As I understand the situation, that assessment is correct. It has allowed the London left to pivot to crime with the ‘evil males’ and ‘evil cops’ wedge.
That’s not to say that I don’t appreciate the relative frailty that women feel on city streets, just that the crime problem in London isn’t even remotely localised to crime against white women, it is an enormously outsized problem in the London black community.
This whole brouhahah with Harry/Markle/Oprah/PiersMorgan/royal family is hilarious. I ignore all things royal but a buddy of mine “forced” me to check it out.
Summation: the ultra privileged is upset because they’re not mega, mega ultra privileged; the whole social media crowd is in a race to see who can cancel who first before the music stops, and normal people are simply out of fucks given.
This describes me almost perfectly lol
For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone gives a shit about the royal family. But I realize I’m in the minority here as lots of the world cares.
I admire the Queen quite a bit. Not because she’s the Queen but because she seems like the best possible person you could imagine to fall into the circumstances she found herself in through no choice of her own. She has lived a remarkable life and left what I think is a very positive mark on the world.
The rest of that lot can fuck right off as far as I’m concerned.
Meghan Markle is hot. I got tired of Suits by the start of season 2 but continued watching because of her.
She also owns all the unmarked swans in the UK. Imagine her unleashing an army of bear sized swans on all of us.
Personally, I find Kate 100x hotter.
Same here. However, it’s worth pointing out the key elements of postmodernism at play here - Meghan invented a story tailored to an American audience, expertly produced, loaded with all zeitgeist elements (racism, white privilege, you name it) you can think of, and designed to elicit an emotional response from younger viewers.
What neither the Queen nor Piers Morgan (who got fired over this) do not seem to understand that almost no one is interested in the actual truth, namely that it is a spat between a group of rich assholes over money.
The Harry and Meghan’s “truth” is simply more interesting (and more attractive) to the average viewer.
It’s mostly the New York press who are taking the exile prince and his wife seriously. Oh no, she had to google the national anthem and Archie isn’t getting called a prince! It’s almost like an American didn’t fully grasp the job or the law surrounding it.
I’m a constitutional monarchist, so I’ve got the Boss’ back here, at least till we can return the true line to the throne, that is.
Correct. The whole tale is aimed at a specific type of American audience, from the alleged racism to the ‘Diana inspired outfits,’ it’s all designed to confirm US prejudices about the royal family. The sob story doesn’t stick the landing in the U.K.
Personally, I don’t believe a word of it, but I’m not the one that the couple are trying to shake the empty money bag at.
I lost precious minutes from my life, and a few brain cells, watching Piers argue with some pos sjw type who would not even allow that Markle had no clue about the no prince for Archie thing.
Does anyone over there realize that Archie is an (old) iconic comic book character who has red hair? Heh.
I know it’s a tabloid story, but there is no way in genetics that Prince Charles is Harry’s father. How prevalent is that belief?
I do at least.
It’s been an inside joke among Brits for decades at this point.
Imagine putting yourself through such pain. It’s a loss for you, no matter which imbecile wins the confrontation.
I don’t even watch the news. But the Piers’ firing thing, combined with the Royal spectacle, was supposedly such a BIG deal, I decided to lift the box lid to see if reality was there or not.
…lid back on.
A wise choice. Best to avoid the Sussex’s in future. It’s easily done. I rather wish they’d stop poking the bear and let us all get on with the business of giving them the privacy they claim to want, and we all deserve.
Meghan has better dress sense.
Luckily the US military has its eyes focused on the necessary things to win such a war: inclusion, diversity, and equality.
Such words strike fear into the hearts of Americas enemies…as they are all deeply afraid of laughing themselves to death.
Apparently, pregnant women make the Marine Corp stronger or some such bullshit.
It’s a military division the Chinese will never expect.
Edit: No one expects the pregnant MEF division.
