Yes he is vulnerable Fanny and his vulnerability is due to his own behaviour and his wife's and as you say being seen as a "cash cow".

Perhaps seeing how a good speech can be over shadowed,
H & M may start reigning Omid Scobie in. It does look as if their friends who were once so vocal in their defence have gone quiet. I think it's time Omid Scobie did the same.

I think it was. the fact he was blaming not just social media but the media in general. I think the media is doing well in trying to get populations vaccinated. It's those on social media who are drip feeding content about their perceived dangers of vaccines

Yes you’re right Lucca

His speech praised the scientists and criticised the dissemination of false information by anti vaxxers online
Both aspects commendable IMO

Yes but back to the OP…..,

Brilliant post Smile
I haven’t followed things as closely as you. What you say about Scobie is interesting.
Harry can be seen as a cash cow. He’s vulnerable isn’t he?

Oh dear. He has a mountain to climb I think, to get past the terrible way he's behaved.

The problem is, Omid Scobie just can't resist the temptation keep all of the nastiness and self pity in the lime light. I read yesterday that in the book to be published next year, he has a go at Camilla. The publishers apparently want any claims he makes to be substantiated including the naming of the 'racist Royal'.

Of course we don't know if that will be the case but based on previous behaviour, are any of us likely to be surprised if he does?

James O’Brien is currently discussing the prolific criticism of H&M on LBC

Last night Harry made a speech at the GQ Awards.
He presented Prof Catherine Green, and Prof Dame Sarah Gilbert with the GQ ‘Heroes of the Year Award’.

I take both The Times and The Daily Mail.
I have read Harry’s speech and it seems wholly praiseworthy.
However, over the shoulder of DH, I see that Harry has still come under criticism by The Daily Mail for something or other that I can’t yet grasp…
