Janus

I just saw your post. You are correct this thread get more vile by the minute. I think at one point there were all sorts of views, but I just see it's mostly the same posters who egging everyone one. I think even the ones with different point of views simply got tired.

These threads currently read like Piers M and Katie H egging each other on, reassuring themselves with excuses why they should be vile towards MM. I for one admit that I like H&M based on the projects they have done.

I don't think much of W&K for example, and I probably have a lot of negative things to say about them, but personally, I would not be able to spend that much time and energy on vitriol of another human being - no matter how rich or privileged they are - that I don't know, doesn't particularly affect my life, especially without evidence, but 'hunches' that I feel about them.
As Nelson Mandela said, 'Resentment is me drinking poison every day in the hopes that it kills my energy'.

my enemy

Though it may well be energy.lol

Mummy195 · 29/03/2020 09:52

PS : the issue about W&K not having another child has nothing to do with H&M.

W told Africans to stop overpopulating the planet, then went on to have a 3rd child themselves.

🙄🙄🙄🙄

Winterlife · 29/03/2020 09:54

PS I asked in a previous thread for proof William told Africans to stop overpopulating the planet. No such proof was provided. If you have proof, please post a link.

Morning! Catching up on the thread, Dandy great stuff sourcing the video!

Catherine Flowers

I’ve nothing of value to add at the moment, will catch up on the news and come back in a bit.

Hope everyone has a good (or at least better than yesterday) day. Brew

Here’s a text of William’s African speech-

You're a veritable saint.

I think as a whole virtue signalling is becoming really unpopular now.

Mummy195 · 29/03/2020 10:10

I linked it back then and will link it now. It's easy to find on google. Even the Daily Fail reported on it.

Read my link, which is the text of William’s speech. Then paste the sentence in which he tells Africans to stop overpopulating the planet.

derxa · 29/03/2020 10:14

I personally don't care if William is a hypocrite. Most of us are. But he and his family are here in the UK along with the rest of us. I find W&K and their family a reassuring presence. It's very hard to describe without sounding sycophantic.

7Penguins · 29/03/2020 10:17

William is talking about the effect of exploding population growth on the environment, which is topical for this charity.
What he’s saying is factual.
Different countries have different growth rates, and I’d support legislation about keeping each country at replacement rate.

Tezza1 · 29/03/2020 10:18

@derxa Shakespeare, of course, had a quote for it "Dost thou think because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?"

Quote might not be accurate as l read the play at the age of 14, and that is much longer ago than I care to remember, but the meaning is there.

derxa · 29/03/2020 10:21

Good quote Tezza

Mummy195 · 29/03/2020 10:27

derxa
I have put up the part on the attachment. What was he trying to say here, and what did he expect these people to do in regards with this speech. Because you are implying that he was just reading them statistics, which I am sure they can read well by themselves.
Can you link a speech where Harry tells you and I and everyone else to stop taking private jets?

BarleylemonPenguin · 29/03/2020 10:29

that I don't know, doesn't particularly affect my life

What they do does affect your life. You are a stakeholder in this organization.

Mummy195 · 29/03/2020 10:30

Why is it that people who accuse others of virtue signalling, always come across as virtue signalling themselves. ie. I am better than them because I don't do virtue signalling, but look at that person doing it, so my position is more morally correct. My friend calls it the virtue signalling circle.

Mummy195 · 29/03/2020 10:32

Not really.

Heads of states, governments etc. decisions impact my life.
If W&K are sitting lazily in a palace, well, I probably would not be that bothered.

7Penguins · 29/03/2020 10:32

Mummy195 that makes no sense.

Because you are implying that he was just reading them statistics, which I am sure they can read well by themselves.

Mummy195 · 29/03/2020 10:37

No ?
I'm not surprised.

7Penguins · 29/03/2020 10:38

Anyway, we wasted a whole page on this.

PineappleDanish that’s great to read and confirms what other posters have said - the Wessexes are a very decent bunch.

Mummy195 · 29/03/2020 10:39

Sorry derxa, it's for Winterlife

SussexRoyalPenguin · 29/03/2020 10:40

Good morning Penguins!!! How is Charles getting on, do you think?
