I do wish everyone had been there for Megan and Harry when they were having all the jokes made about them in the press

Maybe there wouldn't be a broken family here

Did you see it Baggs? A rather large feathery hat obscured Harry in the crowd

Quite. Be kind wasn't exactly the motto there, was it? It was more, stick the knife in as far as possible. Including many of those on here defending the poor defenseless King.

I think there is a difference between disliking, even criticising, someone's actions and mocking them for perceived physical abnormalities.

Quite. Including the colour of their skin.

Was that on Mumsnet?
Remind me not to visit.

I don't remember anything like that on GN.

I don't remember anything like that on GN either Callistemon.

Well we were talking about the media so...

Gransnet is, warm, not all important

Erm, not warm lol

And who ever said that skin colour is a physical abnormality?
Even suggesting that is sinking to an extraordinarily low level.

Red hair isn't either but having red hair certainly made my DD toughen up against the bullies.

Tangents, we have them

People's ears and noses or whatever are not abnormalities either!

So why poke fun at them?

QED

I have no idea, I didn't actually do it did I?

Mumsnet did

I just laughed and felt guilty for it

Then everybody lost their minds

Nasty, evil, bullying Violetsky

But we know why don't we

Nasty, evil, bullying Violetsky

Well you said it, no one else.

I'll score that 2 out of 10

Not very witty or intellectual as comebacks go

It wasn't meant to be witty or intellectual, just observant. Why so aggressive when I was agreeing with you!

In very poor taste, not to mention very puerile.
Many of the posters on the MN thread would seem to agree.

But one poster did ask whether MNers would prefer something ‘servile’ instead. So I suppose it’s impossible to explain to anyone like that, that even an ardent republican could find it in very poor taste.

I'm a Republican (tho' not an ardent one), and I found it in poor taste.

Not only that - it seems it's OK because Charles is a man - fair game... would a similar feature on a female be caricatured in the same way I wonder, and accepted as 'fun' by MNs?

It's the sort of jokey thing my son would have drawn on one of his exercise books. At school, when he was about 15.

I'm just watching Greenland and drinking mint tea

You are also checking person on gransnet I've never spoken too before

How's your evening going?

What a fuss about nothing!!MN took the logo down!!

Wish my son would get home from the celebrations, I want to go to bed!

It should never have been put up in the first place though.

Body shaming ! My brother had to have his ears pinned back at a teenage age, he was tormented so much. The procedure was so painful he did not want to have the other one done, but of course had to. It's pathetic that a so called adolescent site can mock a simple thing like ears. They must all be "Perfectly formed" on lala mumsnet.

Louella12 I can sympathise with you, about having the "pinned operation"

I hadn't seen this.
@gransnet - why did you do it?

Just curious.

Hi everyone - we’re sorry that the logo has upset everyone. We honestly didn’t think beforehand how it might go down as it was intended as bit of fun - but we take your point. In a world where people are being arrested for being antimonarchist, we think it’s important as a society that we can freely make fun of the rich and powerful but clearly we misjudged the mood and it was poorly executed. We've now taken it down

MN’s response was disgusting. Apparently making fun of the rich and powerful is ok now.
