Off Topic The Politics Thread

One guinea.

 

that was in the us for ****s sake

 

To be shocked about contracts for friends in another country, whilst accepting the same in your own country really should be posted on the mental health thread!

 

Genuine question, why is there so much hatred for Megan Markle? I don't get it or at the least I've missed something.

 

Point missed.
I'm saying all politicians are the same, whether they're Tories, Labour, Republican or Democrat, they're all self serving twats.

 

When did I do that?

 

Classic shy Tory justification.

 

Royals innit. People get weird. I’d give more detail but I need to polish my Golden Jubilee crockery set.

Also it’s just something else to talk about. Look over there. Look!

 

Oh, whatever you pillock.

 

Because she's a troublemaker and a disgusting hypocrite. She sees money and possibly political advantage in selling the Royal Family's confidences, the latest being in the interview with Oprah. Harry's too thick to see what's happening. Netflix too will want more from this couple for their £190 million deal than just Meghan reshashing her Suits role. They're after dirt on the Royal Family.

I'm not an out and out Royalist, but the behaviour from this snakelike couple towards Harry's family is eyewateringly low. I hope they lose their Sussex title.

 

Still like her. Think she's a lovely woman

 

Does feel like there are far worse people who get a far easier ride but it must sell papers to the sort of people who get upset by it.

 

So just to be clear, she hasn't yet sold out the royal family yet and we are in the territory of we think she is about to sell out the royal family?

 

She falls out with everyone in her life. First husband, father, all her aides. Apparently there was no one from her youth at her wedding apart from her mother, and no family member but her mother. She's ruthless and cuts people out of her life if they are no help to her reaching her ambitions. Lovely

 

What do you think she will talk about with Oprah? Knitting? Suits?

She's already caused big trouble for Harry's family by the way she and Harry cut themselves off. Not the doing of it, but the way it was done

 

I was just interested in whether it was done yet or not. She might be going onto Oprah to speak about her own life, certainly possible to do an interview and just give no comments to any question about the royal family.

They have cut themselves off from the royal family and obviously something went very wrong there. What was wrong with the way it was done? My recollection of the events were that:

They said they didn't want to do any royal duties
something about them feeling they were mistreated by the media
told they queen they were moving out
repaid monies for whatever place they were living in
****ed off to canada.

Maybe i'm being too simplistic about it but what in the manner was wrong with that apart from it breaking royal tradition as not many royals say that don't want to be following the tradition and sponging off the tax payer?

 

I don't care enough to get into a debate about an ex-celebrity ex-Royal now celebrity....but surely everyone's* favourite all time royal has to be Edward I? Crushed the Welsh, hammered the Scots - what's not to love?

*Our resident Scot perhaps an honourable exception.

 

this has a bit more substance behind it. I can go with this

 

Sounds like you really know her mate

 

She sounds like an ideal PM from that description.
