Samcro - You’re ok. It’s a rubbish situation. Just pick your way through it the best you can. The royals are a distraction for many of us. Thinking of everyone going through an especially tough time right now.

Thanks, i have realised that I haven't played nice.
Its almost like i want to ick a fight for the distraction.
But we are all dealing with bad stuff"..... but some over step and use penguins
I mean really, they are the cutest things ever.
And i am running out of chocolate.
Thanks for being nice.

I’m new to this thread so apologies. I think I’m the one a poster said has made this thread a bashing one.

Let me ask people this - suppose you have a very wealthy cousin who is about to get married. She lives in a mansion and travels first class everywhere. You live in an apartment and don’t even travel, but she wants you to pay for her wedding. She doesn’t necessarily want you to pay for the whole thing; she is requesting a small amount of money from all of her relatives. If you say no or think that it is a ridiculous request, does that make you a bad person? Does it mean that you are not happy for her getting married?

I think they could give up the security and go to live in a semi in Epsom and there would still be threads complaining about them on MN, just like there were every single time Meghan as much as stepped out in public when she was a FTWR! For some people (not all, I hasten to add) the security thing is just an excuse to complain about a woman they've never liked.

Ain't that the truth.
I said it on the countless other threads, there is absolutely nothing MM can do that is right for some.
Every aspect is picked over and criticised.

Personally, I could not be happier they are well out of it. I've said it before but I'll say it again lol... I think there will be a sea change when HMQ isn't around and H&M have been brave to make a move and this will set a trend.

Nobody should crowd on to a thread with the intention of disagreeing with the OP.

This has happened repeatedly on the threads that have been critical of the Sussexes. So I don't think it's a rule. If it is, it's certainly not being consistently observed. MN moderation seems to take the line that anyone can post where they like as long as it doesn't break Talk guidelines.

I agree Scot. If you can't afford to pay for the big wedding , hold a smaller wedding and keep your dignity and be thankful for all the presents, no matter if they are all toasters.

I cannot believe I am reading this. Are people so stupid they cannot see that is EXACTLY what they have been doing on other threads?
The hypocrisy. Ugh

I assumed that was a joke.
Surely it wasn't meant to be serious in view of the sustained campaigns to get other threads shut down?

Well, I can see why in some instances people would like a discussion about certain issues. I think differing opinions about actions, respectfully phrased are healthy. I think you can wish a person all happiness without agreeing with all their actions (happens daily with me and my DCs).

Now, if someone would come onto a thread stating something along the lines, “I have found you, you are all awful, bitchy people and don’t think this thread will last”, then that would be worrying. Hypothetically speaking of course.

i do find it hard to understand why there can't be one thread that is not full of critical stuff. it was so nice the other day talking about weddings.
surely there are other "critical threads"?
anyways I hope this thread doesn't get hijacked. its nice to have a C free place at the moment.

As far as I can see, criticism over the security arrangements is legitimate. But let's not pretend that it hasn't crossed into other, more personal, criticisms that are just an excuse to take a pop.

I have enjoyed discussions on this thread so far but if it descends to Meghan bashing will have to hide it like others tbh. Healthy disagreements is fine for me but I don’t really like the finding fault with every single thing this one woman does.

On a side note I really hope she doesn’t ever come back to like in the UK. She is underground and still any article about her attract so much negative commentary. I hear she is irrelevant but damn DM and the Sun must make a killing from advertising revenue on her articles. < must admit don’t know how that works🤷‍♂️

How tiresome is that statement. Just because posters, me included, went on there to disagree with som sweeping statements that were blatantly incorrect, and were assumptions and hearsay, that didn't mean they went on there to deliberately try and get the thread shut down. Nothing could be further from the truth AFAIC.

Here is the happy-for-them place and I like it.

Fair enough. I genuinely didn't think it was serious.
I'm sorry you found my statement tiresome; can't please all of the people all of the time and I'm entitled to my opinion just as you're entitled to disagree.

Here is the happy-for-them place and I like it.
Fine. I've never posted anything on this thread to stop it being a happy-for-them place.

So people are entitled to disagree on some threads, but not others?

it's almost getting like AIBU:

OP: AIBU?
Resounding chorus: Yes
OP: Well I didnt expect disagreement...

It's quite easy to separate the personal from the political/royal really.

I've never posted anything on this thread to stop it being a happy-for-them place

Agreed, and haven't said you have

Of course you're entitled to your opinion. I'm just saying I never ever went on those threads with the purpose of being deliberately provocative to try and get them shut down. And I didn't see anyone particularly doing that. But I wasn't on there all the time.

You're welcome on this thread as much as we should be welcome on others.

Well said Roussette With so much happening in the world at the moment, and so many of us either ill or in quarantine, we should be kind to each other and not seek out cracks in one another's spirit in order to harm them.

I know you didn't

I watched a programme earlier about the royal family and their flights. It was really interesting. The queen has flown round the world something like 40 times.
