Lol

A lot of what they said publicly was twisted by the right wing press

The Netflix doc is a superb account from there side - and gives a new perspective for those that was unsure about them before

I watched the words coming from their own mouths or read their own media statements lol.

Enough with the gaslighting already.

What exact words did they say that bothered you so much ?

It’s nothing like that. Good job you aren’t paid to argue for a living because you’d be starving to death.

You have suggested that people aren’t entitled to have an opinion on Meghan and Harry unless they’ve watched a heavily edited and plainly tendentious Netflix documentary about them that they were rewarded handsomely to take part in. Have you any idea how ridiculous that sounds?

I believe that our constitutional monarchy should have been replaced long ago as it’s part of the mechanism for keeping the people of this country in their place. And so I have no time for any of the over privileged, over entitled members of that particular family.

However, there is an interesting aspect to all this in that this couple have broken away from the cosy relationship between the media and the royals. Harry is part of a group that includes Elton John and Liz Hurley who are suing Associated Newspapers Ltd for gross breaches of privacy. I wish them the very best of luck in their case against this scummiest of newspapers. It has however made this particular royal couple a target for the media as a whole.

And as usual the great British public by large are lapping up the shite they are being fed.

He won't be able to answer that in a month of Sundays mate.

What does them being paid handsomely have to do with anything? Out of our own pockets, we paid handsomely to keep that piece of shit Andrew ensconced safely in his ivory tower and away from any trial.

But no, let's take umbrage with a young woman who says she was racially abused by an abhorrent institution that didn't like her from day one.

It has everything to do with the motivations of the film makers. The fact they were paid handsomely undermines any suggestion that the editorial output was objective. No media organisation is going to pay huge sums to end up with an anodyne and evenly balanced programme. They want a story. They want the story to be noteworthy and controversial. To suggest otherwise is absurd.

Your other arguments are complete non-sequiturs to the point I was making about the preposterous suggestion by @BlueHammer85 that you have to watch the entire six episodes in order to be entitled to have an opinion on Meghan and Harry

Do you agree with him on that? Have you watched all six episodes?

Because you clearly have an opinion on them.

I haven't watched any of it. And I'm not going to. My opinion on them has been formed after seeing the way the British press treated her from day one in subtly insidious ways, and the press are by and large an extension of the monarchy in this country. If a young woman said she was racially abused, then the decent thing is to, at the very least, sit up and take notice. Not just dismiss her and call her a liar. I mean, just the other day some random stuck up relic asked a black woman from London what part of Africa she was from, does that sound like an institution that doesn't harbour racist tendencies.

And my other point isn't a non-sequitur. An insecure, bitter middle-aged man hates on a cellular level a woman who claims to have been racially abused by the institution, he professed this openly in the press, but is seemingly nonplussed that a man of about his age from said institution has been accused of facilitating child trafficking and sex with minors. That's the kind of agenda Harry and Meghan are up against. It isn't a non-sequitur at all.
