No it wasn’t new.

But as pp said Alistair Campbell became the story and spin was generally picked up by the public.

Thank Fuck. You sound like you need a holiday OP. Preferably one without access to the internet. You are weirdly invested in the lives of these strangers. Kate is not your friend...

She edited a family snap, it really is no biggie. Someone on another thread likened it to photoshoppimg Putin on to a picture at the palace. Just beyond batshit.

Except it was clearly a pro shot, not taken by William, for which she had had her hair and makeup done, and then it was badly edited, probably not by Kate altho she claimed it was her, and got pulled by news agencies.

That is a biggie.

You know the frenzy that lead to Diana's tragic death ?
This here and on the other threads , this is how it started and how it looked!

So what.

If it had been an official event and folk were photoshopped in or out fine that would be wrong, clearly. Cuffs, trees, fingers, zips though on a relaxed fanily snap?? It all amounts to fuck all.

It has been a massive overreaction on a global scale. The one good thing to come of it is it is proof whiny Harold is not the only one to experience excess scrutiny and bullying so perhaps he can finally put his persecution complex to bed.

I was thinking wtf at that post.

Oh ffs 😬

I have said what I meant. Public recognition of spin

It happened.

You missed the most crucial detail: William has a cutout of Kate in the car (it's one of those cute thing they do as a couple when they can't be together).

Unfortunately he keeps forgetting to move it so that it faces the right way around towards random photographers.
No biggie. Kate doesn't mind. It's not yet clear why the entire planet is negatively affected by this oversight.

I believe she was in the car home schooling whilst in a coma

But looking out the window as mid divorce

I can’t tell if your post is sarcastic or not (there definitely needs to be a sarcasm/irony emoji on Mumsnet); just my opinion but I am chuckling at the description of Tim Bell and Bernard Ingham as being “lovely” to anyone.

But the blurred hands, misaligned jumper wrist and strange top of the skirt all suggest that significant changes have been made. The image is a lie.

And well done for shoe-horning in a Harry reference, when he's not involved at all.

So… the future king and queen of England look as if they’ve been involved in misleading the public. Which inevitably triggers hysteria and wild speculation as to why - divorce, dying, face lift etc, and damages their integrity. When all they had to do is repeat the line she was recovering well and would be back at Easter.

The RF always involves massive overreaction - queen’s birthday, jubilee, funeral, H&M jumping the country - overreaction is what RF media coverage is all about. The palace comms team should know that and not fuck up to this degree.

That doesn't mean Labour invented spin, it's been around for millennia

Again. So what.

A misaligned jumper I mean honestly wtf has happened to people to even say these things.

Are you of the 'she's in a coma with a moon face and a colostomy signing divorce papers as we speak' variety?

Hey, I will indeed shoe horn poor me Harry in as it as perfect example of how they are all in the same boat mad theories wise, he's been dining out on stories it's only poor him for years.

Yes, Labour were the first to publically admit it went on

Of course the RF manipulate the public. They're called 'The Firm' for a reason. I can't believe this is even a question.

No but the point was the term spin and ‘spin doctor’ became more publicly known and discussed during Blair

Yes propaganda or influence is not new but as a concept people were more aware

And I think they used it particularly well which is a factor. They were successful at it

Since then we’ve seen other influential ways to do it

Another comms person who has become the news Dominic Cummings - someone who can help win campaigns with a successful method but became known to the public

I agree that the DM is despicable, voracious and misogynistic in the extreme. FWIW though, I heard on LBC that the tabloids were pissed off bc they had stuck to the “no pap shots” of Kate since Xmas, and felt that it had been breached by the appearance of the recent “controversial” photo(s).

Adobe's stock went up yesterday and it is being credited to Photogate. Maybe Adobe masterminded the whole thing. Are they planning on getting sold? 😁

Yes who new looking out of windows implied divorce was imminent. Look at your husband at all times. Look at him! Smile and wave lest you be accused of misleading the world with your dastardly editing.

I think we need oprah at this stage to get to the bottom of the cuff.

Nope, I have no idea what's happening with Kate and I have no theories.

But people don't make such photo shopping amends to an image unless they're making significant changes to the image, which begs the question what are they trying to hide and why are they manipulating the public. Are you of the head buried in the sand variety?

If Harry done done this you would be singing a very different tune.

😂 I have seen some posts along these lines

Lock your gaze on woman ;

Haha at look at him

Harry does it regularly with his hair. Oddly enough he gets away with it.

People can't have it both ways. Either the RF is doing a fantastic job and is vital in maintaining the stability of the United Kingdom and we'd be up shit creek without them or it's absolutely fine for them to be absent for months and mislead us in egregious ways- that won't have any impact at all on the country's standing in the world.And yes, it is egregious to try to palm us off with an undated composite picture.

If Harry done done this you would be singing a very different tune.

Harry and Meghan do do this a lot, including in official images released to the press. It hasn’t created even a tiny fraction of the current noise surrounding Kate, though. So for once “just imagine it was Harry!” counterfactual is probably false.
