Has anyone watched the Netflix series?

If so, views?

My response is to ignore pretty much anything related to the royals especially Harry and Megan.

The fact that their series just so happened to be released the day after they collected awards for promoting anti racism and mental health awareness pretty much confirmed to me that they're piggy backing off important causes for their own self interest. The choreography couldn't be more blatant. Their series is probably just an extended Jeremy Kyle show for the self entitled.

The fact that many people can't put heating on or feed their families puts their 'problems' into perspective.

Yeah, it's just a soap opera
M/billionaires who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire

Don't get why people care so much - it's absolutely everywhere atm, can't escape the he said she said of it
Go watch Hollyoaks or something

Nothing the plebs love more than a nice big royal scandal to take sides on. I found it amazing how the likes of the Mail are just doing royal news front and centre every week for years on end (pushed off by major news like a tsunami at times). It seems a large chunk of the dribbling peasants lap this nonsense up.

 

[Welsh Exile]

At least they're **** talking the firm and the right wing media so that in itself makes it far superior to the Crown or whatever Royal propaganda there usually is. Not that I'll be watching this Netflix ********

It's also really funny watching people get all upset over it as well. Saw some guy ring the radio in saying how Meghan is a nasty piece of work because she reminds him of his ex. Lol.

Energy secretary Grant Shapps has shared energy saving tips while giving a tour of his house.

Finally the Conservative party are helping people with the energy crisis

Ah yes, a person who gets the taxpayer to pay their energy bills and as part of the government that ended the subsidies for green energy and insulating homes, who have burdened the country with debt and massive energy bills to protect the profits of their chums in the energy sector, telling us how to save money.

Admittedly it's a no win for him but they have repeatedly taken actions or done nothing, which has caused the situation to get worse, and now are essentially attempting to shift the blame to everyone but themselves, including the final consumer for not being efficient enough. You can guarantee not a single MP will be cold this year whilst I'm roughing it out as long as possible with literally NO central heating wearing 4 layers and doubling up on socks, skipping showers, turned the maximum heating temp on my boiler right down, eating more cold foods, turning off absolutely everything, just to cut costs.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

JRM - as long as I say it in my posh voice and I a calm manner I will make sense and win the argument.

Wonder how they intend to "stop the boats"? Are we going to be ramming and sinking them now? Nothing short of force will stop it so just how far are they willing to go, or will we instead just arrest them as soon as they get to shore and then ship them out again immediately?

Been watching Narco's this weekend its the usual problem when someone already faces the possibility of death and willing to die to get what they want how will any deterrent ever work?

Those Jeremy Clarkson comments re Meghan Markie were pretty wild. Never been a fan of him but even by his standards that was pretty low.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Jeremy Clarkson is one of those figures that really drills it into me that I don't understand British culture. How can such a privileged, posh, boreish lout be looked up to so much by working class people?

They have nothing in common with him and I reckon he detests them in reality. And yet, because he says things others wouldn't dare to....

They like cars.

That's all I've got.

[Which Tyler]

Did he really think that, because it's depicted in GoT, that makes it okay to "wish" on someone? Whilst explicitly hating this person more than he hates Rose West!!
So, I assume it's now fine to tell people you fantasise about throwing kids out of high windows, or smashing someone's head in while telling then you've murdered their sister and her children?
Or fantasise about tying a woman to a bed and shooting her full of crossbow bolts?

Or if we return to the books, it's now cool to talk about wanting to rape female barstaff?

Jan 6th committee has set out the recommended criminal cases to be brought against Trump by the DoJ. The fact the guy was president must not be a shield for what he has done. For too long he has not faced the consequences for his criminality. The ******* must go down or the USA can kiss goodbye to any semblance of justice.
