Yes, the racist Queen Victoria who had a black goddaughter and the racist Queen Elizabeth II who has shown infinite patience with Meghan Markle-- pulling down the statues of those two queens had everything to do with those children didn't it? Let me tell you something we've learned in the US-- they don't stop with statues. They move on to burning down government buildings, commercial buildings, small businesses and people's homes. And they will hurt anyone who stands in their way. Let them peacefully petition for a redress of grievances like everyone else, or face the consequences of violence like everyone else.I can see the statues are being destroyed & l am disappointed that the RF are involved in this but the horrific abuse that was metered out to these children and families was so bad if the destroying of these statues helps to calm/comfort their relatives then let them do it. A few statues taken down by a tiny minority of the population is not the end of the world. The Queen will be her usual understanding self l feel.
Probably calling around to see if anyone is willing to spot him a million or two. It wasn't such a smooth ride to the airport; see item #4.Deffo gone now. DM clocked him being taken to airport today. Wonder what he’s been doing for 24 hours then?
I suggest Christie's evaluate a lot of what they sell then given the provenance of a lot of art etc. Princess Michael of Kent is ghastly. However. The brooch was of a Moorish king, widely thought to be one of the three kings present at the birth of the Christ child. Balthazar if my memory serves....although he is also listed as the King of Macedonia and the origins of the idea of the three wise men being kings is still up for grabs only being mentioned in the original Greek text of the Gospel of Matthew so "interpretations may vary"..... It always irks me that it is becoming increasing on point to denounce something without paying any heed to the history or/and meaning behind something. It shows a complete lack of knowledge and a knee jerk reaction.'Racist' brooch that offended Meghan Markle 'banned by Christie's' auction house (msn.com)
I've read most of the article now, so it was ok for Meghan to wear those earrings????
Oh goodness...not this "pregnant with Muslim child" piffle again. Al-Fayed tried to make that relationship look like some years-old serious engagement. Diana was only seeing Dodi for a matter of weeks from what I remember. And he was a well-known playboy at the time (and I can't remember where I read it, but supposedly engaged or at least "agreed to be married" to some suitable Muslim girl, not that it was public knowledge at the time). I've said it before, and I'll say it again - if MI5 or whoever up there were indeed told to get rid of her, they would have made a much better job of it, with no place left for speculation. As it was, she was in an Al-Fayed car, with Al-Fayed driver that wasn't entirely sober, not wearing a seatbelt...
But he clearly has mental health issues so no one is going to get riled about this.Don’t think has been posted already.
Aphid Scabbie has been shit stirring again…
Prince William's staff 'planted stories about Harry's mental health'
Omid Scobie alleges it was 'no coincidence' that William's aides at London's Kensington Palace began a briefing campaign against Harry the day after he appeared to confirm rumours of a rift.www.dailymail.co.uk
No.6's behaviour at his mother's event has blown a huge hole in his " pity me I am my mother's son Hazza Prince of Hearts I walked behind her Coffin " pretence as it was clear he couldn't give a damn with his hooting, ear-cupping, grinning and macho hands on hips pose with flapping crumpled jacket. No respect for her memory or the solemn occasion, high on cocaine or something, and his juvenile behaviour was very evident as was Wills's contempt.All the pictures are BackGrid. Looks like someone called the paps. So much for privacy
Well said. I admire the beautiful artwork created in the past by amazing craftsmen, sculptors and artists. The level of skill was far superior to anything seen today. I'm no admirer of the Catholic Church but imagine if the beautiful art created by Michaelangelo was under threat.Simply put plaques on "offensive" artworks and give them historic context, and the current thought about why they are offensive now.
The shown skill, and the work that went into them are not part of the "wrong" message, or the "wrong" person that is depicted.
The artist, craftsman.. was just someone that did their job, nothing more to it, a majority are just that-commissioned works.
Society for all its claims of being "superior" to our ancestors is reverting back to primitive bandwagoning of iconoclasti and damnatio memoriae .
I totally agree. That's bullshit. Kate was fine with him. She backed away to allow him and Wills to be seen 'together' to try to damp down the rift rumours. He wouldn't dare, he is a coward and doesn't do face 2 face. As we saw at the unveiling he plays the court jester or clenches his jaw to hold his anger in check.I don't believe that he was horrible to Kate after the funeral. I got the impression he was delighted to have her to latch onto so he wouldn't be alone.
Half of the articles on the express are rubbish and contradict other articles on there.
Just pointed out to someone on FB who said that Harry was grinning widely and William not and it speaks volumes that William was paying his respects to his Mother and left the grinning to being at a football match!Great new thread @,,cassandra and,@Chita very witty and well done.
What a disappointing shitshow that was as interesting as having an illness.
Ginger prick looked a complete arsehole and looked like he had St Vitus Dance, the prick. It proves one thing though he and the doxy are just right for each other and he is like a bad disease that keeps coming back.
William has class , dignity and statesmanship and we are all proud of him.
Wonder what venom will spew forth from the shit holes this weekend probably that he took the show to inferior William etc.
The RF were so right to have ignored the runt.
It was feckin awful in every way nothing to remotely resemble her and just a blot on a lovely landscape.
Still, they can play hoopla on it with the kids
