I thought this. It had slowed the thread down and wondered if that was the point if these comments.I really do hope this thread doesn’t turn into something I don’t know what….It seems there are a few people who are hellbent on making this thread turn sour. I don’t know how many times I need to say this, but we will NEVER always agree with the opinions written on this site. It goes with the territory. I’m now noticing some passive aggressive behaviour, and just a few people focused on proving other people wrong all the time. And now, we are insinuating that there is racism going on I am a black woman! I have never wanted a tan before, and that’s why I questioned why Saf would. I think Ash’s beard does resemble “pubes” it is very unkempt looking, and I am not sure it suits him really. I never once read this description as a slur against black people. And don’t all beards look like pubes really? I actually think people take critical race theory way too far, but that’s another thread, and THAT is my opinion.
Happy Saturday!
Ash’s beard looks a horrible bleeping mess.
Grieving or not, I think their behaviour is repugnant and they need to be held accountable.
He’s still full of tit but his stories and speeches are beginning to be better crafted to illicit sympathy and stall criticism. He deletes, lies, bullies, rewrites the truth and that’s the behaviour we can see! My criticism of him is nothing to do with racism and everything to do with him lacking transparency, avoiding the issue of salaries, his relentless glory seeking and lack of understanding, compassion and humility.
He isn’t the person to change awareness of child cancer, not if his last two glory tours are his blueprint. They need to give that money to hospices/Macmillan/Grief encounter/Winstons Wish/Clic Sargeant/Teenage Cancer Trust etc etc and grieve in private. This charade of changing the world of paediatric cancer - finding new cures and treatments is at best misguided, and at worst deceitful. New treatments take tens of millions, if not more, and years to develop and test.
He’s trying to out run and out shine the grief. And that’s impossible. He’d do better to stop and let it find him and just feel it. Because he’s feeling it anyway, he’s just trying to dodge and dilute it. Grief does not disappear, it’s something you have to learn to live with. You have to go through it eventually. Feel it whilst you have support and sympathy and other people going through it too.
