Harry & Meghan announce that they stand with Ukraine

Im sure all decent minded people are horrified at what is happening in the Ukraine, including our Queen. Some people say it outloud, some don’t. We don’t know wether she has spoken to / messaged the Ukranian Gov leader.

Ah. I see that it’s now officially a good old fashioned RF Argument Thread
We always need one on the go!

What’s wrong with saying they stand with Ukraine? I’d be more bothered if they said they support Putin.

Well, I guess it give an excuse for yet another H&M bashing thread …

I'm going to hell as I did proper laugh

‘Seriously?’ you ask volver

No, not really.

Meanwhile Boris is waiting for Sue Grey

What? You’re moving to Slough Janejudge?

‘Seriously?’ you ask volver

No, not really.

Well yes, yes it is serious.

Two Minutes Hate. In the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), by George Orwell, the Two Minutes Hate is the daily, public period during which members of the Outer Party of Oceania must watch a film depicting the enemies of the state, ... to openly and loudly express hatred for them.

And the word hatred has been used about M&H recently, on this board.

going to move there then? no I didn't think so.

I hadn't given it much thought until Blossoming suggested it

Yes, yes I do know that volver
I have quite a decent education

Puckeridge, Jane?

volver when defending Meghan and Harry, why do you respond with the St William and St Kate jibe? It really isn't their fault when people criticise the Sussexes. Incidentally her name is Catherine.

Oh yes, I forgot, we're only allowed to be mean about M&H. And of course I'm not being mean about the Cambridges, I'm being mean about the people who hero worship them.

Why am I not allowed to call her Kate? Plenty other people do.

this is the advert so no, unfortunately I cannot afford to! it is by somewhere called Buntingford

I'm sure you do Fanny, no sarcasm intended.

Which is why I find it weird that you would joke about the masses being manipulated to hate people who the ruling class have decided are persona non grata.

Your are honest by admitting you are being mean to other posters volver , it was obvious anyway

Ohh, are there people who post here who hero worship the Cambridges?

Well I never.

Oh, I don’t know, volver, I don’t really give things like this a great deal of thought.

I’m a bit flippant, I suppose

I wish there was a flippant emoji.
I will have a little look…

Yes, quite.

Just a bit of fun, innit?

What I don't understand is why they are called the Cambridge's but don't live in Cambridge. Likewise the Sussex's and York and so on and so forth. Weren't they historically given those titles because they lived there? None of them seem to live where their titles are

volver
get over yourself!

lemsip

volver
get over yourself!

Yes, sorry.

(Not sorry.)

Please keep right on with your hating. Don't let me stop you.

I’ve always wondered that Jane
Especially the Devonshire’s living in Derbyshire

H&M are a celebrity couple, what else can they offer to Ukraine apart from a few words?

Biden is the Leader of the Free World at the head of the world's most powerful military - he's sent his prayers.

I'm not mean about H&M and I resent the implication that I am. You can call her Kate, I'm not stopping you or anyone else, just pointing out her name is Catherine. You could always try being mean to your stated targets without using "St William and St Kate", because there are plenty that use that jibe and others, like referring to Catherine as a "Stepford wife", in order to be nasty to the Cambridges.
