Indifference to PoW?

FaiIureToLunch · 28/01/2024 08:51

I find it strange that there’s no real interest or concern from the public about POW being in hospital. Nobody seems to be that bothered. If you compare it to the circus if Diana had been in the same situation….. I just find it odd. I always thought she was relatively popular because we’re constantly told she is but actually…. Tumbleweed.

I know it’s her own business etc but it just feels quite odd that somebody can disappear and there is no interest in why. I don’t really know or care what’s happened or why, but the silence is really intriguing. It reminds me of when the brexit referendum happened and I had no idea that there was such strong feeling about the EU…. I had no idea that there was such apathy about the PoW until now. It’s been a real eye opener for me.

I reckon the next generation or two, the monarchy will be gone.

I missed the banned poster's posts unfortunately. But I didn't recognise the name.

Could have been using a different username anyway

Playingintheshadow I'm happy for MN to confirm to you that I never change usernames but it's time to stop claiming I'm a sock puppet or troll or whatever it is you're trying to claim. I'm pretty sure it's against the guidelines.

I'm just the same old username always.

Agree.

And when we think that but for an accident of birth order we'd now be feting King Andrew I'm astounded at the level of support this mediaeval institution still enjoys.

Your comment makes zero sense.

Serenster · 02/02/2024 21:30

Right, so that definitely is you in posts I’ve posted above. Thanks for confirming.

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 21:35

Not that easy to read but morning sickness has nothing to do with William tbf. And two posts on a single day about Kate looking uncomfortable with William at a time when she had indeed looked uncomfortable is hardly a lot of posts. They've certainly made an effort to look more touchy and smiley since then. Was that around the time she pushed him away and there was a lot of comment about it?

Where are all the posts with me fangirling Harry and Meghan then?

wildernesssw · 02/02/2024 21:36

You do seem to have form for denigrating W&K's marriage, to be fair.

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 21:36

Can the same username be used by more than one poster? I doubt it.

Anyhow, please show me the fangirling of Harry and Meghan! If you can!

Serenster · 02/02/2024 21:37

Look for those yourself if you like. I have never mentioned that.

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 21:40

Perfectly happy to admit to that. Since the ludicrous attempts to whitewash William yes. Because that's what it is. The Palace spinning yet again. And that's the problem. I'm utterly consistent on that - this is just one example.

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 21:41

Oh wasn't it you? Some other rather rude poster threw that one out then, totally without justification. Thought it was you. Apologies.

wildernesssw · 02/02/2024 21:47

Whitewash?

I have no idea whether or not he has had an affair. It is none of my business. So no need for The Palace to whitewash anything.

The only person who would have cause for complaint IF he had an affair is Catherine. And IF so entirely up to her about whether to publicise her complaint.

As she hasn't - nothing to whitewash. Either he hasn't (and no evidence he has), or he has but they have worked it through and stayed together.

No-one else's business, and no need for whitewash.

MaturingCheeseball · 02/02/2024 21:58

Look, @goodbyestranger , ok, so you know all the Turnip Toffs and the Eton top brass, but why are you so keen to divulge their secrets? I thought you said such people close ranks? Why are you always popping up to let us know about William’s supposed affair and how below par George is? What’s in it for you ? I don’t believe it is for the noble end of disabusing royalists of the notion that the rf are higher beings. Most of us don’t give a fig about them - we’re here for the Harry and Meghan bants!

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 22:00

Obviously there was a need to whitewash and sit on the press as soon as these rumours gained traction a few years back.

But as I say, it's just one example (and quite an old one now) of press manipulation. Social media is much more tricksy for them to handle.

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 22:05

MaturingCheeseball there's only one theme and that is my very strong feelings about the fake pr.

I rarely posted on the rf board until recently. But it's quite funny as a non fan of this particular rf to see just how mad things can get. And how polarised and black and white.

But actually, it's now getting boring, as a couple of other posters apart from myself have also said. Too samey.

wildernesssw · 02/02/2024 22:09

But what fake PR?

You are the one saying that there is something to cover up, and then that there was a cover up.

Maybe there is nothing to cover up?

Or that - like the PoW's medical information, is private, and no-one else has the right to the info.

Cloud9isnowclosed · 02/02/2024 22:12

You've been posting on the RF board since 2019 @goodbyestranger with a particular focus on the status of W&K marriage, K's health and the education of the children

Roussette · 02/02/2024 22:17

I dread to think what THAT means 😮

People change username all the time.

I'm sure MN have better things to do than verify that you don't!! 😅

Now that is a bit sad...

Whatafliberty · 02/02/2024 22:37

Probably because the rest of us nhs plebs can get f#### all.
The idea of treatment for us is a joke. Waiting lists years long like it used to me in communist states.

wildernesssw · 02/02/2024 22:42

Waiting lists years long like it used to be in communist states

So, not the fault of having a monarchy?

Cloud9isnowclosed I had to do an Advanced Search on myself to see what I had actually posted and when. I see that I did first post in 2019 but the only time that I've been a frequent poster on this board is since the George Going To Malborough thread (the only time I've ever joined a discussion about the kids' education which was - clue in the title! - the subject of the thread.... Never discussed it before nor have I ever initiated a discussion about it myself). I've also joined in the threads about Kate's hospitalisation recently. I've also certainly weighed in when other people have started threads which discuss William's affair. I made a passing reference to it on this thread too. I'm very far from consistent in my posting though - there's just been a slew of posts lately (since December 2023/ the George Going To Malborough thread). If not joining in at the fashion end or the slagging off Harry and Meghan end of the rf board makes me sad, so be it.

Playingintheshadow maybe people do change usernames, I don't. Simples. Happy for the people who can verify that to verify it but as you say, they've probably got better things to do. I'm still not sure that accusations like that are within the guidelines though, since they imply a level of slyness and a lack of being straight (I'm aware that some people may do it to prevent being identified but that wasn't the implication here).

Anyhow I'll try to leave these threads to revolve on their own, because really it's an echo chamber of two polarised sides saying the same old things.

goodbyestranger · 02/02/2024 22:45

Also to avoid too many posts about me! That's pretty majorly boring too.

Noseybookworm · 02/02/2024 22:55

Why do you find it strange? I don't know her - why would I care if she's in hospital or not? 🤷‍♀️
