Yes I am aware of all the sources and their motivations. As I said, I have actually studied this era. I don’t even read historical novels (like Philippa Gregory) because they annoy me. Yes, in Elizabeth’s time Anne was portrayed as someone holy and perfect, which is clearly nonsense. They had their reasons for portraying her so. The same can be said about those who demonised Anne, they had their own biases. I actually agree with you that RC was the religion of the people and destroying the monasteries, in the medium term at least, removed a valuable safety net in an era with no social security. I’m not arguing whether the reformation was good or bad. But it Is true, as I said, that a lot of corruption had crept in. Anne pushed for reform, but you put far too much blame on her shoulders for both what happened to the church and to Henry. Yes, she urged him towards reform, but he took that ball and barrelled ahead in a way that even Anne didn’t really like. Some historians believe Henry had a genetic condition that caused his mental deterioration, some believe his accident caused him some brain damage. Whatever it was, Henry became crueller, more paranoid, more unpredictable and cared less about good governance as his reign progressed. This wasn’t the fault of the Boleyn’s. Yes they were quite mendacious but Henry was a law unto himself, and they fell victim to Henry as much as anyone. Claiming that Anne gave head is just a slur.

I just saw this in the DM. Of course she's grabbing Magic Johnson's wife. Meanwhile, she is keeping her hands and arms to herself.
Why does she think her stuff would elevate any occasion? Because she’s selling it?
I don’t think it’s the title that gives her this delusion. It was there in her head way before that. All the attention she’s had since hasn’t helped curb it.
Meghan, brands that elevate any occasion are not your cheap nasty foreign crap. It will be bespoke brands, world renowned Brands like Fortnum and Mason, Harrods, Betty’s, even Highgrove. No one can compete with these brands anyway, as they are all well established, but especially not if you’re wanting to appeal to the high end market with these half arsed offerings.
If she genuinely wanted this stuff to appeal to people, she would do what Jeremy Clarkson did and produce products from her own produce. Not cheap tit imported from god knows where, that she attaches her labels to. Of course that would be harder work, would require her to work harder, and would cost more. She doesn’t want to do anything that requires tenacity and doesn’t give her instant gratification. For this reason, she will always be a pale imitation.
The husband and went to a Dodger game this summer. I was very fearful sitting amongst strangers who might have had concealed weapons that passed through Dodger security. Even a scarf can be used to strangle you! We didn’t eat any ballpark goof for fear of poison . ( In truth it smelled and looked awful and was way too expensive, just like Meghan’s crap). Every time the Jumbotron flashed us on screen, we turned our backs. We finally left at the 7th inning when our demand for the entire row to be cleared wasn’t met. Needless to say, we refused front row seats for the World Series.
*****parts of this story are true. Guess which ones.
I see the claws digging in......
People associated with the Dodger organization like part owner MJ take pictures with everyone. Tommy Lasorda would take a picture with an open door if asked.
TBH, their kids are too young and the seats are way too expensive.
Dare I ask?
And with Jeremy Clarkson’s stuff, it has provenance. You know exactly where it comes from. He charges a premium because it’s all locally farmed and produced. He doesn’t just slap his name on cheap imported white label goods.
I shall cast minds back to the heady days of no longer in a ‘bra’ but in an underwired bra for the first time. Which happened to coincide with the faux velvet/faux cameo/metal clasp of an alluring ‘choker’ Back in the days where we wore cricket whites and stevie nicks skirts with platform espadrilles.
my dad was captain, my crush was bowling……my underwire escaped and got stuck in said choker and everyone thought I was having some sort of fit as I couldn’t raise my chin away from my chest. Nope, they’d just fused to each other like huggy to druggy.
interesting point because the Highgrove jam jars state that ingredients are imported! You mean oranges don’t grow in England?
That's all very well, until they're one scorer short and your husband drags you in to do it!The village cricket matches are fabulous though!!! A picnic, a blanket and a good book - you can just glance at the players every so often when there is a bit of an exciting noise arising and admire the view, or have a chat with friends - but otherwise several hours spent reading in a (usually) beautiful setting! I love it
Forgive me for thinking the trauma was that you'd lost your knickers again (only this time in the cricket pavilion instead of on top of the rugby club goalposts.)
Well, yes…he is still Jeremy Clarkson after all!And calls his candle 'smells like my balls'
This video isn't new.
Currently laughing my (underwired) bits off
. Very funny now, but I bet it was mortifying at the time!Poor you....did the crush come to the rescue??
"hot todger spices" you say??
Perhaps she should see if Marcus wants to buy some for Soho House
I have a friend that uses a local farm shop because all the stuff is grown locally.
I keep looking for the orange and banana trees but haven’t seen them yet.
Its a surefire way of dying by suicide. It happens regularly enough.."Sure he went to the slurrypit...on his own!"
