Absoluetly right about the “amicably” bit. Maybe I‘m over protective of KC3, but I feel deeply that he has it tough atm. I have to be excused because I’ve had a friend staying for the weekend and she is an ardent Harry and Megan lover. “Have you read Spare then, seen the way he was treated?” Grrr.
I do wish there was a reasoned synopsis (that wasn’t a book) that could be given to people like her to explain my position and explain why those of us who dislike them intensely, feel we have good reason. Thing about this friend of mine is that she is just so completely and utterly unaware of everything that’s gone down apart from reading and believing the Harry and Megan interview and his stupid book. She’s not the brightest spark but she’s immovable and I know she wouldn’t read Tom Bower’s book if I gave it to her.
Hey, just send her here!! I'm sure we'd be pleased to help her!
Thing is that the world doesn't really work in the way it's dished up to us in MSM propaganda in superficial, crafted and sanitised ways. There's a good reason that Waaagh won absolutely no prizes at the London Book festival thingie. (Apart from it was in the wrong category - should have been in the fiction section!).
I'm sorry you felt uncomfortable with the discussion about KC3 and his friends - that was not my intention at all. I see it as shedding more light on the Harkle issue.
The way he's chosen to live his life as inextricably bound up with the things like the way his younger son has turned out.
It's like the report that he took a case of Laurens van der Post books with him on honeymoon with Diana!
Like, who reads even one book let alone a basket full on honeymoon?! (van der Post was an advocate of 'open marriage' and 'free love' just as Mountbatten was, both advised Charles on how to conduct his life...)
I can't imagine Diana was happy about that, especially a few days after she'd found an expensive gift from Charles to Camilla engraved with their pet names on.
Then there's the constant covering up and the PR spin that the RF and their staff have been doing for centuries.
We all grew up believing that Haz was a great guy, a fun cheeky chappy, a smart ace pilot and war hero thanks to the cover ups.
What did all habitual covering up and spinning stories do to Haz, a not very bright man who has difficulty with logic and reasoning, and who's easily led by his emotions and other people? (his pa seems to have a bit of a problem with being easily led too). The paranoia that he developed is only too clear in Waaagh. He doesn't trust his family.
I won't get into the distasteful bits, but what I would say is a lot of the highly privileged elite have a different view of love/sex/relationships than we mere mortals. We have a s more or less intact moral code, these very entitled people simply take what they want. They're entitled because they know they'll get away with it. They behave as they want - just as long as the public doesn't find out about it.
What did that milieu tell a child with a limited intellect - an 'airhead' as his mother described him- and low self control?
Apologies, I didn't mean to write an essay!
It's true, you're right, Charles isn't having a great time at the moment, no one with any humanity would wish him to be ill, and we wish him a speedy recovery. Fortunately, he has a huge brigade of people to support him, he has chefs to make his special diet and his pastries, people to take care of every detail of his life - he's well insulated from many of the slings and arrows of life.
But there are very many of his country folk who have to deal with far, far worse. No treatment for months, no ambulances, no money, long waiting lists for care support....and idiot, troublesome families on top! As I see it, they could use our sympathy too.
I don't think you're amongst the Indians you'd have expected to encounter 
Although what are my choices now, given that I'm usually just working, thinking about crafting, spending time with the Pup or on here?
