Trump State Visit

[MrsLeonFarrell]

A space for thoughts.

My first is that being at Windsor might make it easier to host a foreign leader. Which then begs the question as to whether in the modern age we really need Buckingham Palace. None of the royals like living there and I bet you'd make a fortune hiring it out for events and tourists.

Whilst i find Catherine's coat dresses a little boring it makes sense to have a sort of uniform.

Treat others the way you’d want to be treated yourself.

i have no problem with anyone who wants to call me thin & attractive, my mum will take that too so knock yourself out.

Kate looks a bit smitten with him in return.

I think she is saying get me the hell out of here 😆

I agree. Sminter’s mother is dying. Let it go.

Hi everyone,

Just poking our head round to remind everyone of our talkguidelines as we've noticed some posts that are derailing the thread. Please keep the conversation focused on the topic at hand.

My mum is thankfully not dying, she is currently cancer free. An older relative is but they have had a good life and are at peace with it but thank you @TooTooMuchEverything

thank you @ImaniMumsnet

Her mum is not dying and neither is Catherine. I think it’s okay?

I’ve never looked at only fans but I think you mean ‘she sells images of her body on only fans.’ She’s not ‘selling her body on only fans’

My mistake.

@EmpressSisi It's not ok to repeatedly ask me to out myself on an anonymous forum when I have repeatedly said I have no desire to do so. It's a stupid thing to say.

And I have already said you can be angry at me calling Kate thin & call me, my mum & relative who dying of cancer thin.

This is a weird way to try and get a garden party invite! 😆

🤦🏼‍♀️you seem very intent and vested to lecture everyone else

most of us who are over 50 have had rather a lot of personal experiences with cancer. My mum, grandmother, both my in laws and an aunt all died from cancer. My mum at aged 50 which was tough one. I’ve had breast cancer and skin cancer thankfully both treated successfully. Cancer is very common:1 in 3 will get it , so most of us are more than familiar with how these diseases progress or are cured.

Please stop patronising everyone who has expressed a view of shock by images in that particular fitted dress, by explaining recovery from life threatening/serious illnesses as if you have some sort of special insight into “POW” illness…unless your name is Middleton or Wales or Windsor. 🙄.

@EmpressSisi I don't know what you are reading, where did I say Kate is haggard or wears a wig or has an eating disorder?

You’ve said close members have said the same, so it’s okay for me too?

Again I don't know what you are reading as I never said people said my mum had an eating disorder or was haggard. I simply said people commented on her appearance.

Let’s see if you have the courage not to report this, given that you’re fine with saying the same things about Catherine but can’t handle it when it’s said about your own family. Let’s see if this message is still here in a few hours.

Why would I need courage to leave this post here? 😆 Honestly it says more about you and your lack of comprehension & weird obsession with strangers.

Right now, it seems you’re happy to criticize Catherine and let others do the same, yet the moment someone gets personal with you, you get defensive. Rightly so?

Again I haven't got defensive at all. I said you can criticise me and my family all you like. I simply said repeatedly badgering someone to out themselves on an anonymous forum and not understanding why they would be reluctant is bizarre. It's not my job to police others either.

And if you think this is normal then I feel pity towards you, because no one should be speculating about your family’s appearance when they are ill!

People do comment on people's appearance when they are ill, whether it's right or not is not the same as acknowledging that it happens.

Why do you keep accusing me of things I haven't said? Why are you so angry with me? Clearly it's not ok to comment on outfit choices because I can't think why you are so offended by me that you have to resort to making things up.

I am compassionate though & have a lot of pity for you and hope you find some semblance of peace. Do you think you can close the fanzine now & stop derailing the thread?

For crying out loud, enough already. Life is too short to argue with strangers on the Internet (especially when it's not about the subject of the thread)

Some of the comments on here tonight are indeed disgusting. However much someone tries to defend or shield their post - with any story that can be made up - it's sick. You can see their intention clearly.

Yeah, it’s almost as if they want us to see right through them. 🤣🤣

Not that we couldn’t already.

Totally with you, it is repulsive to watch our Royal Family and senior politicians seemingly fawning over this repulsive rapist and wannabe dictator. I get that it's diplomacy but makes me sick that we have to go through this performance for a liar, an idiot, a narcissist, somebody who in any other country would be in jail. And the way our media is picking up his divisive messaging is truly terrifying.

Thank you @Limehawkmoth

I’m tired of these lectures too.

I’ve lost people to cancer. Losing my sister, a young mum, was devastating. I’m currently caring for my husband who has recently received a terrible cancer prognosis. Both our families have exceed the norm of 1 in 3.

I’m sorry about your mum. I wish you well.

I wish Kate well. I think I have a reasonable insight into what she went through being diagnosed with cancer at a young age and the fear of leaving behind 4 young children.

I’m tired of these lectures too.

You can refer to my post whichever way you like - it won’t change anything about it.

Im 67 and have had cancer. It was very rare and aggressive. Only 700 cases per year worldwide and found under the same circumstances as Catherine’s. We’re lucky though, not that there’s any real luck associated with cancer - if we make it past the first two years after diagnosis most of us will have seen the back of it.

I’m happy to be considered patronising when it comes to challenging the behaviour of those on this, and any other, thread who take part in the bullying/discrediting of Catherine by using her health as a means of attack. But I’m at my happiest when I challenge the behaviour of those who think they’ve managed to (and failed to) dress their posts up in a way that doesn’t look as if they’re as much a part of the goings-on as their more obvious bedfellows.
