I was very relieved, when going to Waterstone's this weekend, to find the pile of 'Swan Song' (which hadn't been shifting at all from what I could tell on my frequent visits) had been relegated from a table just inside the door to the normal shelves

There’s been a copy in the window of the local Oxfam shop for over a week now, no takers at £3.99 😬

With respect, please stop trying to “shame” in the manner that you do. I wouldn’t touch Reddit with a barge pole, have occasionally looked at Tattle and then backed away very slowly.

I am not a regular poster here, though have been a bit more since they decided to come back to the unsafe UK. But I have dipped in and out to read before that. For the most part, these threads are ALL about what HaM say and do. Conspiracy theory stuff tends to be shut down pretty fast. If there’s anything that you feel breaks Talk Guidelines, then have at it as often as you can with the report button.

You have a rather patronising and condescending way of trying to get at people who post their views. If you disagree with views then, please, do make robust and reasonable arguments against them. Your not very subtle way of trying to shame, covered with a veneer of (in your eyes) oh so hilarious witticisms is, quite frankly, getting a bit tedious.

I am NOT trying to shut you down, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But your style of posting is making me not want to even read your posts because, personally, I don’t feel like there’s going to be anything worthwhile engaging with in relation to hearing a point of view that will give me pause for thought re my current view on HaM.

"But your style of posting is making me not want to even read your posts"

I think the strategy is just to scroll past quickly.

Can we move on please?

How about a derail?
I bought a multipack of Cadbury's Heroes today to give to my mum when I see her later this week. They're calling to me....
What should I do?

Eat them and buy another pack on the way to see your mum!

They can't even resist using this awful situation to promote their own image. It really is appalling . Just when you think they can't slip any lower they do.

If she knew her father was a paodophile in 2019 and apparently she wrote to him in hospital confirming she knew, why is she upset now ?

Because her half- brother broke the story before TMSr died, so she can't now monetise the posthumous reveal.

Rhaidimiddim · Yesterday 21:06

There was previously a suggestion that they would be going to Portugal for half-term, so perhaps they will be spending some time with Eugenie's family.

They can commiserate with each other on having a dodgy dad.

TheOvertGardener · Yesterday 21:09

@Rhaidimiddim why Andy/Vera/Valeriy call you Alice?

TheOvertGardener · Yesterday 21:10

Who the fuck is Alice? 😂

Sorry, got the song in my head now.

It popped up in my X feed, so in the interests of all sides-ism, I thought I’d watch it. Apparently, this woman raised $56,000 for Thomas Markle and spent years shielding him within the anti-Meghan universe.

Haters need to understand that, on the fringes of this particular ecosystem, there are some deeply disturbed individuals who spend an extraordinary amount of time online churning out and amplifying this stuff. The Reddit community r/SaintMeghanMarkle has 128,000 members whose apparent raison d’être is to obsess over and promote hatred of Meghan.

I’m not suggesting that everyone who criticises Meghan, certainly here is anything like that, or that all critics should be tarred with the same brush. But perhaps it’s worth pausing to consider the company you’re keeping. When you’re swimming in murky waters, you may find yourself sharing them with some truly appalling bedfellows.

As you are so well informed about Reddit you will also know there are several boards - at least FIVE - which deal only with attack on the Princess of Wales. Don't try to take the " l'm such a moral tripe shit person" here.

I read somewhere that Eugenie has cooled her relationship with H and M because of all the upset they've caused.

Is she "fleeing" to Aus to film junior Masterchef?

Eugenie wants to remain somewhat welcome at family events

Dontevenlookatme · Yesterday 21:16

Just off to the new thread where I’m sure we’ll be discussing MM’s (reported) move to co-host Junior Masterchef Australia.

KCitsweyourHammiewevecomehomenow · Yesterday 21:16

I‘m sure Meghan will be spending the mid term with Sunshine Sachs.

It's hideous. Nothing is off limits when it comes to HAM and headlines. I wonder at times, when he is lucid, does Harry ever wonder how he has ended up in this circus ??

AlexandraCarrington · Yesterday 21:17

Eat them and buy another pack on the way to see your mum!

Yes, this is what I've decided. 😀 I pass a Co-op at each end of the journey, so no problem there.

They do taste very sweet and sugary, as opposed to chocolatey.

On topic, Sean Coughlan on the BBC has written a sympathetic piece wondering if we've all misjudged M and whether we'll be nicer to her in light of these revelations.

MSM are pushing a new narrative for Meg. Not addressing what she knew and when she knew it. HAM will very much spin this as CSA advocates

@Rhaidimiddim why Andy/Vera/Valeriy call you Alice?

Absolutely no idea. And now I know she's a reincarnation of a SS hardliner, I'm not gonna bother to enquire. I'll be scrolling past those posts from now on.

AlexandraCarrington · Yesterday 21:23

I read somewhere that Eugenie has cooled her relationship with H and M because of all the upset they've caused.

In her place, I'd have dumped him after the way he described the matron in Spare, Eugenie herself having had surgery for scoliosis and being a patron of the Scoliosis Society.

As regards "upset" I suspect you just nailed it, Rhaidimiddim

It’ll be a performance for Harry.

Yep she will cast herself as St.Meghan saviour of abuse victims, the only caveat with that is apart from initial book deals and interviews it won’t bring in much money or fit in with her stepford wife image.

I think they are ok for cash though? It's constant publicity and headlines they crave

But she has known since 2018 (2019!!) so why is she getting upset now? Is Archie with the nanny, has he been left behind?
