Kate is the sort that would metoo the likes of me by physically checking what was under the kilt at the frequent toff balls.

I think at St. Andrew's, toff balls are exactly what she'd have been checking under the kilt for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame our paths didn’t cross as they started just after I graduated. They could have been my academic children and would likely have turned out very different people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inability to use a stepladder, walking into doors, tripping over everyday objects................however, at least they would get to spend more time with everyday proles due to the amount of time they'd be spending in A+E. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parachuted (no pun intended) straight into an Apache helicopter? Who then went on to marry an American actress? The fact that the guy is still able to dictate his version of events to a willing ghostwriter is just about an achievement in itself… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I’ve not really been following this, but if the royal family is really unhappy with Harry then why not have a quiet word with his dad? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest is decidedly Meh. I just can’t believe anyone thought saying any of this shit in a book, was a good idea. Does he not have any advisers that are saying “This is probably a bad idea”?

Did anyone think he wasn't killing them? Harry wasn't in Afghanistan on a Gap Year. Obviously millitary loyalists would rather keep what actually happened in the War on Terror a bit quiet but I don't see why Harry or any soldier shouldn't speak about what they have done. Either from pride or from shame, they shouldn't be silenced. It is part of Harry's role in the Royal Family. If he wasn't a Royal would he even have joined the army? How does he deal with the fact he killed 25 people as part of upholding the monarchy he no longer wants to be part of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I have been following it that closely but has there been much fall out from that side of things, I would hope not as the British press absolutely love the war on terror almost as much as they have a raging hard on for the war on drugs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think saying they were like chess pieces and talking about numbers is pretty disrespectful tbh. It’s one thing to talk about personal experiences there and I am sure nobody thought he wasn’t killing people, but the tone and way you talk about it matters quite a lot I think. It’s the difference between saying “this is what happened” and the Taliban being able to say “This is what they think of us”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press just said that senior Taliban leaders were using it in social media posts they made. I don’t know how much impact that will have but it just seems really unnecessary to say it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
