Dan Wootton obsessed with H &M

Why is Dan Wootton so obsessed and full of hatred for Harry & Meghan?

i recently listened to Spare on audible - purely because it was free and I was interested to see what he had to say. ( most of it was boring self indulgent crap imo)
predictably the algorithms have filled my YouTube with H &M stuff!

it seems there is a daily barrage of videos from DW about them, such vitriol from this man. It’s unhinged!
I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of theirs at all but Jesus he acts like they murdered his granny.
He’ll post a picture of one of them literally smiling and turn it into a massive conspiracy theory about smirking at the Queen on her deathbed or some utter nonsense

rant over!!!

How in god's name was the First Amendment comment/Harry relevant to this thread??? How is it 'on topic'? It literally came out the blue when posts before had nothing to do with that and it was all about Wotton's channel/videos

I'm bemused.

This is where you said “I’m bemused”.

I didn’t make anything up and would apologize if I was incorrect.

I know I said I was bemused! ONCE! This is what you have just said before

So nothing other than to keep saying you’re “bemused”

I just pointed out to you that I do not keep saying I am bemused! I said it once!

To indicate I keep saying it is to say I have said it repeatedly when I have not.

adragoncalledaudrey · 28/07/2026 13:49

I’ve tried to explain why it might be relevant.

You don’t think it is relevant.

I believe we are allowed to differ.

But for it to be dismissed as derailing to try to detract from a poster’s opinions is unfair and could be argued that it is stifling discussion.

Apologies as I truly thought you said it more than once.

Now for the love of all things, can we get back to the topic? If we can even remember what it was, that is.

I believe we were talking about Dan Wooten and ham!! , however frankly I’ve lost the appetite now!

adragoncalledaudrey · 28/07/2026 13:58

Ok.

Seeing as it got overlooked. I’ll start.

I still would like to know why H can speak about his hates/dislikes for financial gain without criticism and DW cannot.

adragoncalledaudrey · 28/07/2026 14:11

I’m feeling as though I’m channelling Alan Partridge again.

I will join in to get the thread back on track !!

For a thread that was very lively right up until this ⬆️ post, the tumbleweed since does lead me to think that everyone is actually now in agreement, DW and PH are indeed two cheeks of the same arse!

Just make sure you include the whole message from MNHQ refers to derailing of the thread and clearlt says to not derail it....#facts

BigWillyLittleTodger · 28/07/2026 15:30

Your interpretation of derailment is not the same as a thread evolving as threads do, which has been explained to you ad nauseam, just give it up or report @BemusedAmerican post and let MNHQ deal with it, you are causing the derailments and disrupting the thread yourself , everyone else has moved on, enough already.

PipMumsnet · 28/07/2026 15:33

Hi everyone,
We just wanted to pop our heads around the door to suggest that we now move away from the derailment issue which is derailing the thread again and get back to the original purpose of the thread: Dan Wootton obsessed with H&M.

@LipglossAndLies you are doing the derailing 🙄

I didn’t see MNHQ post from Pip, thanks 👍🏻

adragoncalledaudrey · 28/07/2026 15:46

I think some did address it as H’s statements being one off (it wasn’t) but possibly a lot less frequent than DW.

A fair point.

I still think that H received far more traction and financial gain than DW but in all honesty, it doesn’t matter if they both only got 5 bob each for it and only told the bloke on the corner.

Both have come out with what could be described as hateful statements in order to earn a crust.

I can’t see how that should single out DW for criticism and H being supported for doing the same.

If I’m missing something, I’ll happily concede but to me it all looks fairly factual that they have both been in the business of mouthing off for money.

DW has is own channel so of course his content will be more frequent, let’s hope Harry doesn’t get any ideas about having his own channel….… Dan Wooten Outspoken vs Harry Sussex Woe is me.

Justdancevance · 28/07/2026 15:56

Someone said Dan seems to looks at more than H&M so doesn’t seem obsessed. He’s probably as bored of their childish dramas as the rest of us.

adragoncalledaudrey · 28/07/2026 15:58

I’m sure there will be those who want to hear his take on life.

I wonder how quickly comments would be turned off.

DW I believe allows comments.

Agree. Also reach and impact are different as are financial rewards - all HUGE for PH vs DW.

Two wrongs don’t make a right tho.
