’Multiple near collisions’ ‘Could have been fatal’… Yeah but it wasn’t thought was it?! Surely there’s more important news stories to take up all the news channels with! Right?

Anybody who's been to the island of manhattan will know that the awful traffic day and night there makes this story utter bullshit. 2 two hour high speed car chase around gridlocked streets. Ok then. Unfortunately lots are taken in by this bullshit. As is evidenced on this very thread

Only on this thread they deleted it because you found it offensive and I talk to my friends and family about it all the time. The monarchy and all gets spoken about and what it means.

Actually I didn’t even see it someone PMd me.

I didn’t report it either.

MNHQ removed it because YOU broke talk guidelines.

Well clearly your the paragon for the politically correct if you don’t find it offensive it mustn’t be 🙄

Are you going to apologise for calling me white?

Humanbiology · 18/05/2023 12:53

One of the posters posted she had reported it.

Eckyftang · 18/05/2023 12:58

"Are you going to apologise for calling me white?"

Doubtful as the that poster only seems to have deflect, project, and obfuscate as their debating arsenal.

Humanbiology · 18/05/2023 13:00

I am sorry for calling you white and you know why I brought it up is because when my family came over in the 50's they had to carve out a life for themselves or otherwise they would have been fucked. What was the Brexit vote all about they want to go back to poverty because they want their country back.

pilates · 18/05/2023 13:15

@Humanbiology I acknowledge it would have been tough for your family coming over in the 50’s but that doesn’t give you the right to insult people you don’t even know. Thankfully, life has changed but you can’t keep using that as a stick to beat innocent people with. It’s like saying you don’t like Germans for the atrocities that happened in the war. That is also part of history that will not be forgotten.

You have not been in a NYC cab!

I have.

and you have to wear a seat belt.

it’s been the law since 2020

NotLovingWFH · 18/05/2023 16:37

If it’s true it’s not great but I don’t imagine that it was anywhere near as dramatic as it’s been made to seem and why make it out to be a life and death situation. If they’d pulled over and gone for a coffee they would have had a few pics taken and no drama. Why run in the first place, it was cameras not guns.

TrashyPanda · 18/05/2023 17:22

It’s an over exaggerated storm in a tea cup.

the claims aren’t backed up by the facts.

a badly judged piece of PR that made them look foolish and their security inept.

and why on earth were none of them wearing seatbelts?

Howsimplywonderful · 18/05/2023 19:03

Their new agency (shared by Kardasians) is obviously going for drama. they’ve also hired the Kardasian’s security.

The New York news reports seem at odds with their ‘catastrophic drama’,

CouldIHaveThatInEnglishPlease · 18/05/2023 19:14

“Catastrophic car chase” reminds me of the African tour “there was a fire in Archie’s room” revelation which simply turned out to be - we smelt a bit of smoke coming from the heater so turned it off and unplugged it.

I wouldn’t want to call them liars, because every story they tell does have a grain of truth to it, but it is so incredibly blown out of proportion and exaggerated beyond belief that it just turns them into a laughing stock.

I wish them the best, I hope they have a happy, successful life, but I do think they need to step away from the limelight because it really doesn’t seem very healthy for either of them.

Howsimplywonderful · 18/05/2023 19:25

They are an incredibly self-absorbed couple.

This ‘drama’ reminds me of the Meghan ‘I’m trapped in the palace’ drama told on the Oprah interview when her passport was taken away and she only managed 13 private trips 😀

YoucancallmeKAREN · 18/05/2023 19:43

The New York Post has dubbed them the Duke and Duchess of Hazard😂

I did like ‘the queen of people’s Hertz’

Or when she literally wasn’t allowed to leave for 3 months.

Must have been her twin turning up to all those engagements and holidays.

It’s likes when my children exaggaerate

“Mum there’s a snake in my room!!”

Its a thread from your sock

Nobody at Palace HQ seems in the least bit concerned.
Probably because it's a load of bob

Duke & Duchess of Hazard 🤣 they just keep on giving

LindorDoubleChoc · 18/05/2023 20:42

I have an opinion on H&M because they are in the news and therefore in the public consciousness. I am not obsessed or worked up or weird in any way. I am able to temper my feelings and weigh up what I read in the press. I know full well from personal experience that not everything you read in the press is true. At the same time not everything you read from paid PRs is true. I think the idea that unless you are silent you are an arsehole is tiresome in the extreme.

The Palace never comment on non-events anyway.

Maybe. But being silent can hide what an arsehole you are.

Howsimplywonderful · 18/05/2023 20:53

Better to be silent and thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt

FloofCloud · 18/05/2023 20:56

They lie all the time, rat out people, turn the attention on them in a shining/woe is me way. No one surely believes their rubbish

Yeah...we're well past that point. 😕
