Omg, I can’t! The glasses and the hair has killed me off!
And what’s going on with his eyebrows?!

Ali on his latest post cutting his shirt sleeves off a perfectly good shirt with a pair of scissors because it's more comfortable to wear under a jumper to go to the Badminton horse trials. Totally normal.
Who does this?!
Cringe.
First of all, he is just being ridiculously indulgent to just without a second thought cut his sleeves off what looks like a newish shirt. He is spoilt having so much clothing sent to him for free that he doesn't feel one less shirt that he is destroying for his own stupid video. And what is the point of not having shirt sleeves under your jumper? Sorry, don't get it!

Lydia’s latest “I don’t want a Birkin, I want the entire David Austin back catalogue” reel is basically a textbook display of label-obsessed consumerism dressed up as personal evolution.
Lydia’s obsession with luxury brands and labels is a pattern that she uses name-brand products where the name, logo, prestige and perceived status of the label matter more than the actual quality, purpose or value of the item. She believes buying into luxury brand names because the name itself she feels is meant to signal taste, wealth, refinement or superiority.
Lydia has not rejected luxury or materialism. She has simply changed the category. It is no longer Hermès bags, Dior, Chanel and luxury beauty launches, the spaces she once desperately wanted to dominate. Now it is David Austin roses, heritage homeware, country-house interiors and antiques, luxury gardening tools and plants, expensive greenhouse fantasies and anything that gives off the correct Cotswolds-coded status signal for this current rebrand for as long as it serves its purpose.
She cannot just like roses. They have to be David Austin roses. She cannot just enjoy gardening. It has to be framed as a refined, elevated, upper-class lifestyle. She cannot even support charity without it fitting the image. It has to be The King’s Trust, with the royal association and prestige attached. Even philanthropy has to come with the correct branding or why bother.
That is why the Birkin comparison is so revealing. If she genuinely no longer cared about luxury handbags, she would stop mentioning them as she does excessively. Instead, she keeps dragging them back into the conversation so she can position herself as somehow above the wealthy women and influencers (her competition) who still have the bags, the brand deals and the luxury access she desperately tried and failed to built her own platform around.
It reads as projection. If she cannot compete in the luxury fashion and beauty space anymore, she reframes that space as shallow, vulgar and beneath her. If designer brands are no longer central to her image, suddenly luxury brands and handbags are meaningless and roses are more elevated. It feels like an attempt to turn exclusion into refinement and rejection into superiority.
But the underlying behaviour has not changed. The need for status is still there. The need to signal taste and superiority is still there. The need for every interest, object, purchase and cause to have a prestigious label attached is still there.
The Birkin became the David Austin rose. The designer handbag became the heritage greenhouse. The luxury brand event became the royal charity. Same brand obsession, different costume.

This outfit is very "colonizer chic". She looks on her way to steal some land, natural resources, and/or babies.

Why the fuck does Ali keep saying “masculinity preserved”? He spends more time with a blowdryer styling his receding bouffant than a Southern hairdresser on Senior’s discount day and inhales more hairspray than a pageant girl. And that’s totally fine but he needs to stop acting like beekeeping or using a little skincare dropper to add water to whiskey is anything remotely masculine.
Wankiness preserved would be more apt

Lydia’s Cotswold reel has received several critical comments, including from people who say they are locals. Many questioned how authentic the reel was, especially the clean wellies, staged village shots, and polished countryside image.
Lydia replied to some of the comments, and a few of her replies came across as defensive or pointed, especially her response to the business account that called the post “nauseating.” Her reply back is quite telling behavior.
The attached comments and replies screenshots are being preserved here, in case any of them are later deleted.

Watching Lydiot prancing around in her ‘patch’ of garden is very triggering her me. I’m 74 years old, recently widowed and trying to sell the family home. I have two acres of grass to mow, trees that have fallen to cut, a pond to look after, a greenhouse, vegetable beds, hedges to trim, leaves to rake, gutters to clean, roses to look after, lifting rocks to make a rockery, brambles to cut and all by myself. I’m not saying this to boast but to highlight the hard graft and unrelenting slog that true gardeners have to do especially at this time of year. Watching Lydiot order Ali to ‘lift this, do that’ without doing anything herself makes me incensed. Sorry to rant.Her garden is turning into Jumanji

In today’s vlog Lydia showed the Dior name branded on the dress with her dirty fingernail no less = she’s read here.

No matter what she does on the inside to change that house but on the outside it’s always going to look like a GP surgery.

"This and not overthinking the caption"
I've got a caption.
'Here we are, the most totally insufferable annoying duo on the internet frolicking through the whimsical Cotswolds just for the purposes of an AD pissing off the locals'

Are these the same people?! I know the picture below was a younger Ali, but still!
This post came up on my feed. What is my social media algorithm right now?!
It’s hard to believe this used to be Ali’s mode of dressing back then looking like a doofus chav to now dressing like nobleman dick.
Are they silver metal spikes on his denim vest? A far cry from the gilet vests he wears now.
Nothings changed, he still loves taking selfies.

Yes, I feel the same, sick of them. All the usual suspects in the influencer space that attend these events are there for their own agenda, that aren't even remotely for reasons of the actual cause or purpose of what the particular show has to offer. They just want to be seen and show off their outfits and compete with each other. It’s the same cookie cutter clone.
100% Agree with this comment.

Where is this idiot going?! She's walking through the water! What on earth is she doing?! Pretty sure Cotswolds locals don't walk down the middle of the stream for no good reason.

OMG BINGO! Good eye! She is wearing this $71 DUPE! I knew the fit looked really off and not Dior at all. What a bitch and liar!
Just the collar alone gives it away! And the hem and where the flowers drop is so obvious. Does she think everyone is stupid? To make such a fish and rambling about Dior as a brand and feature it on her IG wall and YT is triple down shady and embarrassing!
If she’s proud to be paid to wear a FAKE diamond cloudy ring because why spend on real… then why not fess up here too?! (Though I am extremely against exact copies of creative items myself)
look how cheap the fabric and hem are!!!! She isn’t even wearing a nice dupe!
the Dior hem
