The Columbia Tour

Shall we continue?

Harry and Meghan are there to promote Harry and Meghan and try to convince the royals that they're missing out. I am not buying any of the WEF conspiracy crap.

Indeed. Some people don't know the difference between fact and opinion.

it is NOT a fact though is it ? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some think she is attractive and others not so much. And let's face it you know nothing at all about their relationship and how Harry feels about his wife. Anyone who is in the public eye puts on an image for the world. How many times have things come out later that is v hard to believe because the truth in no way at all matches the public persona. ( I give you Hugh Edwards as a prime example )

Don’t you think it’s interesting that this is the opinion of people in Columbia? It doesn’t really matter what you buy or believe. It could be completely off the mark, but they are not supporting this visit and that’s the takeaway.

Speaking of Olympics, I wonder if they have a plan to insert themselves into LA 2028.
My toes are curling already 😬

I think the snag is that posts such as that one, which mis-title the person, are so obviously wrong on a British site (where the correct titles are something everyone just knows) that people tend to switch off from them.

If you can get something that basic so wrong, how can the rest of what you say be relied on?

(realise that might not be the case on a foreign site, but of course that does not apply here)

I would imagine that as Simone goes trotting by with the torch to light the Olympic flame, an exceptionally long Aquazzurro loafer would have her on her chin and a claw would have that torch grabbed before it hit the ground…

It's the opinion of one person in Colombia, and a popular conspiracy theory amongst the far right. I have seen comments from others in Colombia that don't support the tour due to the expense, it not really seeming relevant etc., which is more interesting in my view.

You are absolutely correct, I should have stated in my opinion....

"I should carry the torch as the world's top humanitarian, philanthropist, duchess and victim. I am looking at these Games through the lens of empowerment. I am truly a torch for the world, illuminating the darkness with my jam and fashion sense"

Well if it’s a popular “conspiracy” theory then it won’t be just the opinion of one person will it? There’s so many Columbias on x expressing their disgust at this visit. If I were to link and post them all I would take up the full thread. It’s not just one person. You seem to be missing my point but let’s leave it there.

@BemusedAmerican and @Mummyoflittledragon 😊 you are both far too kind, but thank you, and back at you for all your great posts So many brilliant comments on these threads that have me either nodding vigorously or spitting my tea out 🤣

I happen to think you’re pretty awesome too 😊x

There could be a role for Harry, if he worked with the Invictus Foundation and became some sort of asset for the Paralympics (in which there are always veterans competing at the moment).

Drawbacks: he doesn't seem to have any useful links to veterans' disability sport in US (the Warrior Games might have inspired him, but they don't seem to have any working relationship) and I can't actually think of any role he could usefully have.

I mean, I suppose he might hand out a medal, but that's usually done by people far more senior/experienced in international sport; (and that's the sort of thing that if you blink, you miss it - the Princess Royal, who has been involved in IOC for ages was handing out medals in Paris and it went largely unnoticed. IOC is of course likely to ask her to do that sort of role in 2028. But as she is involved with the main Games, that may leave the Paralympics as a possibility - the Duchess of Edinburgh is the British patron, but AFAIK she has no IOC role (and we have yet to see whether that's senior enough to do things like hand out medals in Paris, but I expect she'll be there supporting Team GB)

So my guess is that if Harry wants an Olympic role (and it's only speculation that he does), he's going to have to first find a role with IOC. And IG might be the only thing he does that is close to having the right credentials. What I'm less certain about is how much work Harry has put in to build the right kind of reputation to be considered for a role.

I do think the daft pair have got themselves into a position where they could be easily used though.

There's a lot Tommy Robinson and EDL supporters on Twitter/X too, but I wouldn't want another country taking their opinions as representative of the UK if, for example, the Obamas came to visit

Exactly.

It's far from clear at the moment what the Colombians make of the visit, and of its costs and any disruption (the security operation) v perceived benefit.

Oh definitely, yes. I don't agree that it's Bill Gates/WEF pulling the strings for some great censorship project, but absolutely they've made themselves vulnerable to be used by foreign governments

🙏🏾 😊 Love your posts too. Now we need to stop the love-in stuff or we’ll get a stalwart scolding!

Can you imagine 😱! Good point.

Absolutely. Unfortunately I think that these two only have an eye on the self promotion prize.

Anything untoward, downright damaging or maybe just plain dangerous just won’t occur to them.

The use by foreign governments was pointed out by Mark Toth months ago.

Many people in the US were unhappy with Harry over the aviation and Tillman awards.There have been questioning about IG finances. I, for one, see no role for him in the preparation for the US Olympics. For starters, the organizers want to make it a mass-transit only event. I cannot see H and M taking a bus or light rail. Or coping with standard security problems during transit.

The censorship project is being run by mainstream, liberal government. The Aspen Institute and DEMOS both have partnerships with Archewell for online safety (censorship) research that advises government both sides of the Atlantic.

Harry should be required to take a drugs test before he gets anywhere near an Olympic Games!

As for the (admittedly purely speculative) possibility of being involved with the Olympics?

That would probably go down as well as RayGun did.
