Thank God for the Google Camp's Climate Change Conference

Good point, Gonegirl

I think it's good that Harry has said they will have no more than two children. He's walking the walk there at least. Let's hope he's an example to others.

And God help Kate if she has another.

Merlot - We don't pay for their lavish, hypocritical lifestyles.

Really?!! If we don't our grandchildren certainly wil,l in terms of planet destruction.

It's a whole new language to me.

I thought 'woke' meant your alarm had just gone off.

Why Sicily? most named are Americans and why a speech on Nelson Mandela

Annie I think it is a term used to mean humility . Could be wrong though.

So which royal prince will be putting on some wellies and heading off to Yorkshire?

My money's on Prince Charles.

.............hope he didn't have any verrucas, or ingrowing toenails NASTY! as POTUS is frequently heard to declare!.......or rough skin on his heels, if you do have the latter Harry, CCS cream from Boots, really good I can vouch for it, run it past Meghan first though

Please don't give up Beckett. It was obvious that the thread would highlight the sheer hypocrisy of all of these "celebs" traveling in their super yachts and private jets to a climate change conference. You couldn't make it up.

What is a barefoot speech ? A bare brain speech ?

..........was he actually bare footed? I mean what about the "bear necessities" flip flops at least ethically sourced of course.

Barefoot speech bizarre .........and your point is????

Oh, silly me. I thought it meant he wasn't wearing anything on his feet.

Being hot in Sicily an all that.

Will someone please, please explain to moi, what a "barefoot speech" is I assume he wasn't doing a Sandy Shaw, if anyone remembers her, days when little old us actually won the European Song Contest, instead of coming last sigh! Anyway, I digress, if he was indeed bare foot, well nil points to that Harry! I suppose it could be said barefoot ties in nicely with carbon footprint, but somehow I don't think I'm on the right track with that

I give up - I was trying to make the point that I thought this was a thread about climate change, but go ahead and vent your fury at him and his wife if that is what makes you happy.

Beckett
This is the first time I have commented on Megan and Harry. But one subject that I'm very interested in, is, climate change.
The sheer hypocrisy stinks, not only that but it shows how stupid and ill educated he is to not see that this 'jolly' is soooo wrong.

Hypocrites day out.

Well said merlotgran and Anniebach

The man is a prat

Beckett, I don't give a toss about the others who are attending.

We don't pay for their lavish, hypocritical lifestyles.

If the Queen doesn't step in soon to put a stop to their self serving behaviour the recent complaints will gain momentum and if this turns into a Harry and Meghan bashing thread so what?

They're doing a great deal of harm to the monarchy.

Nice little jolly for the security detail we're paying for though.

Beckett, it wasn't my intention to make it another "Harry and Meghan bashing thread" I don't go on the threads that pertain to them, I'm ambivalent about them both really, I don't have anti monarchy feelings, or deeply pro ones for that matter. I mentioned Harry because he addressed what seems to be a fatuous gathering to my mind.

Jangran I take your point about farmers in Africa not being able to afford labour and depending on family members.

I agree sodapop but what about all the others who have attended - why no vitriol against them?

They are leaving themselves open to it though Beckett obviously not being well advised or ignoring advisors..

This is the couple who just love Africa. More than 70 per cent of the world’s poor live in rural areas, with most families depending on labour-intensive agriculture to survive. In these communities, there can be a cultural expectation to have big families to combat their need for extra labour. Usually, farmers who live off their harvest can’t afford to pay extra labourers and can only depend on themselves and their children. For them, a large family might be the only assurance for survival.

.........or maybe he'd just like to be quiet and stop lecturing keep his thoughts to himself. Enigmatic people, now they are the interesting ones! In the words of Kate Moss "Never explain and never complain"
