Well that didn't take long.

I always had a good feeling about Harry. He seems like a good sort, for a royal that is.

By the crowing of right-wingers in the D&D chat thread (and here I guess) it doesn't seem exactly like a victory against nazis.

But then I didn't really see any of the posts about it.

I dunno if anyone is watching Newsnight but they’re discussing the reasoning behind Harry and Meghan leaving the royal family etc and their topic of choice at the mo is whether taking legal action against the media who have used racial slurs against Meghan and their child is more damaging for the media or the royals and it’s very peak “no no it’s the children who are wrong”

I know the royals are the royals etc but in Australia all we really see on magazines is “Meghan is a shrieking harpy!” With no real evidence of it, then “the royals hate Meghan and Harry now!”

I get the papers hatred of her- racism / she is a “low class” US / Canadian person etc. but why do they hate her internally? Or has that not really come out and the tabloids just are making stuff up

I mean they're weird nazi sympathizing aristos so they probably actually hate her because she's not ten generations german inbred or something but who loving knows or cares, it's a soap, a soap that people take far too seriously.

Apparently (and I haven't researched in detail), William cheated on Kate. Harry very much disapproved (probably because of his father's cheating on his mother leading ultimately to her early death). Not sure Kate and Meghan get on over well either. Before Kate and William married, Will played the field a bit (theirs was a bit of an on/off affair). When Kate's mother who apparently put on airs (as for example Hyacinth Bucket - Brit sitcom character don't know if you've ever seen that in Aus) visited she put her foot in it by being a bit 'common' - calling the bog the lavatory instead of the toilet or vice versa or some such nonsense which marked her down as 'not quite quite'. Photos I've seen of Brenda and Um Meghan always seem to be on good terms.

The 'correct' term would be loo.

Speak like your working class nan but in a posh accent and you have true U English, because they never bothered to update any of the words since the turn of the last century.

Also use 'what?' instead of 'pardon?'

They're right about using napkin instead of serviette too.

Decision dated yesterday:

quote:

Tweet by Nick Robinson, 26 February 2019
07 January 2020
Complaint
In response to the claim of Chris Williams MP (in an interview with him earlier that day) never to have seen anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, Nick Robinson tweeted “Did you forget you’d agreed to screen a film in Parliament by a woman suspended from Labour for saying the Jews controlled the slave trade?”. A reader complained that this was inaccurate, in that the woman in question (Jackie Walker) had been the subject, not the maker, of the film, and that the phrase “the Jews controlled the slave trade” misrepresented what she had in fact said.

Outcome
Ms Walker was the subject, not the maker of the film, but this element of inaccuracy was immaterial to an understanding of the issue raised by the tweet. But her original words (in response to a friend who had raised the question of “the debt” owed to the Jews because of the Holocaust) were “Oh yes – and I hope you feel the same towards the African holocaust? My ancestors were involved in both – on all sides as I'm sure you know, millions more Africans were killed in the African holocaust and their oppression continues today on a global scale in a way it doesn't for Jews... and many Jews (my ancestors too) were the chief financiers of the sugar and slave trade which is of course why there were so many early synagogues in the Caribbean. So who are victims and what does it mean? We are victims and perpetrators to some extent through choice. And having been a victim does not give you a right to be a perpetrator”. Even allowing for the element of compression often seen in tweets, Nick Robinson’s paraphrase gave an insufficiently accurate impression of Ms Walker’s actual words.
Partly upheld

Further action
Nick Robinson tweeted that he accepted the BBC Complaints process finding that his paraphrase gave “an insufficiently accurate impression”.

I noticed people I consider 'posh speakers' using 'what' instead of 'pardon'. Grates on me because I was brought up that to say 'what' was rude and you had to say 'pardon'.
