Mike Tindall - I'm a Celebrity

[Arnaquer]

Rumours circulating that he's signed up for the next series of I'm a Celebrity.
I know he and Zara have to make their own money but I find this tasteless and tacky.
Puts me in mind of the Royal It's a Knockout.
Surely they can't be that desperate for cash?

@Morestrangethings no, not that I expected it, I just expect a correction or a simple, ok cheers! But this happens a lot in NZ too, they don’t like being corrected for some reason. But to be repeatedly called aggressive because I correct my language, is a micro aggression and it should really stop.

It is my language too, WahineToa. You should be apologising to me.

For what? If you’re Maori why are you overreacting to someone correcting you?!?! Why? You do not say that to a stranger. It’s weird. First you say lots of love, then I say, why did you say that, it’s not correct use? Then you reply, ‘ if you’re gonna be a dick about it….’ So you are overly affectionate in one and call me names in the next? What is wrong with you? You should know you do not sign off like that. It’s not a big deal to get it wrong. It’s a big deal to repeatedly call a Maori woman, regardless if you are or not, aggressive for correcting you. Either drop it or admit you were wrong. It’s ridiculous for you to react like this.

I’m not the one overreacting. I’ll leave it at that.

Except you won’t, you’ll probably wait another few pages and make another comment. I can go back and copy out the exchange? All I said was, why would you say that to me? Do you know what it means? You replied: if you’re going to be a dick about it…
Are you Maori? I find your reaction to be bizarre if you are, and I’ve never encountered it before from Maori, just pakeha who learn a few words and get upset if it’s pointed out it’s not correct.

If she did a reality show aimed at her home country though she would be perceived differently. Mike represented his country in sport so it stands to reason that he's known in his own right. Meghan would be similarly relatable to Americans if Suits was a successful show in the States before her marriage . It’s mostly in the U.K. she gets flack because hardly anyone her watched the show and we only know her through Harry.

@WahineToa you need to look back at your comments and reflect on their intent. Clearly you are enjoying provoking Serenster rather than adding anything useful to the thread.

No, and stop this gaslighting. So what I’ve said fuck a few times on the thread? To her, I simply asked, why did you say it, do you know what it means? Then she called me a dick. I wasn’t aggressive about it at all. It’s absolutely wrong for you to jump in on this separate debate. I’m assuming you don’t speak my language either? Correcting someone is not aggressive. Arguing and attacking a POC because they corrected improper use of their own language is a racial micro aggression. It’s simply wrong. I won’t accept it here or anywhere else.

LOOOL

I'm sure Harry and Meghan would be sympathetic to how hard up for cash Mike and Zara have to be to sign up to eat cockroaches on live TV.

You know, when he takes a break from his Domino and CBD oil ads on Twitter/Instagram. They did a Jubilee promo code and all, I'm sure the Queen loved that one 😌

The RF are the global laughing stock, it's why William and Kate got the boot in Jamaica, fired before they even took a seat. Colonial cosplaying like they were in the 60s lauding it over their subjects. What a joke. Are the police still investigating "i want to be a tampon" Charlie?

I can't wait for the Crown, maybe he'll leave his Twitter comments open this time.

Harry and Meghan splitting up is a pipe dream of the deranged, I'm sure you're well aware of that 😂

@WahineToaYour aggression is not just the swearing ( which I find offensive actually).It’s the continuous tirade of posts at one particular poster, one after another. Yesterday 12.15 if you want to check the facts.
It’s only gaslighting if it didn’t happen.

You may have found the comment offensive and it’s absolutely fine to address that. Which you did. Haranguing people is pointless and disrespectful to those that have to read it. We are all strangers on the internet and no one is more entitled to comment than anyone else.

So I also won’t be replying to your enviable reply otherwise I will be just as culpable.

(I am quite tempted to sign off with a sarcastic “ love” in English though)

@lightisnotwhite the comment to me was removed by @MNHQ clearly, I am not the aggressive one. I know it’s hard for some people to understand racial micro-aggressions and to be corrected by a POC but that’s not my problem. I have every right to simply and calmly correct misuse. The out of order response was deleted for a reason. You have no need to involve yourself at all.

You were aggressive to me too . I don’t care about swearing , I care about tone.

I will not stand for this continuing now that @MNHQ have deleted it and agreed with me. Neither of you need to get involved with repeatedly calling a Maori woman aggressive after correcting an error that has nothing at all to do with you and you almost certainly don’t understand my language enough to know why it’s not ok.

Swearing is allowed on MN. It is not your job to tone police and I believe it is against T & Cs to do so.

'Can you imagine if Meghan appeared on this show and the advert explained she was an actor and then a member of the Royal Family - with a cut to of Meghan at a Royal Family public occasion? This is what the show's advert did with Mike Tindall.'

Didn't you watch Winfry?! Same level of entertainment and they did indeed keep cutting to Markle and the royals as that is the selling point.

Oh come now. There were no pictures. I thought it sounded pretty tasteless at the time but no pictures.

'Are the police still investigating "i want to be a tampon" Charlie?'

That was terrible, such a gross invasion of privacy. I've no idea how it was all publicised when you think nowadays Harry sues the DM constantly how on earth weren't the publishers of tampongate taken to the cleaners!

The rules are Royal Family members who are approved by the Palace can do no wrong, every excuse in the book will be made.
Royal Family members out of favour will be heavily criticised for everyday things such as eating an avocado.

'Royal Family members out of favour will be heavily criticised for everyday things'

Yes I'd imagine that is exactly what Harry's Tell All will be.

The avocado story was rubbish printed by the Daily Mail. Who in their right mind took it seriously. It's the sort of thing picked up by Owen Jones on Jeremy Vine. Lazy nonsense

Hopping on to ask for a bit of peace and love on the thread please. If we have to delete lots of personal attacks or posts that otherwise cross a line we'll end up having to remove the whole thread. Hit report if there's anything causing you concern.

That is why I said I wasn't sure. No need for "come now" lol

I agree. I'm not Maori. Or even Kiwi. It's patronising in any language.

Yeah, like the mentally ill love joking about how insane they are? Get the boot in before anyone else does?
