@IBB @Godfrey642 @mlamps ah, bestimmt nicht ein Prahlerei - which is how the tabloid media have been characterising it. I also think there is an element of cognitive dissonance in this debate - like, what do ppl think happens when a country sends people to war?

@mlamps @Godfrey642 @IBB Ich werde das lesen! Ich muss zugeben, dass ich das Buch wahrscheinlich lesen wird. Es wäre nicht normalerweise meine ‘Type of thing’, aber habe ich eine Faszination auf diese ganze Situation.

@Godfrey642 @IBB @mlamps ja, du hast recht. Es wird interessant sein, was passiert zu schauen.

@rbreich what happened to DeSantis? I thought he had more backing?

@mlamps @Godfrey642 (i don’t think they will ‘bring it all down’ but I do think H+M have changed the conversation which is important).

@mlamps @Godfrey642
i agree the tabloid media will go after him/them guns blazing now but I don’t think they feel they have anything to lose - both the media and Royal Family have lost all leverage over them. I think #HarryandMeghan have basically hit Defcon 1 / nuclear button, i.e. bring the whole thing down. IMO they see it as their duty to expose the racism and bigotry come what may. I do approve of the ‘don’t give a shit anymore’ attitude I have to say.

@rizzo @MatthewHodson @lassielmr nah, Harry has a huge inheritance from his mother I believe and I’m sure has other assets. Wealthy ppl will always find a way to make more wealth, sad to say.

@mlamps @Godfrey642 i mostly agree but I’m not sure about the ‘walking away quietly’ part as it seems to me the silence is part of what allows the institution to carry on unchecked. I think we need to know the extent of the racism, the bullying and the misogyny in both the Royal Family and the media etc. whether the revelations will bring any peace to the couple is another matter.

@MatthewHodson @rizzo (I’m anti-monarchy and don’t blame them for getting out, and I do like the way they’re using their platform to support good causes like HIV awareness).
