Why should Sarah Vine have privacy when she made it her business to deny it to others?
Poor Sarah Vine! After marrying the odious Michael Gove and spending years enjoying the Tory limelight, now that she and he are splitting, she wants to be left alone!
Normally, This Writer might be inclined to support such a request. After all, I said Boris Johnson’s wedding to… whatsername… shouldn’t get huge media coverage because it was only the wedding of a public servant to his long-term fiancee, and that sort of thing happens all the time. A divorce should get similar treatment.
However:

And this:
There’s the hypocrisy we see here:
And finally, there’s the very ugly hypocrisy of this:
Given the way Vine has pursued public figures – my understanding is that Meghan is only the latest and highest-visibility in a series – and has tried to influence public opinion about them, it would be unfair to allow her the kind of relief she denied to them.
To me, it seems only fair that even the slightest details of her divorce are entirely appropriate for discussion on every possible public forum.
Doesn’t it seem that way to you?

Ah yes. Now that you put it that way. Hoist her by her own petard! Hoist away!!
What a vile woman she is. Off the scale hypocrisy wise. I remember sitting behind someone reading that headline ‘We Brits prefer…’ and being quite shocked (knowing the Daily Mail why I was shocked I don’t know, perhaps as it was so bold on the front page). I am however quite surprised they are divorcing, they appear to me to be an absolute match made in heaven!
