Hi Rascal
I hate the way some of the media encourages division in order to influence public opinion, and how it encourages people to sell their story in order to feed the voyeurism out there, and get the money rolling in. All under the guise of "it's good to talk."
Sometimes it is, but it should be in the right circumstances eg within an environment that is productive.
You know a little of my family history, as I do yours. Mine obviously influences how I react as does everyone elses influence theirs. So that's where I'm coming from when I react the way I do to H and M.
Families and roots are incredibly important. I do understand Harry in a way because he lost his mother when young. As did I in a way, for many years, from an even younger age. There's a lot of anger inside when that happens.
I managed to work through it and resolve it a few years ago. However, I was always mindful that it wasn't anyone else's "fault" and that family members invariably try their best when dealing with a crisis and sometimes fail.
Everything is much easier with hindsight.
So yes, my anger is his attacks on his family. I have no problem at all with his taking on the press.
I can't see any good coming out of this at all, and I believe it will do more harm than good to his continuing mental health.
And before any smartarse jumps in and asks what qualifications I have to back that up, I have none.
I'm just speaking as someone who actually cares about a father, a brother and yes....Harry.
