The Princes and the Press

Josiane criticism comes well from Trump - the man who kept pushing in front of the Queen.

I think he needs to come along with me too. Exit stage right.
Next scene, At the Opticians. Do they have Rose coloured glass?

Just to clarify that was meant to be politicians! I'm off to Specsavers!

oops!
they might as well be Alegrias!

Are the opticians involved now? Will this never end?

Sorry Josianne ? ?

All these waders in, journalists and opticians alike, are only doing it to promote themselves anyway.

Yes Megan sued the Mail, won the case, then was found to have
lied, or forgot the truth !

I’m not surprised if Harry and Meghan want to sue various media organisations. Does anyone else remember how Kate Cambridge was treated for nearly 10 years right up to her wedding. Waity Kaity etc., and the flack her mother got too. Then, during each pregnancy, more c**p from the media because she was so ill. But she didn’t sue. I look at her now and think she is underweight and beautifully dressed. Was she advised just to keep quiet. Who knows. Now Meghan is made of different stuff and wants to call out those printing untruths about her and Harry. And now the dreaded trump has waded in. What an odious little man. Words fail me.

And now Scene 325, enter stage left yet another buffoon with his offering. Yes, you've guessed it, Trump saying Meghan disrespected the Queen! The whole thing is a farce.

No I don't, fair enough theworriedwell

I was thinking ^Alegrias should learn to read posters names properly^

I suppose it depends if you not reading posters names properly scares you as much as thinking I've got dementia scares me. Probably hard to decide really.

Do you have nightmares about it?

Last comment was to Josianne, btw.

I may have missed some of the conversation as we've been out out.

I watched it half-heartedly (whilst doing something else) and did wonder how often Amol would put on an 'Oprah face'.

His jaw didn't drop quite as far as hers in her well-rehearsed reactions but often enough to notice that this wasn't a totally unbiased programme.

I can't stand him Calistemon, well actually that's ok because I'm usually sitting on the sofa, not standing!

He is so rude the way he just chucked the newspapers under the writers' noses with disdain, especially Camilla Tominey.
And all that horrible bling! Thinks very highly of himself.

I've always found him rather annoying because he gabbled so fast and 'swallowed the ends of his words' when he was reporting on media, entertainment, events etc. So I'd be shouting at the screen "Just slow up a bit, will you!"

Harry seems really happy with Meghan and his little family. Can't we just wish them well and stop obsessing about them?

I’d love to do that but why, oh why, do they carry on with their complaints and law suits. If they want peace, can’t they just stay schtumm? Merit is sexist and demeaning, Sussexit is less so? For goodness sake!

It's not easy, is it grandMattie as they are constantly wanting to be in the limelight.

"Look at me, look at me"

"Oh dear, this is awful, the Press and public keep looking at me!"

I'll take the lines please.

Maybe the power of positive thoughts? Worriedwell has not got dementia. Ten times should do it.

Actually I did question myself even though I knew nothing about Hislop and his views on Scotland. I'm responsible for an elderly aunt with dementia, very advanced, and I'm getting paranoid about forgetting things. I even had a nightmare about it the other night. I woke up in a real state about it.

I've actually got a good memory for most things except names, never been good with names so that isn't dementia, or so I keep telling myself.

I'll take the lines please.

Naughty step for you then. Or should it be writing lines? I'm not keen on the naughty step.

Oops, sorry, that'll teach me. Read the posts properly.

Apologies theworriedwell

I didn't bring him up. He isn't someone who ever crosses my mind and I've got no idea what he said about Scotland good or bad.

But you brought him up...and told me what he said....

Which wasn't what he said...

I plead not guilty to Hislop. I never watch him.

Just wanted to add do you think that people seeing it as biased towards H&M might be because it was biased towards H&M?

Yes, of course. Or it could be that some people are so obsessed with the narrative that M&H are always the bad guys that anything that doesn't paint them in the worst possible colours must be biased.

And quite frankly, anybody who thinks that Hislop was saying life in Scotland is boring, is really not giving a great example of how good their skills are at comprehending the content of TV programs and the meaning of commentators.

No one could ever say a Scottie is boring, exhausting yes, boring never.
