification purposes and will be exempt from visas." |
