Didn't some Hollywood celeb say almost exactly this recently and get utterly panned for it?

I had him on ignore under his previous persona. Probably a good idea to do the same with this one.

Lacking in subtlety.

The UK and USA media has run countless stories (literally, countless) speculating that world figures such as Putin and Kim Jong have died.

Are these organised attempts to destabilise those countries? Or would that be a daft conspiracy theory.

I'd also point out that an item on Russian televised media would have absolutely no effect at all on the stability of the UK ... ... ... Unless the UK media chose to report that Russian media item to the UK public. .

No it isn't ****ing hell I'm getting bored of hearing debate terms on this forum from people who have blatantly absolutely no understanding of them whatsoever.

Whataboutery is comparing to something completely unrelated and irrelevant to distract from the original point being made. A direct comparison of two similar entities (countries) doing exactly the same thing is not whataboutery. It's not even close to being whataboutery. Ffff.

It wasn't speculation, it was reported as fact...quite different

Only in the sense that it lacks finesse. It would actually be more destabilising to speculate and create an unknown (which generates further speculation) than to outright state an easily-debunked false claim as fact.

The Kate hullabaloo is a prime example of that.

"Is he dead??" causes more chaos than "He is dead". 100%.

On a happier, nore positive note, it’s heartwarming to see all the messages of support and love for Kate pouring in from all over the world, praising her bravery, dignity and poise and her thoughtful words for others going through cancer. Lovely too that people are leaving flowers and messages outside Windsor for her.
A reminder that there are many more good, kind people that we share our world with than the type who salivate with delighted anticipation at the thought of a Royal scandal.
This whole episode will stengthen the Monarchy, not weaken it.

Of course we still have to contend with disingenuous little weasles who will use the previously-unknown diagnosis for a bit of bitter tribalistic tub-thumping and point-scoring thinly veiled as genuine concern and altruism.

Better to own one's pettiness than to shuffle around it underfoot wouldn't you say jet?

I adore Kate. My concern and anger for what she was put through and must have been feeling is genuine, and I couldn’t care less about the sensitive ickle feelings of the scummy conspiracy theorists. I'm delighted at the lovely responses she is now getting. What is your problem?

I believe that you believe that jet. That's about the best I can say.

Well now you mention it, I've never said I'm not a Hollywood star

Spoiler:

But yeah I don't know who or what you're talking about, but looking back it does look like I was being overly positive about cancer...

[bots]

I like a good royal scandal us much as the next guy, but i draw the line at making crap up when the figure in question is suffering from a very serious illness. Maybe i'm old fashioned, but thats the way i am

[UserSince2005]

Anyway all I’m saying is that this organisation are proven liars now and there is substantial evidence they have lied again and yet you all just ignore. Where is the critical thinking?

Hmmm…
Jet thinks he believes this, but I know better, I’m THE great all - knowing one.
Jog on, Conspiracy Boy, and don’t let your massive ego trip you up on the way.

Wait I've remembered who it was and it's even better than I remembered...

...it was none other than HRH Prince Harry about Charles' cancer, and people on here (of course) utterly panned him for it .

Also, not me referring to Harry as "some Hollywood celeb" hahaha.

[Cherie]

Harry has contacted Kate personally so kudos to him for that, cannot have been an easy thing to do

True. He'd have to find her first.

Ha!

Well that pair only ever enters my consciousness when someone from their Fan Club posts here, and that nugget seems to have even passed them by

According to the news and press, “it is not clear if the contact was a phone, video call or some messages of support”.
If Kate spoke to him directly, I’d give all the kudo’s to her for giving him the time of day, after he implied she was a racist and directed sly and uncalled for digs at her in ‘Spare’.

So many public now having more tests.

No one wants or needs someone like him around them
