Those who say things like "they should get the same treatment as everyone else" are usually the ones screaming the loudest when the proverbial hits the fan.
So err, What’s Happened to the Princess of Wales?

QED the front of The Sun and Mirror this morning - unfortunately the NHS continues to miss its cancer care targets due to chronic underfunding and staffing issues with no sign of either improving since this came to light a couple of years ago.
No, you’re asking me to provide a direct comparable to an incredibly specific scenario rather than using some imagination as to how it’s no different to the hundreds of people who have put themselves in harm’s way for the greater good.
Actually I was asking if you would personally do what you are chastising the princess of wales for not doing.
Though I acknowledge I was very broad with my description in the original response.

Yes I would, because I feel it would make a tangible difference to the lives of other people directly or indirectly impacted by cancer by bringing the issue of NHS funding front and centre and force the government to act.
For context, I come from a family of medics who have all consciously turned down the private dollar in order to focus on NHS practice - in the 90s my Dad turned down a genuinely life changing sum of money for some software he had developed through his research in his particular field and gave away the source code so it would benefit as many people as possible. I'm incredibly proud of that.

There's not even any need to make up conspiracies when Prince Andrew already exists.

Looks like Kate's back on the menu, boys!

It'll be like Weekend at Bernie's when she's on the palace balcony.
It seems to me the Royals don't like to reveal the info about their illnesses - does anyone know what the Queen died from? Afaik neither Charles or Kate have revealed details of their cancers. I know just knowing they have cancer gets cancer talked about, which is good, it makes people more aware, but even better imo is to say 'yeh I have ____ cancer' because this then focuses on specific cancer types, symptoms etc, for people to be aware of.

Who ******* cares?

Quite a few people clearly...hence this thread and it being all over the news on a regular basis?
I imagine her friends and family also care.

After 13 pages, I'm sure a few do and you also showed a care by replying

I've always said there should be suspensions for people that seek out threads just to type "Who cares".
Probably 99.9% of the threads started on OCUK I don't care about but I just keep out of them.

It's probably reasonably healthy for an outsider to occasionally throw in a 'why on earth do you care so much' to the echo chambers of long thread topics.
We might not have interest in everything, but it's pretty baffling to see some of the threads that keep receiving posts.
For me, I don't care much about the royals at all, but them being incredibly weird is entertaining, so this Kate stuff has been somewhat fun to hear about. The photo shopping and conspiracy theories, I mean, rather than the actual cancer.

Ive done almost 24 years in the Armed Forces, and myself and probably most of the people I’ve worked with are not royalists and would not care if we suddenly became a republic, but they really don’t have any effect on my day to day job apart from increasing the size of my medal collection every now and then, so I just accept it of part of British history that won’t be going away any time soon regardless of what anything thinks of it.
They’re also human just like the rest of us.
Apart from Andrew, who was clearly a lizard in disguise.

She still seems to be going through the wringer, but that's cancer for you.

A wild Kate appears!

I couldn't give a crap about her other than as a human being. It's 2024. Get up off your knees and stop putting people on pedestals!You're in this thread and you have replied so obviously you do or you're just trolling
