*Evil*?

A wee bit over the top, no?

No such thing for those who despise Diana and Meghan

Anniebach Mon 28-Jun-21 16:24:36

nadateturbe. You ask what is the point for having compassion for the dead man’s family , impossible to give an answer to that.

nadateturbe Mon 28-Jun-21 16:07:22

The fact that he was on the royal train with Camilla the eve of the wedding destroyed her self worth.

I didn't know that. How sad. Don't you think that's sad, Anniebach.

where was Diana’s compassion for that dead man’s family. and your point is?

Anniebach Mon 28-Jun-21 15:45:19

Thank you lemsip , you have made things so much clearer,

I had forgotten Charles left Buck House on the eve of the wedding, regardless of the thousands outside the gates, drove
to the royal train to meet Camilla , do remind me , where was the train that night ? Paddington, Victoria, ?

Sparklefizz we were not talking of her numerous lovers, i spoke of her criticism of a family’s choice of scattering ashes,
but have been compared with Hitler.

where was Diana’s compassion for that dead man’s family.

Dryginger I wouldn’t be surprised if the statue has angels wings.

The statue certainly won't be a schmaltzy affair, like the Harrods / Al Fayed one.
The sculptor, Ian Rank Broadly, is brilliant.
I am genuinely excited about seeing it smile

“I refer you to my post on this thread from 10:49.”

Exactly !

Alegrias1 Mon 28-Jun-21 15:23:30

Lucca

Alegrias you stand accused of being a Diana devotee ! I would put money on that not being the case,

So you put the case that Diana was not evil and you’re a devotee. What does that make those who make sarky comment about angels wings etc ? Bitter ? Haters ?

Sorry Lucca, I was just taking a break looking at my Diana scrapbooks...

I refer you to my post on this thread from 10:49. smile

Incidentally, I'd advise not using the word hate, people get upset.wink

lemsip Mon 28-Jun-21 15:12:26

Diana had an expectation as a nineteen yr old girl to be loved and cherished by her husband. She was humiliated on the world stage by the fact her husband didn't 'want her' apart from .. to make an heir and a spare with. The fact that he was on the royal train with camilla the eve of the wedding destroyed her self worth. However she fought back and showed the world that she was made of sterner stuff.

Ditto Alegrias

Alegrias1 Mon 28-Jun-21 14:55:44

No Annie, I think you might be a bit confused.

You said Diana was evil.

I said Hitler and Pol Pot were evil.

Being responsible for the death of millions is hardly comparable with speaking your mind over how someone was buried.

nadateturbe Mon 28-Jun-21 13:47:39

Surely compassion should be the name of the game.

Would you not agree Anniebach?

Alegrias1 Mon 28-Jun-21 13:45:56

Anniebach

Algeris1 you compare criticism of Diana with putting people in gas chambers ,

Diana devotee

No Annie, you did that.

Sparklefizz Mon 28-Jun-21 13:41:31

Annie If you are criticising and judging Diana for having relationships with married men, it takes two to tango, so surely those men are as guilty? But no, in your eyes, it is always Diana in the wrong.

Secondly, why are you not criticising Princess Anne who had an affair with her bodyguard, Camilla for having an affair with Charles?

Don't accuse me of "judging" you, Annie. I am most definitely not as I understand that you're not perfect, as none of us are. Surely compassion should be the name of the game.

With all the evil in the world, Diana would not be on my list.

maddyone Mon 28-Jun-21 13:38:22

My opinion, for what it’s worth, is that Diana was flawed. But I think we’re all flawed, no one is perfect, least of all me!
On the other hand, Hitler and many of his minions, was totally, absolutely personified evil. His deeds were unspeakable, but somehow he never got his hands dirty, and so there were thousands of others who were inspired by him to perform unspeakably evil acts.
I’m not aware that Diana inspired others to perform unspeakably evil acts. She was flawed, imperfect, like the rest of us.

Anniebach Mon 28-Jun-21 13:32:04

Algeris1 you compare criticism of Diana with putting people in gas chambers ,

Diana devotee

Anniebach Mon 28-Jun-21 13:29:30

I am judging Diana on her criticism of a person’s burial, yes he was another ex lover but she adored Hewitt straight after
Manakee was moved on.

nadateturbe Mon 28-Jun-21 13:08:52

eazybee

You asked Anniebach to list Diana's crimes, and name the harm she did, and she gave you her reply.

No judge nor jury about it.

Evil is definitely OTT.
Surely Anniebach is judging Diana's actions (without understanding why she did them. )
It must be difficult to know that people are discussing your mother in this way.

Dryginger Mon 28-Jun-21 13:06:32

It could be a statue of the famous picture of her sitting in front of the Taj Mahal. A bench was involved in that.

Alegrias1 Mon 28-Jun-21 13:05:48

Anniebach

No, not over the top in my opinion ,

yeah, right up there with Hitler and Pol Pot.

Anniebach Mon 28-Jun-21 13:04:10

PinkCosmos naughty ?

PinkCosmos Mon 28-Jun-21 13:02:09

Apologies if this has already been mentioned.

I hope the statue of Diana isn't of her sitting on a bench. Would play right into Meghan Markel's hands !!

Anniebach Mon 28-Jun-21 12:57:49

No, not over the top in my opinion ,

Alegrias1 Mon 28-Jun-21 12:54:26

Evil?

A wee bit over the top, no?
