There will always be conspiracy theories when high profile people are involved so your mother and yourself to react with questioning it is not stupidity. To clarify, I am referring to the years after the accident when these theories were particularly fuelled by the internet and the tabloids (themselves knowing it was rubbish). It was a golden goose being wrung out. Someone incapable of disseminating fact from fiction is, particularly after a high profile investigation eliminating any plots, is to my mind idiotic. There will always be people who believe it was an assassination plot. A plot which could have been stopped in its tracks by Diana wearing a seatbelt i.e. it is argued that she may have survived if she had a seatbelt. There will always be people who believe it was an assassination plot and won’t be convinced otherwise.Wow, I think you're being a bit elitist here. Superior people saw right through it? I can remember the day Di was killed and in the afternoon, I went to visit my elderly mother. The first thing she said was 'Do you think MFI did it?' She meant MI5 of course not the furniture store MFI
My mother wasn't stupid, and neither am I. The first thing people were asking was if it was deliberate. Once it came out about the drunk driver and lack of seatbelt most people forgot it and carried on. The conspiracy theorists of course had a field day. And there is stuff that's really dodgy about it. Not so much in the accident itself but how things were done after it. Questions that weren't answered. Personally I'm over it and don't care. But people who research the stuff are not necessarily stupid and unintelligent. The role of the tabloids was and is to ridicule conspiracy theories and tell everyone how silly they are. But intelligent people know that conspiracies litter history. And there are still conspiracies happening today. Whether the death of Diana is one of them is another matter.
TLR Don't be such an intellectual snob. You're on a gossip forum.

Not really.
She's scraped the bottom of the barrel and all that is left is Trevor Noah, and whoever that other bloke is.
And, seeing as it's the same censorious schtick about what people can and can't say it hardly matters who was the guest.
She is just so desperate.
Andy Cohen has a decently sized fanbase as does Trevor Noah. Together they could get her podcast possibly into the Top 20 in the US at least. But they won't. Just like all of Jameela Jamil's "large fanbase" and drama still couldn't get her a top 30.
Then the BRF bashing will get UK listeners to tune in and give her views.
It is all calculated.
But what I love is that she absolutely KNOWS her podcast tanked.
And dear God, she is cringey.

My point is that you might be wrong. I'm not saying that you are, I'm saying that you might be. Statements like 'someone incapable of disseminating fact from fiction..' Who are these people? Religious people? Trans people? Tribal people?
What if, it's you who is incapable of seeing the difference between fact from fiction? Again, not saying you are.
No one (including me) is as intelligent as they think they are.
Totally.
I mean, I haven't listened to it but I am Trevor and Andy aren't exactly erudite.
She couldn't find better men to interview?
No, she'd shagged them all and they stay well clear of her. They don't like what they caught.
And she named dropped "Glo, who is one of my dear friends" didn't like the RH franchise. Glo, who she met 3 or 4 times max...
I don’t think Scientology would take either of them
I was going to say she'd get higher ratings if that was the podcast...
But thinking about it....
I wonder what happened to her interview with Kasiopia Moore as she was supposed to be on Meghan's podcast yet didn't appear in any of her episodes and I wonder if she included men in her final episode because 1. The women were tired of the digs that she was constantly making and 2. Nobody else wanted to do the podcast with her and as a result Meghan couldn't find anyone suitable to take part in the final episode of Archetypes.

Of course I could be wrong. It is actually good to be sceptical in general but it feeds into the process of empirical evidence to use as proof/truth/facts. It is what separates the fact from the fiction, the evidence based theories from the conspiracy theories. Even the most successful theories in history could be wrong. I could throw something and I fully expect it will fall to the ground. Unless I ever see something not do that then I'll be satisfied that the theory of universal gravitation explains what I am seeing. Just like I am happy to accept the conclusions reached from Operation Paget and be satisfied that it was a tragic car accident. Now saying that, if some incontrovertible evidence comes up regarding an assassination plot and/or an establishment cover up then I am happy to say I am wrong. That's the core problem with conspiracy theories, once you submit them to an actual process then they crumble. Picking and choosing, selective biases all get obliterated once consensus must come into things. These theories then become subjective opinions. People are free to think it was it was a plot but the established facts simply suggest it wasn't. Al Fayed claimed it was a plot. It was investigated, scrutinised and his claims are baseless because there is (as yet) no evidence for his claims.

Tom was enraptured when he offered his hand to now Princess of Wales.
Oops , was going to say, after that, I don’t see Tom extending himself to the grusomes. At least not the Ho.
The free bag news is obvious PR to deafen the upcoming award mess and docu they don't want. Right?
"...look I didn't want to embarrass him but I thought it was funny to remember how things were."
But that was exactly her intention...
I've moved on, I'm a Duchess now and very rich, so I'll just sit here and remind you how I'm more than just a celebrity.
I dunno, I dont think the post was elitist or intellectual snobbery - fair enough for people to questionWow, I think you're being a bit elitist here. Superior people saw right through it?

Okay, once more with feeling. Sigh. I think you're missing the point I was making. You can sneer at the harkles all you want, that's what we're all here to do. But you don't sneer at every day people (conspiracy theorists etc) because it's wrong. You don't know them, you don't know what they're actually saying and if you do, this is the wrong thread to discuss it in. My point is that you shouldn't be looking down on and questioning the intelligence of other groups of people. It makes you look stupid.
And that's all I'm going to say because we're way off topic and I need to witch more about smeg.

You know when people keep using African American like a race card they forget it has nothing to do with race Elon Musk is an African American but nobody ever seems to remember it
Suggestion...change "Nutsedge" to "Knotweed"?My virgin try at title
Harry & Meghan #269: You forget I'm a seed, Nutsedge weed
"Japanese knotweed is an invasive species of plant which spreads rapidly and overwhelms other plants. It is the fastest growing in the UK.
It can grow almost anywhere and causes serious problems, including loss of native plant species, structural damage (it can grow through asphalt and some other surfaces), reduction in land values and difficulty in obtaining mortgages."
I guarantee they would lose viewers. my mom has watched the franchise for years also watched suits when it was first on she has never liked smog and would quit watching real housewives if they had her on it unless they were ripping her apartI have watched some of the housewives programs & I am not sure Smeg would survive?!
Whilst I am sure she would start off in the mean girl club, at some point they all turn on you & I don't think she would handle that
Harry & Meghan #269 Will she go from tiaras & champagne to a Housewives PR campaign?
Can't you just see it - Smegs is probably suggesting a new show to Cohen - royalty in California or something like that. They can cast Martha Louise of Norway, Theodora of Greece, Fred Windsor's wife, with you know who as the STAR! I'm sure they can find more former/wannabe royals hanging around and then off she goes!
What a disaster a show like that would be!
