Just watched the trailer for new documentary series which Harry and Megan say was inspired by their admiration for Nelson Mandela, Greta Thunberg and Jacinda Ardern amongst others.
They say they are " living to lead others" and want to teach us all to do the same and create a better world.
Is this the beginning of their foray into a political career ?

POTUS, it is needed to convince a lot of voters you are a nice person that does more than complain about others.

That surely doesn't appear to be true very often, does it?

President Carter does seems to be one who fits your criteria.

Yammy Yes, but it isn't the 19th century, hasn't been for over 100 years. you are referring to a time when children went up chimneys and 3 year olds worked in the mines, locked in darkness all day and women were their husband's chattel. A lot has changed since then for everybody

Prince Harry's marriage was one across ethnic boundarie, which are very common in most western countries these days. and at the time of its announcement the vast majority of people were delighted with it.

Of course there will always be people who have racist attitudes, but they are a minority and because, for example, you can find people in this country who are holocaust deniers, that doesn't make us a nation of holocaust deniers and anti-semites. That some people are racist does not make the country as a whole racist, nor does it make the Royal Family racist.

Isn't NOT criticising somebody because they are not a WASP as racist as criticising them because they are not a WASP

I think Harry would fit the term WASP but he has done the opposite of what most middle class men in the 19 century did if they could marry a WASP. Get her to come to England and their hands on old Colonial money, daddy's.i.e like Churchill's father.
I agree with you MOnica. If you decide not not criticise a WASP, it every bit as racist as criticising someone because they are not a WASP

Volver I do not see what Greta Thunberg has to do with Harry and Megan!

She's in the documentary...hmm

It's worrying; what else do you believe is true, that hasn't actually happened, just because of your in-built preconceptions? Moon landings? Vaccine hesitancy? That the Tories have got the right idea about running the country? That all our problems are down to the Albanians?

What on Earth are you ranting on about?
Nobody has breathed a syllable about the things you have itemised- but they apparently exist(only) in your imagination.
Get a grip.

Rise to what? If you can't explain your own post, where I suspect you muddled your put downs, that's not my fault. Merry Christmas!

I won't rise to it.

But carry on if it makes you happy.

I've only just seen this thread. It does seem from the trailer that M and H are just add-on presenters. It's going to happen though that some will assume they're being portrayed as 'leaders' too.

Volver you've confused me with It's worrying; what else do you believe is true, that hasn't actually happened, just because of your in-built preconceptions? Moon landings? Vaccine hesitancy? That the Tories have got the right idea about running the country? That all our problems are down to the Albanians? you aren't seriously telling me you think the moon landings didn't happen, or some vaccine hesitancy?

You say ^what else do you believe is true, that hasn't actually happened,^ then go on to list moon landings and vaccine hesitancy....??????

My problem now though is how to pronounce the title. I keep seeing it and pronouncing the live as in Live Aid and Lead as in the metal

Netflix is in a quandary they signed an exorbitantly expensive $100 million contract with the Sussexes, during the hype that surrounded them after their flit. At that time Netflix was riding high as well. More recently it has been reported to have lost over a million subscribers this year and is having content with drawn

I have so much to watch before we cancel our subscription in the New Year!
Will I ever manage it? Is it worth it?

Hoorah! Not just me then. I still stumble on reading it!

Zoejory Wed 21-Dec-22 10:27:39

I'm thinking that many people watched the show just to see what was said. To prove their point. One can't comment unless it's been watched

I've not watched it. I'm not really interested.

And I find Harry's voice a hard listen to my tender ears

Dearie me, I do confuse easily. I shall blame it on my brain and its malfunctions. .

I understand totally what's what now. Phew. Thank goodness I've managed to grasp it.

My problem now though is how to pronounce the title. I keep seeing it and pronouncing the live as in Live Aid and Lead as in the metal.

Hopefully that will also improve with time.

I truly read it first as Live as in alive and Lead as in piping. I thought it was the modern way of saying "straight to video".

Meghan’s aim is to be the first black female POTUS

How do you know that? Did she tell you?
