Prince Harry

[Louis MacNeice]

I feel a little sorry for these people. You can have all the money in the world and your family are still a bunch of self-serving backstabbers, out only to make themselves look good. You would do these people a favor by ending the monarchy and letting them fade into obscurity.

I think if you have all the money in the world your family might well be more likely to be a bunch of self serving backstabbers.

Of course being poor doesn't preclude you form being just such a self serving backstabber.

Cheers - Louis MacNeice

If that's what you need, be happy that your wish has been granted.

I expect that at least one of you was being sarcastic.

Watched the first two episodes last night. Take aways are 1. Harry has escaped the empty, soulless and vacuous privilege bubble of the Royal Family where everything is directed by the media by joining the empty, soulless and vacuous California celeb privilege bubble where everything is directed by the media.

This, massively. They have made their base, and therefore inherited (a very specific) culture from Southern California, which is pretty much Jerusalem of the wokerati/hyper-progressive cultures. It's not an atmosphere that sets you up for any compromise or dialogue (not that they necessarily should IMO) with the gammon dickheads that despise them. As a setup for permanent conflict tho, it's perfect.

I'm the youngest of 2 boys and slightly ginger in the right light (and a bit of a black sheep relative to my bro)...So Harry and I are practically related. And I was a huge suits fan before all this blew up, so I still see people underestimate Meghan not knowing what a great paralegal she was at Pearson Spector Hartman (no easy environment to excel in) before she became 'M'. (Urgh, the H and M thing is a great example of the nice little reminders that they are still a pair of wallys, and not immune from being annoying as fuck)

Bit surprised no-one has made mention of this yet. Clarkson keeping it classy. In spite of myself, I used to find him amusing on Top gear but this is the absolute pits. Shame on the Scum for thinking it was ok to publish it too:

Had exactly the desired effect I would think.

Being discussed on the Clarkson thread, teqniq.

Thick old racist cunt excels himself...

Dear Jezza. Meghan Markle is worse than Rose West. Super. How? What has she done? None of you frothing gammon twats seem to be able to tell us what exactly she has done that is so awful. Similar as to why you can’t explain what is so terrible about ‘woke’, which seems to leave you so appoplectic…

Has Jeremy Vine tweeted about it yet?

Tell the Government to take press misogyny seriously

Under IPSO, the press can (and are) getting away with almost anything.

They claimed it happened in their Oprah interview.



Well...to be fair...what did she actually do that was wrong?
Married a prince?
Expected to be treated with dignity?
Maybe she forgot to shut up put up and walk on eggshells three steps behind the rest of the family.

Or maybe ahe waved too much? Or smiled and hugged too many people? Or actually voiced an opinion or thought that has not been passed by some royal official ?

I think she's done the right thing in prioritising her own mental health and the safety of her family. She got out of there and away from what was clearly toxic shit.

Except she hasn't, has she?

I thought they had decided to go to the US and live their lives privately? They certainly haven't done that.

 

[weltweit]

Clarkson is a dick, I honestly can't imagine why he is parroting the Morgan line.

Personally Megan has such a minor impression on my world, I can't imagine anyone having an opinion one way or another.

 

[Sue]

Clarkson is a dick, I honestly can't imagine why he is parroting the Morgan line.

Could it be that they're both dicks and have similar shit views on women?

 

[weltweit]

I think they may be both just chasing ratings.

I don't think Clarkson hates women, I don't know about Morgan, but Morgan is just a prize idiot anyhow.

Back when Clarkson did Top Gear there were often women on the show, some of whom proved better drivers than Clarkson and he was nothing but full of admiration. I don't think Clarkson is a woman hater. An idiot perhaps but not that.

 

[killer b]

I don't think Clarkson hates women

he just wants to throw excrement at their naked bodies, a pure loving act.

 

[Serge Forward]

This is the same guy who said he would like to see striking workers killed in front of their children. What a card.

 

[danny la rouge]

I don't think Clarkson hates women

You are very wrong.

He’s an old fashioned #lad who plays up the bigotry for the cameras and the columns. Cosplaying the 70s as it were.

He’s not as dim as he acts and he does do quite middle class things like vote remain and drink lattes and enjoys his little luxuries

He doesn’t hate individual women, especially ones who stray into his lane who are good at what they do but he has no time for women who do what he would consider women things that are beneath him and thus does in fact hate women.

Can you imagine if someone with such a following wrote that about you in a massive circulation national newspaper? Personally I'd be fucking terrified.

Numb with shock too, for a while at least. It’s an unbelievable thing to write. We all have people we dislike, but who actually fantasises about such a specific violent/sexualised/scatological ending for them? By comparison, Piers Morgan just seems like a fairly standard sort of pig who has become fixated on someone who rejected him.

 

[strung out]

Clarkson is a cunt, obviously, but I don't think he really fantasised about it. He just remembers the scene in Game of Thrones where a naked Cersei had poo thrown at her while everyone chanted shame and thought it would be a funny line.

 

[Aladdin]

She's away from the toxicity of the royal correspondents and the stifling royal family.

She's been in the public eye most of her working life. She doesnt have to join a silent order ....surely. and she has made a living out of her public work and charity work in the past ...prior to marrying Harry. She is able to decide for herself what she wants to share. There is a difference...

This, and I think he’s making an attempt at dramatic irony by comparing Markle to Cersei Lannister

 

[kabbes]

My French uncle has got wind of this story and is claiming that literally no other country in Europe has a newspaper paper that would publish a columnist saying this kind of thing. Can somebody please furnish me with a counter-example, preferably French? Because I don’t believe for a minute that all EU newspapers are bastions of liberalism.

How is that dramatic irony?

I don't. I think he's just being nasty. Because he can.

But if you call his hateful shit out, he's the real victim

tbf there seems to have been very wide condemnation of his comments.

That’s not hate speech, though, it’s paparazzi. Also a shitheel thing to do, but different to Clarkson.
