Trouble is they’ve not got any one on shit patrol. If one of my friends or family were making such arses of themselves as often as these two do I’d tell them! They can’t have any friends.

I agree. Harry loves to sneer at the 'grey men' but it was them, and his much derided family, who were preventing him making a total arse of himself.

I can't believe they actually think they deserve to be listened to. As in, I can't believe they think that their contributions (to this or indeed anything other than being in the RF) are meaningful, add anything, say something that hasn't already been said by people who are actually qualified to say these things, are relevant, deserve headspace etc.

This morning my tween told me "you should definitely go to the doctor for that cough, mum, it's been going on for weeks now". She was not just factually incorrect, she doesn't know all the things she doesn't know (because she's my child and I'm protecting her), so she doesn't realise how misplaced her attempt to be kind/thoughtful was. She was also saying that while she was putting on lipgloss in front of the mirror, so heart not really in it. Thinking about it, this is actually a really good analogy. H&M are exactly like this, with the addition that the 'concern' and the lipgloss are all to make money (at least my tween, if she thought about it, really does care). There are entire departments of global corporations, of universities, anthropologists and sociologists, politicians and lobbyists, charity workers and social workers, people with entire careers in the field who know a million times better all the ins and about and intricacies and competing factors at play here. But no, Harry (I think it's mostly him in this instance) thinks it's easy and simple and all he has to say is "it's wrong, stop it" and he will have helped stop it. It's incredible, really.

They are American Royalty. What they think is very very important, and they want to share their wisdom with everybody. About everything. All the time. 😏

So true, except as a republic it can’t have a royal family besides which they are self-appointed. The self-aggrandisement is extraordinary.

I do wonder how many times Charles sits with his head in his hands in despair?

0 times.

He couldn't care less.

Too busy Kinging

Atlasvue · 13/01/2025 14:29

Why bloody release it today though?

Mymanyellow · 13/01/2025 14:30

I might tease a statement about something. Don t know what yet. I’ll have a think.

One day publicly parading through a fire zone. Then delaying their cooking show. The next day releasing statements about Meta.

They both need actual jobs.

Right? At least then you would hope that a company structure and board would mean decisions are strategic, well thought through and well executed.

Samcro · 13/01/2025 14:32

another day , yet another thread ripping them apart.

boredashellbythiscrap · 13/01/2025 14:34

I think some of you on here need "actual jobs ".

Atlasvue · 13/01/2025 14:35

We’ll come on, no one made them release that mental statement. They really do bring this in themselves.

PrincessAnne4Eva · 13/01/2025 14:36

Someone should send them Imodium for verbal diarrhoea.

Snorlaxo · 13/01/2025 14:40

They are criticising Zuckerberg for putting money before “kindness” when they earn money by being “unkind” to their families 😂

Getting TikTok banned in the US will be a major business opportunity for Meta and it’s understandable that he will kiss the ring in order to achieve that win.

myrtleWilson · 13/01/2025 14:41

Are they moving to BlueSky and Threads then?

Atlasvue · 13/01/2025 14:45

Threads is Meta isn’t it?

So just leaves Bluesky

The syntax is toe curling and clearly not written by a professional.

Who is going to read that verbose mini essay?

And how does one 'respond' to 'political winds'?

I tried so very hard to read it all, but just like @DoloresODonovan I couldn't be crystal clear what they are saying, and it began to look like they were repeating themselves too.

It's a classic illustration of how, if you can't express yourself clearly and succinctly, you probably haven't actually got a message.

I'm loving the tangled syntax though.

It's very wordy isn't it.

Perhaps if they themselves weren't so proficient in spreading inaccurate information it might be a little bit more meaningful.

I was going to say that it sounded like it was written by AI. But AI would have got the grammar right.

Given the profound global impact Meta’s decisions have on the world—of which many are still recovering from or actively suffering from—

So folks are "still recovering from or actively suffering from" the world? And why add in another preposition?

The Office of the Duke and Duchess is clearly short on staff.

the same way you respond to any wind. Just blame the dog - and preferably one that can’t bark back.

Atlasvue · 13/01/2025 15:17

Imagine if Malcolm Tucker worked at WME.

I think omnishambles quite accurately describes those two.

Is it wise for an aspiring influencer to intentionally piss off the most powerful people in social media?
