They never get it right



Prince Harry and Meghan Markle get mixed reaction after being named 'Humanitarians of the Year'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were named ‘Humanitarians of the Year’ at a glitzy ceremony in New York last night, where they spoke about the dangers of social media as one of the “most pressing issues of our time.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were honoured at the Project Healthy Minds Gala—an event that celebrates efforts to expand access to mental health resources and reduce stigma around mental illness.


Strewth - they never get it right.

The creepy duo could have turned down a ‘Humanitarians of the Year’ award merely because it's ludicrous. It's a good enough reason for most people - don't be ludicrous and expect to be taken seriously.

Unfortunately, in their world ludicrous posturing doesn't matter if they are on the stage. Any stage will do as long as it offers yet another opportunity to display their glitzy vacuity to a world which sees through them every time.

With those two involved, I’m getting uncomfortable echoes of the conscience-stricken werewolf in Terry Pratchett’s ‘Feet of Clay’:

“It was easy to be a vegetarian by day. It was preventing yourself becoming a humanitarian at night that took the real effort.”

Macheath - ha ha, they need to keep the lights bright when those two are prowling around.

I was reminded today of your comment about Starmer's face and Botox here a few months ago -

‘Humanitarians of the Year’?
As long as it's not Keir Starmer.

DJ - ha ha, at least we can make fun of him.

Terry Pratchett does spring to mind.

James - I can see I'll have to read him one day.

Macheath said...

Re Botox: thanks, that’s an interesting hypothesis - particularly worrying, perhaps, when it comes to the interaction between children and their botoxed parents.

Mind you, I’m not sure Starmer had any empathy to start with…

A K Haart said...

Macheath - I agree, Starmer gives little indication that he ever had any empathy.
