Two brothers have fallen out, with one leaving the family business to go and live with his wife in her country.

That's it.

The only reason the spin off stuff (books, TV, interviews) happens is because all of you provide an audience for it.

Switch off and it will end, keep on engaging and YOU keep it going.

Unless of course you all actually enjoy the faux outrage Wink

You lot are full of crap! You are also discussing it cant you see the part you yourselves are playing in giving the whole circus oxygen from which to stay alive?

honestly, the ONLY place I have had exposure to any of this drama is via MN.

it is surprisingly easy to keep away from if you REALLY wanted to.

if it weren’t for me actively seeking it out on MN I would not have a clue about any of the revelations because aside from this platform I only read the economist. I don’t listen to the radio and I don’t watch daytime TV.

you obviously do. So you are feeding off it all as much as anyone, only by telling yourselves that you are somehow on higher moral ground, you think your different and justified,

nothing worse than a hypocrite.

You are the ones reading it and discussing it in minute details however !

He wrote a book. Surely he expects people to read it and talk about it? Otherwise he wouldn't have hyped it up.

What about the stuff direct from the horses mouth - the OW interview? NF? TV interviews etc - their own accounts unfiltered - surely THEY put that out their for us to discuss?

Unless they expect us to swallow it whole and fawn at their feet?

Yes, I think that's a good summary.

Here you go.

V bizarre that you have zero exposure or opinion but somehow find and trip into this niche thread and are invested enough to comment?

V odd. Are you just trying to silence the opinion of people you don’t agree with?

Seems you have gone right out of your way to find this.

I think the poster is asking what is the problem with discussing it and actually agreeing with you. They're criticising the hypocrisy of people on MN being on threads about the book moaning about.......people discussing the book.

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 07/01/2023 13:56

Glindara I think you've completely misunderstood that post (either that or I have!).

ReneBumsWombats · 06/01/2023 14:51

I think what I love most about all these sanctimonious, faux intellectual protest posts, on this thread and others, is how they think they're casting their pearls among us swine and we're just too thick and prurient to reach their enlightened heights.

We know exactly what we're looking at. And it's fucking glorious.

Love this 👏👏😂

You are literally missing the point. I’m here because I am interested. I don’t pretend not to be. and furthermore I don’t have a problem with anyone else being interested either.

what I do have a problem with are people who think they are morally and intellectually superior who actively seek people like me out in a chat room to tell me I am some sort of pond life for being interested in something they claim they aren’t. Despite having VERY strong opinions on the subject themselves.

and I can’t believe you went to the trouble of finding and economist article to ‘prove’ that I would have been exposed to H&M coverage.

How utterly lame.

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 06/01/2023 14:08

That is true actually. If people just stopped reading about it, it would all stop. But it's the same with Katie price, politicians etc. it's public interest because we have been conditioned to be interested in it.

I dont understand why politicians are in this list,!!? They are elected by us & make the decisions that govern our lives. More, not fewer, people should take an interest!

I just could not care less. I have zero interest in the royals. I've never watched a royal wedding or funeral, and just want to curl up and die of shame every time I see them on TV.

It baffles me that people think we need them. This island produced Shakespeare, Dickens, Tolkien, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, David Bowie, the Beatles, Virginia Woolf, Wordsworth, Blake, Byron, Milton, Turner, Jane Austen, the Brontes. We have two of the oldest and most famous universities in the world. It's the island in which the cell and the atom were first understood. It's the birthplace of modern democracy. It's the place in which DNA was discovered, where Harry Potter was written. We should be proud of our amazing cultural history, not this bunch of ugly gargoyles.

Ah yes, Shakespeare is well known for being completely uninterested in Royal drama...

Mezmer · 07/01/2023 14:23

I think the general consensus is is that is absolutely okay to have strong opinions about people who have strong opinions about subjects that you don’t approve of.

Whoops - sincere apologies - got the wrong end of the stick.

Seems we are agreeing furiously.

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain
Yes absolutely Afghanistan. The treatment of females. 💯
I should have also put that in my post earlier.

So many more newsworthy things going on in the world and yet the Royal's Soap Opera is the focus for so much of the media. FFS Sad

Because it's so funny. It won't last long then we'll be back to the usual mundane, miserable January news. NHS not coping, Mick Lynch, ice and floods, and political hoohaas.
Let's just enjoy ourselves while we can.

Honestly, watch this. It'll cheer you right up.

All those who want to just do NHS and strikes can click on those stories instead, and hide RF topic.

Haha! My meme!! 😂😂😂. Have had such a laugh on that thread.

im off back to it to cheer myself up.

But on my way, I’m going to start a thread on Samurai sword collecting so that I can express how I feel about people who are interested in it. Because I don’t want ANYTHING to do with it. In fact I just avoid anything at all to do with Samurai sword collecting - that is apart from the people who actually like it.

I reserve VERY strong judgement about those fuckers and need to tell them.
