Who are they to tell us?

Harry and Dr Chris

The recent TV interviews with Dr Chris and Harry were dire.
Dr Chris looked in need of healthcare himself, frail and telling us to eat bananas beans and yogurt + vit D to keep healthy. He even had trouble remembering the good bacteria in probiotic yogurt.
Ruth Langsford, who was interviewing him, had to remind viewers that eating those things wouldn't prevent Coronavirus.
I really wish they wouldn't wheel out those old medics who used to be part of programmes years ago.
On another video I see Hazza telling, telling our government what to do regarding parents of mentally challenged children.
He looked as if he'd been pulled through a hedge backwards.
The caption said that he was Zooming with NHS staff and parents to tell them how brave and good they were and that the government should be doing more to help them.
He was talking in his capacity as head wallah of some charity or another.
Most comments said what a b*** disgrace he looked and he had no business saying anything about the UK, as he left his country, his parents, his military obligations and pals and his home and his wife hasn't even seen her father or asked him how he's doing in this crisis.
Captain Tom has done more than Harry could ever do. Not just money-wise but in his bringing together people for a common cause without any fanfare or fancy rigmarole.
Harry is a disgrace.

Anything Urm anything?

suziewoozie Fri 17-Apr-20 11:16:20

Or as my mum used to say ‘little things please little minds’

Nannytrace Fri 17-Apr-20 11:21:46

Do you think he is regretting his actions?

Nannytrace Fri 17-Apr-20 11:22:22

Harry that is.

maddyone Fri 17-Apr-20 11:29:39

I’m not sure quite why released the clip of the discussion he had, I thought they were fed up of media coverage and that’s why they left royal life and settled in LA.

maddyone Fri 17-Apr-20 11:30:29

....not sure quite why they......

Framilode Fri 17-Apr-20 11:32:11

I agree *GabriellaG54). Harry is now irrelevant and he should shut up.

henetha Fri 17-Apr-20 11:32:41

I think Harry will regret his actions one day, even if he doesn't yet. I'm really sad and disappointed with him, after admiring him and his open friendliness for many years.
And no, he is definitely not in a position to lecture anyone now.

The guidance was not at all bizarre re bananas. It is important for the immune system to be strong and 60% of the immune system comes from the `good` bacteria in the gut. Sadly to say that many people have not treated gut bacteria very well and there is underpopulation in the gut. Bananas and beans are pre-biotics ie they feed the bacteria. Intake of good bacteria is easy as was said on the interview, yogurt but to be sure it is live yogurt. Ignore the good bacteria in your gut at your peril

Poor gabrella, nothing positive to say yet again, so out comes the wooden spoon, much easier to have a rant than be positive

suziewoozie Fri 17-Apr-20 11:43:34

Exactly crafty. What amazes me is the size of Gabys fan club and the howls of anguish when she disappears for a while.

GabriellaG54 Fri 17-Apr-20 12:31:41

I have no 'fan club'. People either agree/like my posts or they disagree/don't like.
I welcome all views because none are necessarily right or wrong.
What I don't understand is why certain posters want to take a stab at the OP or anyone who agrees with her/him/they.
It detracts from the thread and leaves an unpleasant feeling.
I used to think Harry (and Meghan too actually) was OK but now I don't but I don't dislike him or her.
My view is that if you leave family and your country then you haven't much right to tell us that our government should be doing more during these stressful times.
They can't be miracle workers.
It's only my opinion and I don't seek to change anyone's views.
If small things amuse small minds then on, I'm small minded. Satisfied. You can call ma all the names under the sun and I'll agree as it makes no difference to me but it obviously means a lot to you to call me names.
Go ahead, spoil the thread. Make my day.

GabriellaG54 Fri 17-Apr-20 12:37:58

On some threads I'm accused of being too positive, no problems, no worries yet here I have nothing positive to say...hmmm.
There is no pleasing everyone and I'm not gonna try.
I'd just like to end this distraction by asking suziewoozie again, not to poke at the OP (me, in this case)
There will come a time when I get fed up and I really think that as a mature woman you could choose to read other threads if you don't like mine.

suziewoozie Fri 17-Apr-20 12:42:56

Two long posts basically saying you don’t care ...hummmm

Barmeyoldbat Fri 17-Apr-20 12:51:03

Suziewoozie, why are so nasty to some people, even if you don't agree with the post. You can't seem to say anything negative without having a snipe.
I actually agree with GG54, Harry is irrelevant now and I think there will come a time when he really regrets it.

Chewbacca Fri 17-Apr-20 13:29:29

Are you in an echo chamber suziwoozie? Why do you keep repeating posts back with the prefix really? confused

JenniferEccles Fri 17-Apr-20 13:43:38

Certain posters who continually appear on threads simply to cause trouble are best ignored.

Boredom will soon set in if no one reacts or comments.

merlotgran Fri 17-Apr-20 13:49:34

I agree with the OP. Harry does hypocrisy with knobs on.

suziewoozie Fri 17-Apr-20 14:53:02

I couldn’t give a flying fig what Gaby thinks of Harry but her awful threads about women’s appearances are utterly beyond any decency. And her comments about the doctor on here are snidey and more importantly misinformed - crafty is right about the information he gave.

suziewoozie Fri 17-Apr-20 14:54:25

If only Gaby ever had anything positive or helpful to say.....

3nanny6 Fri 17-Apr-20 14:59:51

There is some sadness that many have turned their backs on Harry. Mainly he has brought it all on himself and his choice of wife has undoubtedly made him lose sight of everyone and everything that was once important to him. They say love is blind and it seems so.

Callistemon Fri 17-Apr-20 15:06:44

I'm not sure who Dr Chris and Harry are.

Dr Chris who?
And Harry who?

I have heard of Ruth Langsford but haven't seen her programme, what time is it on please?

I agree about Vitamin D but we did get some more from sunshine this week; however we may need a top up after the winter we've just been through.
Yogurt (live) does provide us with probiotics which are also good for the immune system.

However this virus does seem to attack perfectly fit and healthy people too.

Callistemon Fri 17-Apr-20 15:08:49

Oh, I see which Harry you mean now.

I didn't see him.
Perhaps he still cares about us all.

Oopsminty Fri 17-Apr-20 15:15:48

Ruth Langford is married to Eamon Holmes. They present This Morning sometimes. Not a regular viewer myself. It's on at 10.30.

Dr Chris is/was the resident doctor on the show

No idea what Harry has been up to. I must have missed him too!

GabriellaG54 Fri 17-Apr-20 15:17:35

My name is Gabriella.
I couldn't possibly be misinformed. I watched the programme, I heard what was said.
Craftycat only repeated what the doc said and I didn't infer anything different.
As for my 'awful threadS' about women's appearances.
I mentioned nurses. There are male and female and other genders too, no doubt.
Mentioning weight is ok if you are slim or athletic, tall (not short...a no-no) have muscles (but can't mention flab)
So many people who take offence.
You mention threadS...plural.
In what other threadS started by me have I criticised the appearance of women?
There was one last year when I talked about a guy in Guildford bus station being a 'bit heavy' (acceptable phraseology?)
That's one thread, not threadS.
If you have some beef with me then get it over with. I'm not here to please you and you obviously don't read all my posts.
Might I suggest you give my contributions a miss.
There...now that's a helpful suggestion. ?
and I will avoid any further chat regarding your thoughts on my posts.
