Ham pr disasters 41! ..untitled!

Still interested, still not bored!

I’m guessing it’s passing on the Invictus values of, I don’t know, resilience or whatever. Most schools already teach that kind of thing.

Thanks blue! , I had a feeling you would have the answer!
so is it legit or just speculation?

I think the jerky movements are down to a coke binge

How is talking about death and life-long injuries glorifying war? Or do you want our children to be naive about the world? To think that war is like the computer games where people can start again when they run out of lives?

You’d have to be resilient to put up with that charade for an afternoon.

😂😂 true

😂😂 I'd rather spend the time in the Exclusion Room.

Who the hell gets VIP treatment in school??? Is that a thing?

We had CCF at school, which was taken pretty seriously. Granted we had a number of pupils whose parents were army, or were working in the defence industry.
Pupils did go on to join the army, but on the whole, considering the number who were army brats, I don't think a notable number, perhaps a couple a year?

It wasn't about glorifying war, I would say that if anything it was about the horror of war, but acknowledging that sometimes it is necessary. They were open that war mean casualties, losing friends, whether that was doing first aid or planning an "exercise", it was something that was talked about openly.
It was about team work, problem solving, and being aware that what we were doing was very much playing at being soldiers without the risk. Anyone in any doubt, who didn't take it seriously, would have felt the full wrath of the Colonel, and he was probably the main teacher that could have the whole school, plus the younger teachers quivering if he was angry!

However I don't think Invictus has any place in school more than any other charity who is trying to raise awareness. It certainly shouldn't be being included as part of the curriculum, and it's rather grandiose for H to think it should be.

And if war is coming, then telling them "don't worry, if you're injured then you can play in the Invictus games" is not really going to bring any comfort to children who are faced with war - it's just so far removed from their everyday life it's like saying they might live on the moon when they're older.
If you are wanting the pupils of today to hate war and work against it, then real soldiers, who have been injured and have a story to tell, would be much more impactful.

I agree it's very "Dulce et decorum est" without the critical subtext of the poem

I can see them thinking they are the big cheese when in reality public schools in that area are probably used to the children of high profile parents attending. Most High profile parents also want a normal upbringing for their children as opposed to special status because of who their grand dad is.

For Harry normality is the last thing he seems to want.

You only need to look at the long alumni list for the Dragon to understand why the staff would have no truck with a minor royal and minor actress expecting VIP treatment for their DCs. They will already have several pupils with similar backgrounds and potential security risk and be unwilling to create expectations of preferential treatment for other pupils.
i do think the changing schools after only 2 days because of school run issues is the most unlikely reason, surely the drivers would have tried out a variety of differing routes and times before giving up.

I feel the need to defend @RedTagAlan , I think I recognise the name from the Australian tour threads ( apologies Alan if I have confused you with someone else!) , I believe they like my dh were in the military and I understand what they are trying to say…discussing death and life long injuries are not glorifying war as long as it’s age appropriate, however whatever worthwhile intentions that invictus was set up for seems to have been co opted by Harry for his own interests…whenever he talks about invictus or military service…he is glorifying it and himself.

Ironically, if PW and POW behaved the same way as HAM, VIP treatment in school, ridiculous security demand, announcing themselves into empty rooms, etc, there'd be a referendum to demolish the monarchy

Because what Harry is saying here, to school kids, is that if you get injured while serving the King, my father, don't worry, I will pick up the pieces and make sure you are recognized as a hero.

Is that not glorifying war, to a young audience ?

🤣🤣🤣

I know, plus how many threads would there be on here?

If they did then he’s too dim to realise!

This is embarrassing - I'm not getting the red velvet cake thing? 😳

Me neither Lamar !! , it’s my daughters favourite…have been unwittingly making her a faux pas ? 😳

I dip in now and then. I remember the ozz tour thread, Can't remember what I posted.

My thing was the jam spread thing. You might remember my name from that, because I found the factory where their jam spread is made :-)

Hey, not that I feel the need to justify myself posting on what is now a high traffic subject. Just saying that is likely why you recognize the name.

Now. What I have not seen so far on these threads (I think) is speculation as to what the upcoming " As Ever, English Country Garden Range" will include. My guess is cider, or cider vinegar. Lovingly hand crafted from selected heirloom varieties of apples, grown in Royal orchards.

But actually, made in an industrial estate in Hull. With French apples.

I bet the apple picking vids are done and edited. Diaphanous dress and soft focus, bare feet tussle haired kids frolicking in the distance, happy flat capped men operating a 200 year old farmyard cider press, doffing said caps, and tennis stars in the country kitchen, learning from the master. The secrets of cider vinegar.

My guess is the Sainsburys deal fell through. And Tesco are not interested, because they already get supplied from that factory in Hull.

:-)

The Cat in the Hat creates chaos basically. 🤷‍♀️

Harry has spent too much time with Meghan.
Ive watched the school videos and all I get from Themis he has no interest in what anybody else is saying , only what he is saying,
He talks at people rather than with them.
It could be acceptable maybe if he was a genuis who had done something for mankind. Sadly for him he’s just a useless ex royal whose star is waning and who hasn’t got the intelligence and credibility to sustain any sort of ‘ public’ life.
Im now more and more convinced that the only people who support him are equally intellectually challenged.
Hes really boring isn’t he!
It’s rather disconcerting to watch how he doesn’t show any real interest in anybody -it’s all about himself/cheeky chap/one of the lads/oh I’m so funny et al.
Dull dull dull.

🤣 you could well be correct!! , all that sounds entirely plausible…I have looked on a forum on Reddit and a few more as ever launches have been posted, none very inspiring, so I didn’t bother posting them here but if you are interested I can screenshot and plop?

He was awkward and on edge at the black tie thing and at the school. I think he's just not used to being let off the leash (no MM or someone who has his back to point him in the right direction), and he's not sure how to behave so he resorts to grimaces and inappropriate gestures. This will not end well.
