You'll have to explain trappings. My point is, the majority of people in the US don't care about the Royals or know much about them. If I went out and started a conversation with a random person about something that was happening in the Royal family, 95 percent of the people would look at me like I have a third eye. I doubt most of the country could tell you who Kate or William are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bialystock Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 1 hour ago, Have some faith in Magic said: Andy Goram as well. I think there were a few others, Maybe Gary Mccalister but my memory might be playing tricks on me. I'm sure it was Fat Sally, Gorman and Billy fucking Dodds. Not only did they refuse to play at the original ko time, they then refused the re-arranged ko as it 'clashed' with her being interred (this part was private and not even on the telly)! All three of them should have, quite simply told, to GTF. The mass hysteria of the time was really something to behold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met a number of impressionable young women who mentioned that they'd love to be swept off their feet by Harry or William. The whole thing was a bit embarrassing, and made me realise all the more that we need to be rid of them if so many folk from abroad still think this is some fairytale kingdom where unelected mutants rule due to bloodlines and divine right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until a few years ago, I didn't have any idea what the Royal family actually did (and I may still not), but I know they don't run the government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 7 hours ago, D.A.F.C said: Tbh I think she’s manipulated Harry away from his family and planned this from before marriage. Will probably by divorced in a few years. I really wouldn’t have thought that several royal aides and workers would suddenly be part of a major conspiracy to gang up on her. I really don’t like the royal family but I’m calling bullshit on this one. I don’t condone any treatment or deny that they’re racist or horrible but she’s manipulative and cunning and played him like a fiddle. Something doesn’t sit right, dunno. Previous divorce, issues with her family, selling themselves to America. She’s trying to be the next Diana and Harry has bought it. I get that the media are on the royals side but I’ve not really got involved with it. Find it impossible that if she was really bullied to the point of chucking all that away she could sit there like that. It’s not ignorant it’s based on reality. Believe me reliving incidents is like getting punched in the stomach. You can’t just brush it off like that. The absolute state of that opening line. Why are you unquestioningly, almost willingly, buying in to right wing tabloid pish? Your language about her is very uncomfortable stuff. Calling bullshit on her claims because the Daily Mail doesn't like her is absolutely dreadful garbage and genuinely shameful stuff. 'Previous divorce'?! Have a fucking word with yourself. It isn't the 1950s. There are posters on here that are divorced. Are you calling them all liars and questioning their characters? Likewise folk who have fallen out with their families. Once again you've questioned that she can dare to smile. Please detail the exact behaviours people who have been bullied and have felt suicidal must exhibit. Please provide a list of expressions and behaviours they must never again, ever, exhibit, seeing as we're back to the 'everyone reacts the exact same way' stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until a few years ago, I didn't have any idea what the Royal family actually did (and I may still not), but I know they don't run the government. Probably depends on which part of the country too. Are you east coast? I was in the south-west, which is probably far enough from anywhere involved in the war of independence that perhaps generations have grown up with more of a fanciful view of monarchy. But that might be reading a lot into it. I know through family that there were people taking the day off work so they could stay up to watch Prince William get married. Mental stuff; it's bad enough that they gave everyone the day off here The main role of the Royals is to visit places and ask people what they do for a living. I think it's maybe some government thing to monitor levels of employment. Maybe the closest American equivalent would be the First Lady? Doesn't do anything and has people travel from all over the world to stare at her house, but is expected to hang around, dress smartly, and make sympathetic noises about topical issues. Only imagine if she also made billions from owning large tracts of land, looked utterly fucking miserable at all times, and ate out of ancient Bakelite containers rather than buy replacement plates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you didn't intend it to read that way and I'm only using it to show the double standards in some posters behavior. I know you like to take the piss but this one was poorly judged. I dont hold any grudges about it. It still continues, I'm constantly moaning but a hot lassie selling it to the news isn't because we hate the royal family or something. Also stop defending yourself that's not allowed. Just now, D.A.F.C said: Admin should have a record of it maybe? It happened and it was aimed at me, it certainly seemed that way.
