Haven't seen the OP around, thread 1 is about to run out and someone asked for a new thread.

The Queen caught on mike complaining about those who don't "do" on climate change, whilst happily availing herself of get outs so she doesn't have to do either!

Yes, it was ironic wasn't it....

Goodness! If Harry or Meghan had said the same then there'd be 10 comment pieces in the Mail by now and Piers Morgan's indignation would've given him a stroke!!

Here is an interesting article re examples of what the Royals could do if they were serious about leading on climate change: www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/13/royal-family-rewilding-cop26-environment
According to this btw the royals own 1.4% of the country. Think what they could do to show leadership if they were serious about the environment to the extent of being prepared to make personal sacrifices. (The amount they own is obscene imo....but that is another story).

But they would rather stick to lecturing the rest of us. And the Queen has the gall to criticise others as those who don't 'do'. Frankly, the hypocrisy of it all is nauseating.

That's a shocking article. Literally scorched earth grouse moor 'management' for the furtherment of blood sports is an environmental disgrace.

I'm quite intrigued by the notion that bison could theoretically roam the queen's estates but I don't rate their chances if they do...

@Livingtothefull Yes so agreed.

I just think that the RF should make some bold statements. They never do

Well... times they are a'changing (in the words of Bob Dylan)

It's almost as if they're trying to see just how much offensive behaviour they can get away with - the Queen included

Next time, perhaps she could consider her own family's carbon foorprint instead of prating about others ...
