Meghan and Harry doing some new stuff! Cooking and polo

[Geebray]

Being reported:

Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, Launching Two Netflix Series (deadline.com)

Meghan probably wrote the script. Her trademark is empty waffle using as many words as possible to obscure the fact that there is no meaningful content.

Who are these people doing the collab's for her lemons and jamjar freebies?

I saw a photo and the person titled it 'obsessed', with a fricking jar of jam. 😱.

They really are in the right place, all living on a totally shallow, sycophantic private planet, air kissing, ass kissing, the ultimate status seekers.

That video is absolutely shameless! I always think I've seen it all with H & M, but they just keep on giving.

Please someone, can I have a job where I get paid to give pious lectures urging everyone to make sacrifices while doing just whatever I like in my own life?

The absolute definition of virtue signalling.

But I don't think H & M are doing it cynically - I really think that H is too thick and entitled to see the irony and M is so hard-faced and narcissistic that she just doesn't care.

Breaking news ….

Ooh, actually, there is ONE topic that I'd pay to hear H & M (and especially M) lecture about and the title would be...

"What Harry and I* do day-to-day to live sustainably, use only our share of the planet's resources and show that conspicuous consumption is very wrong.'

That would be really interesting.

• as opposed to what YOU plebs should do

The last sentence made me laugh!

It really was and when people talk about things that they aren’t naturally passionate about, and they have a waffle ridden script in front of them, it comes out robotic rather than rolling off the tongue

Michael Palin 'In Nigeria' on now on C5, featuring polo in Nigeria.

The polo bit is before the break from maybe 20 minutes in, if you watch it on catch-up. There are clips on You Tube but at least one has been edited down, so catch-up would be better.

It's very interesting. Michael Palin meets Folarin Kuku, a 'Nigerian Nigerian' (and Harrow-educated, has UK citizenship, ex-British army officer, all rounder good guy), who was playing a Charity Shield polo match in northern Nigeria. The teams comprised Nigerian and international players, but the 'Fifth Chukka' was about the local grass roots.

Kuku is articulate and personable, and talks about his 'pilot' to have Nigerian polo including both elite players and locals - to have a grass roots in the sport in the whole country, starting with the equine-heavy north of the country. Not sure I'm convinced, for various reasons, but ...

Harry's been beaten to it. If I were remotely interested in polo - and Palin was astute enough to keep the segment to about five minutes max - then I would I want to see and hear more of Kuku, not the scripted prince.
