Truss: “Your Majesty… Lovely to see you again.”

i got into a minor wikipedia edit war last year over whether another of chuck's mentors laurens van der post raped a girl (he did, which the article now acknowledges).

Doesn't the King's "back again" basically mean "oh, dear, we're meeting again for the first time since the difficult and awkward times after the death of my mother" ?

that's not how it's being interpreted

he means *turns impossibly ancient and woebegone face to viewers* thanks i hate it

So are we saying 'speaking the King's English' now instead of the Queen's English or what?

Doubt he'll get to his own coronation at this rate.

Who was Prime Minister when King Charles III ascended to the throne is going to be a really hard pub quiz question in about 20 years

I just saw a long ITV news item about King Charles on an official visit to Luton.

Visiting a Sikh kitchen he remarked of the dough: "It's wonderful how it rises". The presenter repeated that he had said: "It's wonderful how it rises".

I'd say it must be a slow news day if we still had those.

🚨 | BREAKING: General Llywelyn Fortwilliam has cast doubt over Prince Harry's claim to have killed 25 Taliban fighters.

"By my count it was 24. One insurgent was mangled and paralysed from the neck down but he could still have triggered an IED if he'd bitten down hard on it." pic.twitter.com/brHbdS3aVz

I'm not sure if this is as funny as I found it this morning!

calzino, Saturday, 7 January 2023 10:43 (one year ago) link

It's bonkers how the military and others are saying "Prince Harry mentioning killing people is making other soldiers from that war a target".

They were a target during the war. They could be a target now if the Taliban, terrorists, or whoever wants to target them, for having fought in Afghanistan - never mind anything that Prince Harry says. It's not as if it was a secret that UK soldiers killed Afghans during the Afghan war.

the pinefox, Saturday, 7 January 2023 11:55 (one year ago) link

if anything you'd be quite fair to suspect that the soldiers that served with him could have been closer to a branch of Spar than any Taliban. More like an executive babysitting platoon than Taliban hunters.

calzino, Saturday, 7 January 2023 12:03 (one year ago) link

Bizarre threads of media pros saying "by golly my grandfather murdered 80 Germans with his bare hands, but he never spoke a word of it, he bottled those feelings up and only expressed them by beating us with his belt, it's the British way and any suggestion of anything else is a grave insult to our brave troops and our nation"

Camaraderie at Arms Length, Saturday, 7 January 2023 12:26 (one year ago) link

Agree.

I suppose saying "military secrets should remain secret because this helps our military power" is one thing, and makes its own sense.

But saying "the Taliban will be outraged when they learn that British soldiers killed people in Afghanistan!" doesn't.

the pinefox, Saturday, 7 January 2023 14:59 (one year ago) link

tbh the omerta was always largely abt british ppl being outraged that british soldiers were killing people in afghanistan

mark s, Saturday, 7 January 2023 15:07 (one year ago) link

Pretty sure I remember the little cunt talking about killing ppl at the time and how it was jolly good fun like a video game

The extent to which the British media have misrepresented what Prince Harry wrote about his Afghan war experiences in ‘Spare’ is disquieting. https://t.co/FGlZbC9jRr
