More than 2,000 people have planned a community barbecue at the home of an Australian vegan who sued her neighbours for cooking meat.
The woman issued a list of demands that included orders for a family living next door, as well as another neighbour,

- wafting smells such as cigarettes and barbecues caused “undue offence” to her
Don’t let Cilla destroy a good old Aussie tradition, join us for a community BBQ.
Hundreds of people have commented, with Jerry from Michigan even floating the idea of flying over for the barbecue

Duke of Sussex says private jet use essential for his family’s safety: The Duke of Sussex has defended his use of private jets, saying the “unique circumstances” of his family’s safety made it sometimes essential and promising to “balance out the impact that I have”
One trip allegedly saw him fly to Sicily to deliver a barefoot speech about the environment to billionaires and celebrities at Google Camp, and he also took
