Nigel Farage suggests Prince William ‘sticks to the BAFTAs’

Who cares what that Frog Faced Twat thinks? I mean Fartage.

I would interpret his speaking up as caring and why shouldn’t he?

I hope she’s not ill though.

I agree with Nigel on this one. If he’s going to comment on one war he’s going to have to do it for them all but he can’t pick and choose he should stick to shaking hands

I’m happy that she’s giving us a rest. 🤞

I dont know. She has been absent for a while. She would have been all over the Starmer threads as well

Where is Grany? She would make a hoo-ha about it.

The statement William made was cleared by the government, and in line with the thinking across the HoC.

He was visiting the British Red Cross HQ and talked with those who had been involved in the humanitarian effort. So it was a comment within a context. And fairly anodyne.

Farage, unsurprisingly, has made a meal of it.

The late Queen made a comment prior to the Scottish Independence Referendum where she said to a well-wisher outside the church in Aberdeenshire, that she hoped "people will think very carefully about the future".

I don't remember Farage making a hoo-ha about that.

Whether he has given to charity or not is irrelevant really.

I wasn't talking about giving a few quid to charity.
I was talking about setting up charities to help under-privileged people and continuing to take an active interest in them.

Does he promote peace?

Whether he has given to charity or not is irrelevant really.

As heir, Charles became known as the “activist Prince”. But since taking the throne, a string of charitable donations show hints of how he might become the charity King.

Charles spent his apprenticeship making his opinion known. Before you come to the throne, this is more or less fine – the heir can even sell The Big Issue if he wants, as Prince William did. But this vocal way of doing things is not compatible with the top job.

What has Farage done for charity and to promote peace?

Was Charles being political when he chose to speak of
disadvantaged children in the 70’s

Charles founded the Prince’s Trust

Harry, The Invictus Games for injured military.

Prince Philip WWF.

The Royals have set up innumerable charities between them.

I thought the BAFTAS were just an excuse for glamorous luvvies from showbiz to enjoy themselves, self-congratulate and seek publicity but apparently there is a charity side to it, which supports talented young people who want to get into creative industries.

Charles founded the Prince’s Trust

I thought you meant the BAFTAS!

Yes, I know about The Prince's Trust.

Charles made a comment on tv just after the Queen died saying that, as the monarch, he knew he would no longer be able to express his own opinions but that he was sure that William would follow his example as Prince of Wales.

As long as he doesn’t contradict the U.K. govt or policies, he’s as entitled to express his opinion IMO.

Farage has become a windbag who likes the sound of his own voice. To remain a celebrity he needs to remain in the news.

Agreed.

I'd rather listen to William than Farage!

I remember Farage saying that if Brexit was a failure then he would leave the country. Why is he still here ?

I don't know who Nigel Farage thinks he is.
He hypercritically took a wage for being member of the EU parliament whilst embarrassing this country and his German wife with his insulting behaviour.
He then 'helped' take us out of the EU with a very small majority by supporting BJ with endless lies.
Now he thinks he can influence everyone to destroy the Tory party in the last election
To add insult to injury he has the nerve to criticise Prince William by telling him what he can and can't say.

Very narcissistic behaviour for a loud mouth nobody

William did not call for a ceasefire

No, he didn't. I should have said "a humanitarian pause in the offensive" which is the same in practice but can be done unilaterally by a power that wishes to show itself as humanitarian and alllow the opposing leader a loophole to agree.

Roundly condemning only Hamas, and putting no criticism on Netanyahu for what I can only describe as literally "overkill", just condemns all the remaining Palestinians to annihilation and genocide. In this conflict, someone has to nudge it into a different direction by showing humanity to the civilians.

I think that Prince William does have liberal and humanitarian intention. However I am of the view that he is being used as a mouthpiece of a government too scared to actually voice an opinion. He had to run it past the powers that be, didn’t he? They were probably glad of it! Incidentally, I think a humanitarian pause would be the ideal. Ceasefire!? To enable a terrorist organisation to rearm, with help from others of its ilk? An organisation that steals from its own citizens, has no regard for their safety or welfare and uses them as human shields? I don’t agree with that, unpopular as my belief may be!

William did not call for a ceasefire

Williams's comment on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict was humanitarian, not political.

The number of people (including babies and children) killed in the October 7th attack, and the destruction caused by it, has been exceeded many times over by the death and destruction of the retaliation. So have the numbers of homes destroyed and refugees bombed - many in the very areas they were told to evacuate to if they wanted to avoid bombs.

William was right to say what so many are thinking. It is time for Netanyahu - the leader of the nation with the more powerful armed forces in this conflict - to show that he is an international statesman and not just a tribal warlord, and announce that he is calling for a ceasefire as an act of humanity to the ordinary population, which he challenges Hamas to copy so that hostages can be exchanged and a start made on planning how the two communities can live side by side without aggression.

I’d ask how anyone with a bit of clout can watch night after night the carnage being shown on our tv screens and say nothing! It’s inhuman to say nothing.

I’m not a royalist but Prince William has gone up in my estimation today.

He’s stuck his neck out for justice and peace and I say good for you.

He’s a different generation and he’s probably learned quite a bit from his own life’s experiences.

The old ways were not always the right way.

This. Absolutely this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I can’t even imagine what William would have learned about the work of the Red Cross in the conflict

There are times when I believe it is
necessary for the monarchy to express a view in dire circumstances. Surely no one can deny the death of 30,000 people is everyone's business.

The late Queen was patron of the Red Cross, perhaps William
will become patron, his words about the Hamas-Israel conflict
was said at the time he was to visit it,
