Porkies, Perfidies & Pomposity - Harry and Meghan thread 2

[YaMuvva]

I do not take credit for the title

First thread here

Shall we continue the discussion? I will not be engaging with the posters spouting damaging and unfounded gossip

Twitter has a lot to answer for, the woman who was doxxed had the post of Charles and William digging Catherine grave repeatedly reported. Not only was nothing done she continued to post the same. It’s only in the last 24 hours her account is now under review but still visible. I feel the same for Meghans children, I’m all for free speech but children is too low. I’ve blocked both sides who I thought were the worst offenders but you cannot out block the Sussex squad.

Post of the day!!! 👏🏼😆

You do learn how to curtsy though!

To the front then to the teacher and the accompanist when I was doing classes. Proper curtseys, too, not the usual awkward bob people do to royals. I'd love my knees and my back to be still up to doing it.

Basically many of them are not very bright people who are used like puppets by the masters above. Their use of language and terminology demonstrates that.

where did the OP go?!

Hmm. So Sean Lennon has said he thinks Harry's book is a load of old tosh and he gets death threats? Do they know what some mumsnetters think of Harry and Meghan? Good job posters here have user names to keep them anonymous, eh?

That rather sounds like you’re endorsing the threats!

That's why I don't use X any more....worst that happened to me on there was being accused of being a Russian bot. I assume that's what he meant by asking me what the weather was like in Moscow, which struck me as slightly pointless because a) I was in SW London and b) even if I was a Russian bot I might have been in Novosibirsk or Yalta with zero clue about Muscovite meteorological conditions.

I'm not chancing it with SS on there.

The problem with SM is that it's very easy to bang out something rude or offensive and not consider what you're saying or its effect - the person on the other end isn't real, somehow. Glad it's all over the news, perhaps it'll make a few people think. And not just the SS.

In the UK, someone has just been handed two suspended sentences, plus a number of hours of rehabilitation and community work, for making threats against JKR and Rosie Duffield on X.

Internet troll threatened to kill JK Rowling and MP - BBC News

Sussex Squad are a given stain on the face of the internet but...

Is there any explanation at all as to why Sean Lennon has suddenly decided to tread a well worn path a full eighteen months after publication of Harold's comic and despite extensive coverage since of despicable yet predictable SS tactics?

Lost 🙁

@CathyorClaire He had a slow day in Memorial Day Weekend and actually read it? 😁

It wasn't the curtsy I was questioning, it was the use of the term 'ballerina'.

They taught us how to curtsy in the Brownies. Just in case we ever became a Queen's Guide, I suppose.

"Sussex Squad...a stain"

What would you call the many anti-Meghan and Harry posters here that are constantly posting hateful stuff about anything that Meghan and Harry are perceived to have done/not done/ intend to do etc?

Its a circus on here. So many angry people!

I guess its only "safer" than twitter because its what, mumsnet?

I think you are reading too much in to that. I don’t think the poster was suggesting she was a ballerina in the sense of being Darcy Bussell. They meant like when a little
girl does ballet lessons. You will agree thought that she must have known how to curtsy. I did ballet for about 5 minutes when I was little and I can still remember. Tbf, it isn’t really difficult and it’s something imagine actors can do. In fact, isn’t there film
if Meghan doing a perfect curtsy?

"People are now advocating for a complete media blackout for the Sussexes"

Most social media interest/engagement re Meghan and Harry is driven by anti-Meghan and Harry posters.

A blackout will only happen when the anti-M&H posters' vitriol eases, I'm eagerly waiting for that day.

You obviously haven't seen the Sussex Squad on twitter. Mumsnet is like an episode of Teletubbies in comparison. No death threats on Mumsnet.

There's really nothing 'hateful' here. Plenty of criticism, most of it fairly justified. Certainly no accusations of the Sussexes digging graves for Doria, Harry having offed Meghan etc ad infinitum the way that the Squaddies carry on about the rf.

This is true! Just looking at this thread, # 2 of anti-Harry and Meghan opinions running concurrently with anti-Harry and Meghan Nigeria thread 4 soon to be thread 5 and heading to thread 7 by the weekend. By the end of the week, this thread will be on thread# 5 of the same.I also remember when endgame came out we had numerous threads, I'm sure we would be on Endgame thread # 20 if it wasn't for Nigeria 😅or ARO #30🙄 .

I don't think there will be a blackout anytime soon.These anti-Harry and Meghan posters enjoy discussing them morning, noon and night!

I have yet to see any relationship that the anti Harry and Meghan stuff come from the royal family, in particular Catherine who is the biggest target, the same cannot be said about Harry and Meghan, from Meghan employing Bouzy, to them then hiring him for the documentary, to feeding Scobie, personally acknowledging the Sussex squad and that’s before you get to the books, interviews and Netflix. If you put your life and others lives in print as gossip it’s no coincidence that you become the gossip. They are currently spending tens of thousands on PR in the US and Europe to be talked about.

We’d be on thread number 13 of a nice topic if it was allowed, but other people ruin everything.

If they stopped leaking and planting stories, most of which lack honesty, if they supported Invictus and didn’t detract from it with attention seeking pap set ups, “exclusive People magazine” articles and self serving speeches, then going on faux Royal Tours. If they didn’t pay WME for endless puff piece PR and to keep them in the public eye, then the media wouldn’t be able to have any content. They don’t mind the media coverage, but they want to be able to control it for their own benefit.

Oh look, we're back to 'vitriol'. I suppose when you've discovered a bright shiny new word, you want to use it all the time.

Makes a change from haters.

Thank you . Of course i wasn’t suggesting she was Margot Fonteyn ( I am old!) but a general term for a ballet dancer . Is that better @haddockfortea ?
My 4 year old DGD goes to ballet classes and tells me she is a ballerina …..
