To think the palace should issue a statement condemning Clarkson's comments?

[Reindeersnooker]

I'm all for their dignified silence on everything else. I don't trust Harry or Megan. But Jeremy Clarkson's comments are horrific and were made in Britain against a woman who has become a member of their family.

NOT issuing a statement sends out such a hurtful message and indicates that anything can be said about her, for all they care. Even the MPs have managed to put something on paper.

It's clear that Harry will be beyond hurt if they do nothing and this time he'd have a point, IMO. Each comment like this published in the press erodes the boundaries for online trolls. If I was Meghan, I wouldn't feel I could return to the UK as it's clear the normal rules don't apply to her. What will her children think of Britain when they grow up and become aware of these articles? Won't they be likely to wonder how the palace responded? While it makes no sense to try and placate Harry generally, letting this play out without one word of censure to the press seems needlessly provocative.

It wouldn't be difficult to issue a statement saying something to the effect of "We stand against bullying and hate speech..." Two lines to indicate they see it and it's not ok.

Or not?

Piers Morgan should be toxic person no 1 to avoid.

It's callous and careless.

It’s a stretch to say that anyone’s reputation can be judged by the tone or sentiment on these boards.

The people that already hated the RF are continuing to feel that way. No surprises here.

Probably because he’s the President of the FA so it very much is on him to speak out against hateful issues in football. Racism was happening in his watch.

AFAIK no member of the RF represents The Sun in an official capacity

Give it a rest.

Well no.

I don't hate the royals at all.
At all..
I'm certainly no mad fan either but this is looking extremely grubby.
Extremely grubby.

As they say....

Play with pigs....get dirty...

She isn’t associated to Clarkson, Morgan or the Sun though, that obviously being my point

cRUMbS

Exactly!

And I would like a link to there being 200 people there. I've not seen that quoted anywhere.

I wonder if Angela Levin the other vile spewer or MM hate was there? She'd be mightily pissed off if she wasn't after writing a Camilla book recently (that ended up in the middle aisle of Aldi within weeks)

Er, no? I’ll post what I like thanks

Inkanta.... Lydia's stamina here is commendable.

I liken it to given Omid Scobie the play by play so he can live tweet for H&M while the Queen was passing.

He’s written some horrible things and would be glad for the Royal Family to disappear. But he’s been called a friend and used as a mouthpiece, even at such a time. Actually, I think this is all worse than being present at the same 100+ person affair.

As is yours seeing as you’re still posting nonsense condemning a woman who’s literally done or said nothing wrong for the actions of a misogynistic man

Scotland yard have just stated that no criminal offense has been committed

"Sir Mark Rowley, the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said officers were 'not there to police people's ethics'."

"Asked if Clarkson had committed a hate crime, the police chef added: ‘There’s a line to be drawn. It’s not for police to get involved in anything that’s about "is something ethical, is it moral. Is it proper, is it offensive".
‘The legal lines are only crossed, generally, when things are said that are intended or likely to stir up or incite violence.
‘I don’t think this is one of those cases but of course we will keep a close eye on it.’"

*giving

Lydia's I have dipped Into this subject yesterday and your name is all over this topic on all threads.

It's an open forum, you can post as much as you want.
I'm just admiring your stamina.

I think you’ll find the saying goes Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. No mention of pigs.

Indeed. He continues to post vitriol and lies. And MM actually HELPED him write parts of a book that set out to damage the family’s reputation and incite hate.

No one is criticising St Meghan though. And not should they. Because women are not responsible for the actions of vile men - that counts for every woman.

But you're giving Piers Morgan power he doesn't/shouldn't have. He thrives on this stuff. The best way to press the mute button on his wankery is to not respond. By responding/complaining you're giving him power. By ignoring the little pipsqueak, you're removing the power. By not going to the lunch because Morgan was there, all you're doing is suggesting he has power.

Oh yes the absolute bastion of ethics and morality,the yard stick of our nation's backbone the met police!

Interesting.

Then again nothing was done when Clarkson literally punched someone.

Id love anyone who’s legal eagle to come on and tell us if any civil action could be taken and on what grounds

PW has an official position within the FA. It wasn’t personal opinion but an official position.

Thank you. I don’t just shuffle off threads if people disagree with me.

Well I guess if he's happy to appear on ITV when the boss has described JC is such glowing terms why is anybody worried about Camilla going to a lunch or expecting the palace to say anything. Come on Harry, stand up for your wife this time. He's said he's ashamed he didn't support her more so this is his opportunity to put his month where his mouth is.

Yes exactly, and he laps it up.

As any MNer would say - don’t feed the troll

You seem to see it as your job to reply to every post on here and put everyone right!

Please don't reply.

No RF are not responsible for comments others make about others. Best they say nothing. H&M bring bad publicity by being so nasty against RF. If they shut up and just got on with their own lives people would forget them but they just keep spewing venom then get all hurt when others spew venom back at them.
