Making PAs because people don!t agree with you is lazy IMO

Halo84 · 20/06/2020 23:00

@FromEden, I will ask him when i next speak to him. I stopped reading his blog shortly after he sold it. TBH, given all that transpired I would be surprised, but it may have been a term of the sale (pure speculation on my part).

Roussette · 20/06/2020 23:01

intellectually lazy people read only things they agree with

Anything is up for discussion, but I'm not sure that i would be linking to something that is from worse than Blind Gossip.

I read all sorts. But I can't say I'd link it on here.

I can only liken it to the Trump threads (OK.... they're a yawnfest to most, I've been on them, now number 101) but I try to verify in a number of places what I link to because there's a helluva lot out there that is just BS. I just don't want to feed false info.

Halo84 · 20/06/2020 23:11

What is this link everyone is referring to?

Roussette · 20/06/2020 23:12

OK. Not Link. Quoting from a dodgy source.
Same difference

FromEden · 20/06/2020 23:40

Ffs, CDAN is a well known gossip site. Stuff from there has been posted on many celebrity themed threads. Why should this be any different? Apparently some posters don't approve, so maybe don't read it then? Report it if you want.

I think Meghan is self serving, they wanted to live privately fair enough. Now she is acting as if she is some kind of saviour and wants to become the president of America. She needs to make her mind up does she want privacy or not.

Roussette · 21/06/2020 08:17

Now she is acting as if she is some kind of saviour and wants to become the president of America

What? How does a person act like they want to become the president of America?

She has done nothing to fuel that ridiculous assumption. This is the DailyFail making up something to fill their MM shaped void now they've left the country.

Oldbutstillgotit · 21/06/2020 08:35

I wonder if H and M will wish PW a happy birthday today ?
Love the new photos issued last night and thinking how nice it would be for H and M to release a couple of Archie from time to time.

calmcoolandcollected · 21/06/2020 08:36

The Daily Mail didn’t report that Meghan Markle wants to run for the presidency.

Roussette · 21/06/2020 08:53

The Daily Mail reported that MM had political ambitions. Refuse to link to it, but it's out there.

Is that not what the poster meant by MM acting like she wants to be president of america, or is there more nonsense like this out there?

calmcoolandcollected · 21/06/2020 08:56

Political ambitions can mean anything from sitting on a local council to the presidency.

Can you state definitively that Meghan Markle had never entertained the idea of a political role?

calmcoolandcollected · 21/06/2020 08:57

^has never

Roussette · 21/06/2020 09:08

Can you state definitively she has?

I'm not querying whether she has or she hasn't
I was querying that she is 'acting like she wants to be the president of america'.
That's all.

calmcoolandcollected · 21/06/2020 09:11

No, I cannot state definitively she has. But I cannot state definitively she has no political ambitions either.

TheNavigator · 21/06/2020 09:11

@calmcoolandcollected

Political ambitions can mean anything from sitting on a local council to the presidency.

Can you state definitively that Meghan Markle had never entertained the idea of a political role?

It is impossible to prove a negative - can you state definitively that anyone has never entertained the idea of a political role? William? Charles? Andrew? Kate? Anne? Please prove to me that none of them ever entertained the idea of being Prime Minister.

Frankly I think it is outrageous that a member of the RF should want to cross into the political sphere and outrageously arrogant they think they are qualified to be Prime Minister. And they've not done anything about it! All talk and no action, typical of them.

You see - you are making things up to have a go. It is silly and should make you question why you hate MM so much you have to make up things to criticise her for.

Roussette · 21/06/2020 09:14

I'll say again calm
I am querying the statement...she is acting like she wants to be president of america. That's what I said originally and am saying now.

No idea if she has political ambitions or not, but she is not acting like Kanye West who burbles on about being President!

parrots · 21/06/2020 09:16

Who's making anything up? It's been reported so people are discussing it

www.ibtimes.co.uk/meghan-markle-has-political-dreams-duchess-feels-destined-fight-racism-us-1679755

I think the really interesting thing is the constant stream of 'leaks' from 'close friends' associated with Harry and Meghan, I can't recall any other royals engaging with the media in this way.

Perhaps it's their only option to get publicity now that they've publically announced that they won't have anything to do with the tabloids.

daysofpearlyspencer · 21/06/2020 09:24

The pair of them seem to be flapping in the breeze, one minute it's Africa,, then Canada, then LA, foundations, charities, now politics and BLM. Nothing seems very thought through. I have charity experience of people supposedly being 'involved' and photographed doing good works while the rest of us do the heavy lifting behind the scenes. I really do hope they do the actual work rather than just pop in to get an Instagram picture.

CallmeAngelina · 21/06/2020 09:26

I think they probably want to "make a difference." Fair enough - but they had a great platform for doing that whilst in the Royal Family. Presumably that had too many other restrictions for them, so they left. But the trouble is, in doing so, they have alienated many, many Brits, so any future message is going to have a barrier to being heard in the spirit intended, for a while, at least. But once the public's "hurt feelings" die down, the danger is that they will be replaced by a complete lack of interest in anything H&M do.

Roussette · 21/06/2020 09:26

That article is just quoting what is in the DailyMail.

Roussette · 21/06/2020 09:30

I agree CallMeAngelina
And I remember how loathed Camilla was. People were going to throw cakes at her or something! At the time she was never ever going to be accepted, according to some. She had betrayed Diana, she was a traitor to her country, she was the most hated woman in Britain.
Now she's the best thing since sliced bread!
I hope that's the case with Harry & Meghan in time to come with those who feel betrayed and loathe them.

MoreHippoThanPenguin · 21/06/2020 09:32

I agree that it is weird parrot, I am just not sure if they are leaks directly from H&M, if their friends are actually independently or if it all is made up? Also there may be truth in it, but I am not sure if M really made statements such as “my destiny” (which to me is a ridiculous statement, but may not be to others) or if that is the papers’ spin to make her look silly.

I think it would be great if she did have some kind of political/ advisory/support role. I think she could make a difference if it was handled correctly.

calmcoolandcollected · 21/06/2020 09:33

@TheNavigator, what other members of the RF wish is irrelevant. This thread is about HaM. Further, I am not trying to "prove" anything. The exact opposite, actually.

@Rousette, you asked and then answered your own question, and furthermore, specifically referenced the Daily Mail - She has done nothing to fuel that ridiculous assumption. This is the DailyFail making up something to fill their MM shaped void now they've left the country.

All I did was to point out that the Daily Mail never reported Meghan Markle wants to be president, which is factually accurate.

I also don't think you will get many responses to questions that you choose to answer yourself.

Roussette · 21/06/2020 09:35

No idea what you're on about now to be honest.
