Grifters indeed! Can we have a lift Joe?

[ThePoshUns]

H&M asked if they could have a lift home on AF1 after HMQs funeral.
Environmentally friendly sure, but makes them look grabby and entitled again. Makes for a good story though.

Anyone catching a lift pays? What does that even mean? You can’t just buy tickets. The Biden’s would be the ones on the hook for taking personal guests, not the guests.

Have you not been reading? The only person who doesn't pay, is the president. If he allows grandchildren to travel on it, he has to personally pay for that. Even when arranged, you do not fly on it on the taxpayers dime. That's what it means.

If they wanted to meet, its up to both of them. If Thomas can meet with journalists at 'his age' then he can organise meeting his daughters boyfriend. I think there were other, private issues with him and perhaps him and Meghan but it isn't really worth speculating on. Its their business.

It makes me want to watch the film Air Force one with Harrison Ford

Poster looks thoughtfully at Justice Matthew Nicklin's ruling in July 2022 that the article in question, headlined:

“Exclusive: How Prince Harry tried to keep his legal fight with the government over police bodyguards a secret… then – just minutes after the story broke – his PR machine tried to put a positive spin on the dispute.”

... was indeed defamatory, and not, as argued by the Mail's lawyers, honest opinion.

A correct ruling because the story states a number of statements as fact, and not just opinion.

The only outstanding issues are whether it was accurate, or in the public interest. So basically whether the Mail has a defence to an article already found to be defamatory, and not opinion.

Thanks.

Yes, it means the Biden’s personally pay for whomever rides along with them.

He pays, not the guest. It’s not something you can buy yourself. He can’t sell tickets to whomever wishes to ride along.

Do you not understand the difference?

Oh please. Any woman past the age of 18 decides who meets her parents. She’s an adult.

I'm just thinking back to introducing my boyfriend to my parents. I don't recall my dad trying to get my now husbands number or going to his place of work to introduce himself. That would be plain weird. My dad waited for me to introduce us. Isn't that the accustomed way?

I think it's a question of where the "trashing" you're talking about is coming from.

So we have two sides - H&M vs the RF. Just to be clear, I am not "for" either side and I did not form an opinion on MM from the first few interviews or TV appearances - other than thinking how lovely she seemed.

Back to the actual "trashing" and where it's coming from.

On the one hand, we get trashing of the RF from the very mouths and pens of H&M - the RF are unwelcoming and inflexible, Kate made me cry, they withheld a title from my child because of his race, they're stingy and won't pay for us.

On the other hand, we get the trashing of H&M, not from the RF but from the press and SM - M made Kate cry, H&M are grifters, they can't stop trashing the UK and the RF, they pull the racist card, whatever...

I know I know, you're going to say that the RF are complicit in what comes out about H&M even when it doesn't come from them - that they could deny or rectify if they wished, or even that they are planting some of these stories. But that argument has been hashed and re-hashed ad infinitum.

Love this

You're a hero Serenster.

As Megan Markel Herself has said: "I think the biggest part of being a girl boss in the office, at home, or anywhere you go is just knowing your value."

So you bet on a couple divorcing to donate to a charity for abused women? That's so twisted and nasty.

Lady Colin Campbell has a name, you know.

She is a person, not just an aristocratic man's "ex-wife".

Women have their own value. They do not owe their fame or their success simply to the man they marry.

Lady Colin Campbell was married to her husband for a bout a year, so there value is there husbands name (they divorced in the 70's)

The only thing I can think of is that on the Tig, she possibly embellished the closeness between herself and her father, otherwise I cannot imagine why she would not introduce them in person when she knew it was a serious relationship.

As for the lift on AF1, I imagine there is some truth in the rumour, will be interesting to see if any more detail comes out about it.

Jerry Seinfeld currently does ‘comedians in cars getting coffee’ perhaps Harry can beg for a lift on that - some of his podcast ideas did made me laugh ?

Absolutely.

I brought my boyfriend (now husband) to a village in rural Ireland to meet my dad when we decided our relationship was serious and before we got engaged. I think he may have been the first person of colour to walk into the village pub.

My dad subsequently travelled to meet my future inlaws soon after we got engaged and they travelled to our hometown with us on a few occasions with our kids.

No problem.

I am happy to call Lady Colin Campbell by the name of the ex-husband she married several decades ago and divorced after 9 months ...

... but only if you raise no objection to the Duchess of Sussex using the title she acquired on marriage to the husband she has been with 7 years longer than Lady Colin Campbell was with her ex-husband whose name she still uses.

Also, I hope you are happy to apply this statement of yours to the Duchess of Sussex.

Women have their own value. They do not owe their fame or their success simply to the man they marry.

You’re right.

I honestly can’t imagine that anyone would be so gauche as to trade on the value of a royal name or title, even after they’ve left that person or family.

I would pay to watch Harry working through Alan Partridge’s ideas.

Lady Colin left her marriage because her husband was violent towards her.

Divorce has saved the lives of millions of women like her.

Haha. I want that guy from Spotify to get drunk and tell his story.

@Millicentsparty

That would be fun.

I hope it’s true. It’s bonkers. I sort of admire how big a deal they see themselves as now, though.

Oh, so do I!
It really will shed light on how they see themselves. Such a disappointment if it turns out to be Press invention

I think we're going to be hearing a lot more from him! Personally I can't wait to hear how Harry pitched his idea for an interview with Vladimir Putin on childhood trauma.

I thought the divorce arose because of the circumstances of her birth and childhood and the husband claiming fraud? It is amusing though that he dropped his title ages ago, but she uses it.

I guess someone has to!

Personally I think Spotify guy has been put in a box with a label on it saying "not allowed to speak". Hehe.
I understand he's a sports jock so my only hope is that his favourite team loses unfairly loses and he gets so pissed off that he starts on a rant and reveals all. Or, that maybe when he leaves Spotify, he tells all then. He will know all the goss about them from the Spotify offices. Can't wait. 😀
