Meghan’s birthday video

[Greenlittle]

I like the idea and I like the video. (Not that keen on the big desk) And I though MM looked...alive!

Not sure who the other woman was. But there was good chemistry.

It literally says ‘it made her wonder what would happen if we..’ and ‘what would happen if we…’

So let me get this straight. You want MM to specifically come out with a 'oven baked' - as opposed to 'oven ready' project, because you call that what if?

On the same breath you are giving the benefit of the doubt - no, actually praising others for spending 7yrs 'researching' 5 questions (that I actually answered 12yrs ago with my HV) about child matters. That everyone in the baby and child charity world have been giving an answer to - asking that surestart and other centres are reopened and given more scope.

Then you come here and tell us that a woman who has done mentoring before and works with a mentoring charity is talking a what if. Yes, MM has mentored Smartworks , who came back and made a video about how she was looking for a job for a while and received a confidence boost from MM and got the job

Michelle O is wonderful, yes. She inspires.

@Roussette It was totally meant as a compliment ☺️ I think that’s the problem with these boards, you mean to genuinely compliment someone and it comes across as sarcasm 😬

@Roussette

Do you think she just forgot to mention her own pledge?

See above. Rainy.

Yep I saw. Of course she can’t mentor on an ordinary job. But surely she must be able to talk to an aspiring actress who wants a tv career about how she got there herself. And provide a few contacts.

@SnottyLottie

I meant thanks, honest I did! Just a bit wary at times

She can talk to anyone who could benefit. Just like MO or HC can talk to anyone who don't necessarily have to be a First Lady, or working in legal !

@Cacacoisfarraige I like Beyoncé as a live performer & some of her older songs but I think she is just so… reserved & it would be boring talk to her🤣🙈. Hillary seems more she good fun in my opinion

Oh lord, imagine singing with Beyonce ha ha, she'd hang up on me.

Why did I just imagine the single ladies routine in a leotard 🤣.

I love Beyoncé but I don't think today's teens are quite her demographic - they'd probably be more into the likes of Billie Eilish!

@Zuluqueen that would definitely make her hang up if I wore that outfit

Loved Beyonce in the beginning, really don't like her latest stuff.

I would like Dolly Parton. But my favourite would be Ottolenghi (not sure he is in the project). Instead of career mentoring I would just exchange recipes and ask him why he always adds extra salt and lemon at the end! I mean, by now he should have got the proportions right the first time 😃

And I agree with who ever said she is brand savvy. And I think well, what’s wrong with a compassion brand? Better than the Piers Morgan diss women and ranty brand?

Everyone has to make a living...and the compassion brand may even help some people.

Oh my! Ottolenghi or Beyonce! Both please!

He he Roussette.

Oh. And my favourite politician. Gordon Brown (I know!) it will likely be a terrible disillusionment to meet him. But at least I would be rid of my unreasonable attraction

The media has a brief now to pursue and harass anyone vaguely linked to Meghan and Harry (look up Dean and Alana Stott)

So of course she wouldn’t share details of anyone she was mentoring or there’d be a bounty on their head/the BM/Mail would be tracking them down offering them cash to give them clips of the mentoring. Or running photos of their mum and kids.

Obviously if she’s mentoring someone who isn’t already “super rich and successful with a security team” they’ll be very, very vulnerable to this.

Or even like Stormzy’s sponsored Cambridge black students - none of them have had their names out there (sensibly) or the newspapers would be running stories on them

Or Marcus Rashford - he’s been “out there” and the Spectator magazine now has a brief to “take him down”

There’s something all these people have in common but I can’t work out what it is

(For the record I thought the clip wasn’t funny or that creative - maybe you get it if you’re American? Desk scared me.

And all the huggy wuggy stuff makes me hurl. I don’t like the concept of charities.,

But I do think a lot of British people of colour “get it”)

Oh yes.

I have a link somewhere where a reputed journalist was asked to dish the dirt on Meghan. This is a live interview,can't be disputed. She said No. For 20 minutes she was asked again and again... just give us something
