Not about your decision to cut and run from your country and family.
Not about bleating that you feel guilty about isolating in a multi-million pound mansion in LA during Lockdown.
Not about suggesting to frazzled parents that they should celebrate the moment, rolling around the floor in hysterics. confused

But....When you made that call asking for money generated by your wedding to be used for feeding children during the pandemic, are you really sure it was the Archbishop of Canterbury who picked up the phone?? grin

Annie, I'm not just talking about you, my love
It's the whole tone of this thread

It looks like they are desperate to be seen.

Who would leave their child with a nanny to go out where they could easily be infected then possibly take the infection back to him?

Visibly clutching hand sanitizer is just posing and why carry the dog. Can't it walk?

Remember when you were young and thought that you could conquer the world?

They're both in their late thirties. They should have grown up by now.

The Lab isn’t lesdctrsined and the beagle is too fat,

Great car for an out of work couple

Sorry, lead trained

Jellybeetles Fri 17-Apr-20 22:38:27

Dollymcl, you have summed up perfectly this whole thread.

trisher Sat 18-Apr-20 09:59:08

Any thread about M&H becomes a hatefest for some posters on GN. I used to wonder about where the tricoteuse would have come from because I believed women were better than that. I no longer wonder, it is obvious.

Anniebach Sat 18-Apr-20 10:00:41

You have certainly added to it trisher with your views on
mental illness

trisher Sat 18-Apr-20 10:07:47

If you can copy and post anything I have said about mental illness which denigrates or blames the person suffering Annie I will willingly withdraw them and make a donation to any mental health charity.

Oopsadaisy3 Sat 18-Apr-20 10:14:33

No Trish you blamed the families of those suffering with Mental Illness, I imagine that you have qualifications to back your views up?
I also think that whilst we the Tax payers of the U.K. are funding H and M then we are entitled to say exactly what we think about them.
I also think that if you don’t like it, then you should stay off of the threads that are commenting on H and M, and stop bullying others who have their own views.
I wait to be reported

Anniebach Sat 18-Apr-20 10:14:50

Dysfunctional- evidence of family break ups where the children suffered and have spoken of this. Accounts of suicide attempts Failing to properly develop relationships- parental difficulties.

trisher. The above, you tried wriggling out of it by saying
‘Accounts of suicide attempts’, was not referring to suicide attempts . It was .

Anniebach Sat 18-Apr-20 10:17:09

Accounts of suicide attempts. One sentence.

Lucca Sat 18-Apr-20 10:21:44

Trisher. You should know by now that threads about H and M
Are forbidden to anyone who doesn’t slam them 100% and anyone who doesn’t is accused of being a fan (rather than just not fussed about them at all)
And before anyone starts on the “how come you’re reading the thread”. I read it all this morning as a distraction from the hideousness of covid19

Eglantine21 Sat 18-Apr-20 10:23:05

The most loving, supportive and united of families can have a member who suffers from mental illness. It’s not a result or a sign of a dysfunctional family.

It is an illness. Sometimes, thankfully, it’s something that is temporary, the result of a particular circumstance, sometimes it’s a lifelong illness that has to be borne with as much grace as the sufferer and the people who love them can muster.

Sometimes they can’t bear it.

trisher Sat 18-Apr-20 10:33:50

No Annie it wasn't because I have no evidence and don't know if the suicide accounts were true. Which is why I take an objective view of anything that happens or anyone involved.
Oopsadaisy3 I believe they are funded now like most rich kids by Harry's dad. It's what rich families do.
If you can post any personal attacks that don't question what is posted and not the poster I will withdraw them. As for bullying the personal attacks on me speak for themselves. By the way most people know I never report posts.

trisher Sat 18-Apr-20 10:37:49

Mind I do find it fascinating that simply because I questioned their attitude towards Harry and the conversation he had with some parents Les Tricoteuse are now attacking me!

Eglantine21 Sat 18-Apr-20 10:42:45

Sorry, but if you don’t have evidence and you don’t know if it is true, why even mention it? That doesn’t make any kind of sense at all.

You must have thought mentioning accounts of suicide had some relevance to your argument.

Otherwise you might just as well have said “Shaves twice on Thursdays” Something else unproven and irrelevant.

(I made that up)

Anniebach Sat 18-Apr-20 10:49:20

trisher you brought accounts of suicide attempts into your list of dysfunctional families, no matter if the alleged accounts are true, you brought suicide attempts into this.

You want to keep making excuses to keeping a disagreement
going. Why did you list ‘accounts of suicide attempts’ into this ? no fluffing around, just an honest reply , do you think
‘Accounts of suicide attempts’ belong to your list of
dysfunctional families?

coggie Sat 18-Apr-20 10:54:59

I think slagging off their dogs has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Anniebach Sat 18-Apr-20 11:01:15

Slagging off their dogs , saying a dog is too fat is slagging off
the dog ?

trisher Sat 18-Apr-20 11:19:39

Les Tricoteuse don't like fat dogs either A la lanterne.
If you don't know the suicide accounts then I suggest you google them. I don't know if they are true or not, I know what was alleged and I was asked for evidence that the family was dysfunctional. Up to you if you take it or leave it.

Eglantine21 Sat 18-Apr-20 11:24:15

Or you could just say

“ I still think you speak unjustly of Harry and Meghan but I shouldn’t have said that about suicide.”

trisher Sat 18-Apr-20 11:39:11

Eglantine21 if you choose to take it as being about suicide it's up to you. I was asked why I used the word dysfunctional about the RF and gave evidence. Any further discussions are just an attempt to divert the thread from what was becoming a largely unsupportable position for the Harry haters.

Anniebach Sat 18-Apr-20 11:46:27

Evidence of a dysfunctional family includes accounts of suicide attempts , at last, thank you trisher, for finally admitting this.

You are so wrong , but not alone, there are others ignorant of
reasons for attempts of suicide and suicide.

trisher Sat 18-Apr-20 11:50:01

Accounts of suicide attempts Annie these include how the family behaved. But I suppose if you are a supporter of the RF they can do no wrong. As I said an attempt to divert from an unsupportable hatefest which slagged off the families of severely disabled children calling them sycophantic. Really try bringing some measure of reality to the thread.
