I'm just curious if you can give a few specfic reasons other than what you read online? Again not one of my prefered choices, but the attempt to portray her as the anti christ is taking the piss. I think she's an attractive woman, not sure why it would matter otherwise anyway. So posting an Alison Pearson article of all things, I would thought would have been below you Dazy.

I don't think her policy positions in general are a huge issue. Corbyn's weren't in most cases but a good leader needs to be aware of the public consensus. Labour's biggest mistake over the last few years has been to consistently ignore what people said to them on the doorstep and no matter what you thought about him personally Corbyn was absolutely toxic where it mattered. Long Bailey is perceived as the continuity candidate no matter what anybody says and I just don't think she stands a chance in bringing the party back as a credible opposition. Alison Pearson is rank but I laughed at what she said. That's to my detriment and I can own it. Edited January 9, 2020 by Dazey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Harry be donating Frogmore House to the public weal if he is buggering off to the Americas, considering it was refurnished at tax payers expence, and has hardly been used irrespective of this decision? I cannot believe he's walking away from the greatest gig in the world. Life of second in line to the throne is such sweet existence. He could just bomb around the countryside in a land rover just doing whatever he wants. Hole himself up in a castle in Scotland for months shooting anything that moves and pop into London every few months for a photo opportunity with the press to keep them sweet. You don't get the pressure of actually having to do the main job. Which the way these royals manage to survive to these days is getting into your mid 70's to be given the really heavy job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally don't pay much attention to the royal affairs but this has caught my attention. I guess Prince Andrew likes it because it takes the heat off of him for the time being.

soon Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Looks like they'll be spending more time in Canada. People who could live anywhere they want have rejected Britain and picked Canada. Harry already looks like a lumberjack. Or the face of a maple syrup brand. Archie will have a blue passport alright - a Canadian one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not the second in line to the throne. His brother has 3 kids. If Prince Charles and Prince William die today. Then the next in line is Prince George. It seems to me that for Harry his wife is above everything else. I really think this thing has to do with Meghan and how she feels. Maybe Harry doesn't want to be a mere ornament. I'm not saying he is an ornament. But maybe he feels that way. Or maybe he is really fed up with the media. Also it could be everything. And he wants a new life elsewhere. My problem with Harry's decision is that he did it now. I think he should've waited for his father to be king. I feel bad for Queen Elizabeth in all this mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) He is 6th in line to the throne: (1) Charlies (2) William (3) Prince George (4) Princess Charlotte* (5) Prince Louis (6) Prince Harry. * Male primogeniture replaced by absolute primogeniture as per the 2013 Succession to the Crown Act. Under the old rules, Prince Louis would have preceded Princess Charlotte. Edited January 11, 2020 by DieselDaisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 In Canada our political parties, including the Tories, banned our right wing tabloid from attending their events in the recent election. So the nutters successfully sued their way in. At which time the various parties security started placing hands on the nutters. One of these nutters got so worked up that he ran from the security into oncoming traffic. This lunatic media outlet is bullied mercilessly by their 'peers' and is ignored by the political parties who only laugh in their faces. Our parties call the police on them sometimes. Thats the reasonable way that we ensure the safety of VIPs and the integrity of out media. Not surprised that Canada is seen as a desirable option for the fam. We don't let the right run amuck here. Ive no idea why you dont put yours in check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It has got nothing to do with the right wing though. They don't like the paparazzi, but whether this paparazzi is right or left is irrespective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
