Diana and Camila: A PR exercise that wasn't going to last

 

Once again, an old affair that happened in 1995 is being brought back to public attention. The whole issue was about the fact that Charles and Camila - a married woman - had been an issue for a very long time, but Camila could not possibly be the mother of the heirs to the throne. Therefore, they found a nice face and used her as a cow to procreate the heirs that the Monarchy needed.

I reckon that the greatest humiliation for a  young woman was the knowledge that she would be second to an older adulterous married woman that had children of her own.
She played her role to perfection becoming an icon to embellish the image of a Monarchy that rested on the shoulders of a single man. The charade could not last. Fed up of being second fiddle, she went out in search of her own life. The interview with Bashir didn't reveal anything that wasn't public knowledge already. She was the pretty face for the cameras while Charles and Camila were at it. 

What angered the Establishment was not the fact that there were affairs. What angered the Establishment is that the interview exposed in public for all to see what had been going on. They set out to destroy her and the paparazzi were just the tool to led her to an abrupt end. After a public display of crocodile tears, they brought in Camila as the wife of the heir to the throne.

William was trained to play his role and Harry was left in the cold. When Harry met Meghan, thyey mounted yet another PR exercise. Meghan was a single woman who had her own life and was not willing to play second fiddle. When Meghan publicly showed that she was not going to play by the old rules, they turned against Meghan. 

Who is behind yet another attemp to rubbish the image of Diana? Diana died in 1997, so they turned against the journalist that interviewed her in 1995.

Politics: Pretending that conflict doesn't exist doesn't avoid conflict

Politics: Pretending that conflict doesn't exist doesn't avoid conflict


Some in the United Kingdom complain saying that one of the BBC flagship programmes - Question Time - has become too beligerant, that those taking part in it are not the happy chappies they used to be and that they are at each other's throats even after the cameras and microphones are switched off.
When issues matter people who care become beligerant. As Americans become beligerant when it comes to the right to bear arms. Do they become beligerant? Of course they do. Rights are fought for.


Isn't this something that marks the history of any nation across the world? The expression is: standing up for your rights. Did Britain award the colonies in America the right to vote, the decision power they were asking for because they were paying taxes to the British Crown without representation? Conflict is often unavoidable.

The upper lip, the time to endure without reacting, is on its way out. People become plainly open about their views. They say that in Britain people are learning to litigate, somehow following the example of the United States of America. Those accustomed to pretend that nothing is happening are alarmed when somebody stands up and airs his or her views openly. The time to bow is over.   

When Prince Harry Windsor says "I have had enough", the ground trembles. Those who strive to maintain the status quo are shocked. When reverence feels and sounds like subservience, the time for reverence is over and this happens over and over again and the fact that it happens is a healthy feature of social development.

But in Britain, at several levels, including Universitary education, many are not ready for plain talking. They are literally afraid of plain talking. British universities used to be a lighthouse of free thinking. Nowadays, they are bastions of political correctness and repression. The education system controlled by left-wing ideologues promotes a totalitarian approach. Having said that, when such approach goes not only against true democratic values but also against national interest there is no room for complaisancy. 

Now is the time for plain talking to cleanse Britain of negative structures and negative tendencies. The sooner we call apples apples and oranges oranges the better. Just across the pond, in the USA, the attempt by the Democrats to change the outcome of a Presidential Election will lead to a backlash as the attempt by a Remain Parliament led to a backlash in the United Kingdom and this is very much the consequence of democratic principles. When the Democrats as elected work against the electors, the electors rebel and get rid of the elected.

Regardless of who has the balance of power in the House of Representatives, ignoring the wishes of the American people the Democrats are digging up their own political graves. The Democrats are abusing power to try and change the outome of an election. The vote in the House of Representatives was in itself proof that the attempt to impeach President Trump is no more than a Democrat coup attempt. It was by no means a bypartisan vote.

Royal Household: Harry and Meghan

Royal Household: Harry and Meghan


In the 1930, Prince Edward could not marry Wallis Simpson because she was a divorcee. After that, Princess Margaret was not allowed to marry the man she very much loved - an ace of the Royal Air Force who served with distinction because his wife had left him (he became a divorcee due to no fault of his own). 

These were the precedents, but year later Prince Charles who had been a lover of Camila Parker Bowles was allowed to marry Camila Parker Bowles and suddenly divorce was no longer an issue. 
There had not been an issue either when it came to public morality that the Lord Mountbatten was married and slept with young boys while his wife slept around with men including foreign dignataries. 

But somehow in the eyes of the mandarins of mass media Harry and Meghan have committed a mortal sin by wanting to live their own lives in their own way. They are poisoning the minds of members of the public in the same way that they killed Princess Diana - Harry's mother.  They are at it again. The prostitutes that like to call themselves Defenders of Free Speech are no better than an organised Mafia making an awful amount of money by means of fabricated scandals.
