The PR Whodunnit?

So what is this all about then?
Who did it and why?
And whoever's PR team is responsible needs tearing off a strip, it's going to backfire.
I know there was a thread about this earlier today but it was deleted due to questions over how genuine the OP was. As this story is everywhere at the moment I thought I would have a try myself and see how we go. Just a couple of preemptive points:

  1. My MN credentials are rock solid so don't anyone even go there😁
  2. Lets also keep some perspective, at the end of the day we are talking about a bunch of privileged and entitled millionaires who likely wouldn't even pee on us if we were on fire and that goes for both 'sides'.

Meghan wrote to King Charles expressing concern about unconscious bias in the Royal Family - report

The letter was reportedly sent after the duchess said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that a senior royal had speculated about how dark her unborn son's skin would be.

So who first posted the Kkkate hashtag on mumsnet?
And who started with the Piss Morgan one?
The same people protesting on this thread.

I wish I had sherlock skills but it's a lot more boring than that!

What a pity! I was about to scour obscure photos of Camilla to see if I could catch a glimpse of that long-haired cat that all good super-villains sit and stroke while planning their evil schemes...

No. It's pathetic and juvenile

Oh Roussette sometimes pathetic and juvenile can be amusing. I heard an amusing play on words the other day, RF related, and it certainly fell into that category. I'm not going to repeat it here though as my MN card would be marked forever more (and @derxa would think I'm common as muck😂!!).

😂Just call me Nancy Mitford. I joke but I cannot bring myself to utter the word toilet.

As somebody who has never posted on Twitter, all these hashtags were new to me and I have first seen them on here. That is why it is nasty to repost them across forums. It does encourage more of the same.

Roussette · 25/04/2023 19:57

You cant label us all the same. I don't use nicknames like that.

I'm the same with gusset 🤣

Call me old fashioned lol

skullbabe · 25/04/2023 19:59

I don’t use those names either

I can’t abide the word bosom 🤣

ArcaneWireless · 25/04/2023 20:02

I too think some things are funny. But once is fine.

What I really don’t like is one person getting called out for it. There are plenty on these threads who think nothing of continually dredging up the same old rumours/allegations/comments who don’t get the same treatment. Doing it to be snidey. Doing it to be supportive. Doing it to deflect or derail.

That is what wears thin for me.

Dalmation (in whatever colour they choose to be) has a robust opinion. I don’t always agree with what they post but they are always upfront. A dalmation clearly isn’t changing their spots. 😉

But I disagree with the snide and the derails and the ostrichicity (not a word I know!) displayed by quite a few posters when the insults fly the ‘other way’. Pretending it isn’t happening or not challenging it when everything else is challenged is just as bad.

Roussette · 25/04/2023 20:04

Well I've been at the brunt of that more times than I care to remember.

ArcaneWireless · 25/04/2023 20:04

I like a bosom.

I uttered gusset the other night. I cleaned the work toilet as it was making me spewy.

But moist? No thank you. 🥴

MrsMaxDeWinter · 25/04/2023 20:05

What about a moist gusset @ArcaneWireless ?????

Is that because you are Russian? Perhaps it is unusual for a Russian person to post on a royal family board but fair point.

ArcaneWireless · 25/04/2023 20:06

Me too. Under another name a few moons ago on another topic.

Still doesn’t make it right when it happens to others though.

I don't even like Borscht! But vodka... now you're talking...

StormzyinaTCup · 25/04/2023 20:07

@derxa I love that list for its complete randomness!
Swans and scarves😂

Oh and I can't be doing with the word 'moist'!

A. Moist. Gusset. 🤮

You are evil and should be punished 🤣

ArcaneWireless · 25/04/2023 20:11

a colleague and I were talking about cotton gussets in tights.

The ones I remember would barely accommodate my eyebrow - let alone weary looking nethers.

Maybe they are more substantial now. Although I daresay we won’t be discussing those on the Royal Style and Beauty thread!

That is on the MN RF board, not Twitter!

'Chuck' that is, not the other names

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

On that light note, to all goodnight.

We meet again at dawn. Pick your weapons!

Catapult made out of tights with a gusset do ye? 😉

I don’t suppose B&E can prevent PM from turning up to the same event they are attending.

Not an event. It looked like a lunch gathering and I saw a photo of B greeting him warmly.
