You don't speak for anyone. But caring about "Meghan" isn't an issue most Brits care about. She's an American, living in America. Not their problem. |
Britain needs to have a conversation with itself about what the monarchy needs to do to stay relevant and keep its position. Making racist arguments about the country's poverty being down to immigration doesn't begin to solve the monarchy's specific viability problem. Polling repeatedly shows that 1/3 or more of Britain's population doesn't support the monarchy. This climbs a lot higher for younger Brits. So when you see that 70% like Charles, or something, usually that's 70% of people who support the monarchy, and a true figure for Charles' own support would need to be scaled down by 1/3 to under 50%. And the problem is only going to get worse as the royalists die out. So the monarchy needs to figure it out. |
So you want them to ignore the big problems and focus on the little ones because you're mad Harry and Meghan got the boot? |
Hit a nerve? Sure, we all know lots of racist liberals who blame immigration for the US' problems. Not. I didn't care for Meghan's show. But liars like you make me feel sorry for her. The photo showed the back of the cancer kid's head, so you could only see Meghan's face (and derangers like you tried to turn Meghan's face into an evil, calculating look, but whatever). You're forgetting that Kate was the one who used a cancer kid's actual face last year. And the Sussexes never said they want privacy--that's a lie and you can't find a source for that--they said they wanted boundaries and for the press to stop tapping their phones. Learn the difference. |
Stop deflecting and lying. We ARE discussing the monarchy here, we're not trying to solve Britain's 1/5th poverty rate (again, look that up) on an American mom's website. Also, the Sussexes didn't get the boot. They left voluntarily because the tabloid-palace press in Britain was making their lives unbearable and causing Meghan to consider suicide. So: Why are you caping for William when you're so out of step with Britain's own polls and economic situation? |
That is not exactly how math and stats work... |
I have no clue what the answer is. It may just be cutting ribbons. The late Queen said the royals needed to be seen to be believed, and she might have had a point. Maybe downsizing a bit. They don't need £25m/year. Maybe they open up royal finances to daylight, so we can see what's up with the royal gift shops and royal warrants, and what tax rate they're paying, if any. Maybe finding real passions. The public can see straight through the charades of caring about homelessness and the environment when the Waleses just claimed their umpteenth palace and fly everywhere in helicopters, including to a soccer game last week. And those patronizing quarterly 2-minute nature videos, put together by someone else while they sign off from the comfort of their palaces, are not it either. I dunno, but they haven't found it yet. |
OK. You tell us. If 2/3 of the Brits support the monarchy (1/3 don't support), and of those two-thirds 70% like a particular royal, then it sure looks like 46.2% (=.70*.66) of the TOTAL British population support that particular royal. Now show your own math. We'll wait! |
You're the liar. I just googled and found at least 5 photos of H&M and the hospital kids full faces. Apparently I can't post the link here, but it's easy to find them. They come up right at the top of the search. |
Of course you can post the pictures here. Click on the "img" (for PDFs or PNGs) or "url" (for weblinks) right above your post, making sure to click before and after your links. I mean, even if you did find children's faces, is that so bad? Your beloved Kate does it all the time. What about Kate using cancer patient Liz Hatton repeatedly, and showing Liz's face on the royal insta page? Also, surely the parents signed something. The Sussexes must be very well aware that one of their previous visits to sick children ended up with haters like you sending hate tweets to the sick childrens' parents. |
* sorry, forgot to mention, Liz was a child. |
Kate and William's fans here are dumb as bricks. |
DP. How does this follow? Because they’re wasting money on one set of people best to ignore another set they are wasting money on? |
Taking the titles away isn’t going to do anything unless it also causes mass amnesia as to who they are related to. The bulk of the entertainment market is Americans it’s meaningless to them to no longer be Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The mistake was not enticing them to stay in the fold in order to maintain control. |
How does Zara serve the people of England? |
