TruestRepairman
A subtle version of the Britain-is-uniquely-shit-and-everywhere-else-is-just-better MN trope
Yes, we British are a backward and parochial lot, unable to comprehend or appreciate the wonder that is Meghan Markle
Wow! A bit of a leap from what I was saying TruestRepairman!
I never said or implied that Britain is uniquely shit and everywhere is better, and I wouldn’t ever say that because I don’t believe it to be true. I love the UK!
Living in several countries has given me the viewpoint that things aren’t as simplistic as that. There are pros and cons to every country. I wonder why you feel the need to exaggerate my words so much?
Nor did I say anything remotely like “the British are a backward and parochial bunch”.
I wonder why you feel the need to be so sarcastic and so defensive?
What I was trying to get across is that MM has a totally different perspective to Brits, she doesn’t give a toss about our rather conservative traditions; she is seeing them with a fresh eye, and she is entitled to her opinion.
And anyway, the entire Netflix docuseries is oriented towards the USA market - she doesn’t need to be popular here - she is never come back to live here.
Again, certain people seem to have taken great offence to this eg Piers Morgan (why can’t I mention him as he is one of the most swivel-eyes of all?) and feel a certain sense of rejection and “how dare she?”. But she can and she has and I don’t think she deserves lambasting for it.
Speaking as a person who married someone from another country and culture, the decision is never easy, one of you is always going to lose out. One of you is always going to be separated from family and friends. I have every sympathy for MM and H. It’s a really hard situation for a married couple to have to negotiate.
