On and On About Harry & Meghan Part 4

[Week]

I went out for a short walk this morning. It was a bit cool, but glorious to touch some grass. Highly recommended for some folks in this thread.

[Deadlines? What Deadlines?]

Hmm.

I don’t know if this true or not, but it wouldn’t surprise me. I’m also pretty sure I’d have no problem breaking a few traffic laws for $60k. But hey, if the paparazzi are known for anything it’s restraint, right?

are we still trying to parse the difference between “chased and “followed”? If so I can take a day off from this thread until that’s sorted. Maybe I could do some laundry or go for a nice walk.

Yeah, it's a bunch of nonsense.

This looks 100% legit

Oh my gawd, their fucking lawn is newsworthy. Fuck me the English are weird.

Wait, it’ll get worse, next there will be rumours about tabloids bugging phones and stuff like that, and you and I can sit back rolling our eyes at the idiotic credulity of everyone whose flagpole doesn’t rise upon hearing the national anthem.

Happy 5th anniversary to the happy couple BTW.

There's a big difference between saying something doesn't look legit and saying something isn't plausible. It's not that the press wouldn't, its that this is hardly evidence.

That’s why I said, “I don’t know if this is true or not…” You guys must have me confused with the fella who likes to repeat himself.

Seconds later they were in hot pursuit, following Diana through red lights, driving down the wrong side of a traffic island and accelerating in front of trucks, until she began turning into the entrance of Kensington Palace. Harvey leapt from the vehicle, camera in hand, and dived across the bonnet of the car, firing his camera at the Audi as it disappeared from sight. “Please, please, let that picture be sharp,” he prayed.

Quote

The Princess of Wales steadily became the most photographed person in the world, with paparazzi offered up to £500,000 ($656,000) for even grainy pictures of her (she steadily gained the nickname in the industry of ‘the Princess of Sales’). One of her most famous pursuers, Jason Fraser, made in excess of £1 million($1.3m) from selling photos of Diana with Dodi Fayed.

I mean someone on Twitter with ‘team H and M’ on their profile, posts a badly shopped photo of someone’s tweet with no link to the original tweet.. what could possibly be suspect about that. Not sure you need to work in the police to sniff out the bullshit there

Sure, but the comment I was responding to was about appearance based assumptions, ie the people we know have done much worse would of course never do such a thing. Just because.

You’re right. The actual number was probably much more. 

[Deadlines? What Deadlines?]

Seriously, if it isn’t perfectly obvious by now that this couple is a target of harassment by the UK tabloid and right wing press, I don’t know what to do with you. If you suggest that it’s somehow “far fetched”, you’re gaslighting. 

Off the top of my head I can name at least 3 major UK media types who have speculated about or commented on her death. This is not fucking normal folks.

I’m not sure anyone is denying they are a target ( though people seem to forget why). My point is I’m not sure why you thought posting up some obviously fake nonsense from Twitter helps your argument, just makes you look bad. 

[Deadlines? What Deadlines?]

I’m crushed. Instead I should be babbling nonsense about snails.

Ha. Nationalism can be truly evil and stupid and oddly enough nationalists tend the least of the people of the people who make up their nation most times.

More than just bugging phones. Here’s an interesting wrinkle. I wonder how many more people who settled cases with these tabloids will be called to testify.

1) Let it be known that there are more than 75 posts on this thread and this is the first I am making here.

2) Harry lost one of his cases to force the UK to provide security if he paid for it.

[Deadlines? What Deadlines?]

The English tabloids love “reporting” about this couple, either individually or together.

Harry’s lawsuits; arguably the most news worthy story about him in some time; not so much it turns out. Funny that.
