Keeping up with the Markles

[Colonel_Klinck]

I'm in agreement with poor Piers on this one who is yet another victim of political correctness.
What a cheap trick by Meghan to pull the race card and, as for her mental state, she's hardly on the brink.
Utter tripe comes from her mouth and, let's be honest, she's pretty talentless.

No Piers couldn't take some criticism from a work colleague about his treatment of MM after he freely admitted he took on a date (he thinks it was a date) and then she ghosted him, They then refused an interview and ever since he's been on a one man campaign against her. That isn't journalism, that is petty little man being a bully on his media pulpit.

Wow any mention of race now for some is "pulling the race card" its like the ultimate get out of jail line. Oh they mentioned race, they are pulling the race card because there is no such thing as racism! In fact they are racist by pulling the race card.

Tell us Dr Kully what in your professional opinion as a trained mental health professional says "she wasn't on the brink"? Was Gary Speed on the brink the day he was laughing and joking on set of Football Focus ? He then drove home and killed himself. A very good friend of a friend of mine was sat around with friends and family including my friend. Everyone said he was on great form that night, having a laugh and cracking jokes, he left with everyone else at the end of the evening, drove home and killed himself. No one had any idea something was wrong and that "he was on the brink". Ignorant comments like yours really don't help, mental health is very often invisible, can strike anyone, anytime. Who are you to judge?

The most unbelievable thing out of all this is Piers Morgan thinking he had a shot with Megan Markle.

 

[Theophany]

Do you think the same about other racist insults, when used explicitly as insults? "gammon" is almost always deliberately sexist and ageist too.

That would require me to buy into the narrative that the term 'gammon' is any of those things.

 

[Roar87]

He's married what on earth are you both talking about, he clearly at no point thought it was a date hahaha

That would require me to buy into the narrative that the term 'gammon' is any of those things.

Its a derogatory term for white middle aged men, it's racist, sexist and ageist.

He certainly has delusions of grandeur but that is reaching a bit

 

[thenewoc]

Is every topic of conversation involving race "pulling the race card" or is there a specific distinction that you've noted in this interview?

It is when you don't have any proof of such a conversation taking place or the context and tone of what might have been said. Add to that being unwilling to name the alleged or give any facts about whether they challenged that person's alleged comments at the time and how that person responded.

It ought to have been settled at the time even if that were left as 'beg to differ' or no offense intended. Unnecessary to bring such matter out in public as they've produced no evidence. Even the allegation is airing on the side of the recipient choosing to interpret something as insulting rather than something derogatory being said.

It's a calculated attack by means of being deliberately vague to cause maximum effect across the family. Delivering trial by media where the public only has one sides word to go on.

No, it's a derogatory term for those who spout gammon nonsense. It just so happens that many of them happen to be white middle aged men. Not all white middle aged men are gammons, and not all gammons are white middle aged men. But many are.

So if I refuse to 'buy into the narrative' that both the "N" or "P" words are racist I'm free to use them?

It's quite funny that the left make claims that certain words are racist yet when they usurp a word as an insult, that insult having conotations towards a person's skin colour, suddenly it's not racism, again because of the target's skin colour.

There's a word for that. Hypocrisy.

Or any human being for that matter.

 

[jpaul]

well Piers' wife has a more attractive (normal!) personality, and, is arguably more attractive Celia Walden on Babysitting George

 

[Junglist]

Definitely have to agree to disagree there. If plain Jane was a person that's her personified.

 

[doodah]

Hahaha. Might be a case of place your bets on who will return first. Shamima or Harry?

Those 'N' and 'P' words have history of being overtly racist. Gammon has a history of meaning a person getting red in the face and quite heated in an argument. You're making it a racist term to play the victim card as some kind of weird 'gotcha' to make the point that people can be racist against white people.

It's sad and pathetic.

 

[chroniclard]

Gammons playing the Gammon card?

 

[Nasher]

The most unbelievable thing out of all this is Piers Morgan thinking he had a shot with Megan Markle.

Well... He IS rich and famous.

But not as rich and famous as a prince.

 

[Jean-F]

He was trying to but got shutdown since free speech only works one way.

Anyone who can shut him down gets my vote, he’s entitled to his opinion, and he has every right to express it, but his constant interruptions, and talking over and through people make me wish that someone would smack him in the mouth, or that a large hook will appear from the wings, and he'll be dragged unceremoniously off the set, or maybe they could have given him the chair that Graham Norton uses on his show, to dump people that are not interesting

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

He's married what on earth are you both talking about, he clearly at no point thought it was a date hahaha

Of course how stupid of me because married men never cheat on their wives with great looking women do they.

He seems a bit put out here. Probably the best thing she could have done was ghost him as has been proved he's a vindictive little self centred man. He's a bully who had his feeling hurt and went on a revenge tour. So if Harry told her to stay well clear he was right wasn't he. I wouldn't trust Morgan as far as I could throw him but then I wouldn't trust any tabloid journalist, they are soulless scum who care not what damage they cause in their pursuit of a headline.

 

[Greebo]

He's married what on earth are you both talking about, he clearly at no point thought it was a date hahaha

Why? He started dating his current wife while he was still married to his first wife so its no like he doesnt have a track record there.

 

[Jean-F]

Definitely have to agree to disagree there. If plain Jane was a person that's her personified.

Chacun à son goût, but in passé London vernacular, I think that she’s a “right sort”, and personally I feel that either you’ve been spoilt for choice in the female companion department, or that you may benefit from a visit to SpecSavers.
