Interesting....the assumption that someone is "offended" when they stick up for the privacy of a public figure. Like "offended" is the only thing that is available as a response.

When the actual word you should be using is "shocked" that people that are generally pro-monarchy seem to think its OK to talk about rumours and hearsay about a person they have never met because of the belief that everyone knows anyway. Its disrespectful, distasteful and deserving of criticism.

Right, on you go. Hard hat is on.

And then to criticise anti- monarchists who criticise the criticising of said man...... I don’t know whether to laugh or sob ???

I’m sorry Nell but you are really going to have to justify that post

A month in hospital, he was surely very ill

NellG I really can't see any evidence of suzie calling you a liar anywhere. That's quite a serious accusation - if you stand by it I think you need to produce evidence, or else take it back.

I don't like hearing about anyone who's ill, no matter who it is.

I’m yet another who’s glad you’re still here. You were so kind and supportive to me when I was going through a very difficult time.

I believe that it is not allowed to carry on discussions and grievances from one thread to another. And to make accusations about posters hunting us from one thread to another is definitely not allowed, I know.

I've used the word disingenuous on several occasions and nobody has accused me of calling them a liar - at least not to my face.

Posted too soon - this thread is becoming needlessly hostile and unpleasant.

Blimey, I saw the OP and thought, just for once, a pleasant acknowledgment of an elderly man going home after being in hospital for a goodly while. Nope, tainted by accusations of people’s private lives, disappointing.

Seems they are judging already, though.....

Yes, because I asked them to.

Ditto

Anniebach, I know how much loss and distress you went through leading to that November night. I’m relieved you were supported on gransnet.
I’m posting less because I’ve found some threads toxic. We can all take different views, that usually leads to interesting if sometimes challenging discussions. My feeling is there are some who like to provoke others unnecessarily.
As for Prince Phillip, I believe it was wrong to print photographs of him leaving hospital. He’s 99, has clearly been very sick. Give him some respect and privacy.
As for the Royal Marriage. Again, rumours about him philandering are age old. What does it Matter to anyone other than the key people involved? Leave these two very elderly people a but if peace and privacy.

Oh gosh, thank you maddyone and Iam, I spoke of it because there is so much kindness in people but the more anger in threads the more will cause some to leave.

Having spoken of anger , I am so angry , why show those the
photographs of Phillip leaving hospital, why ? I have complained to the BBC, wont bother them but I had to do something, it is so wrong .

I too am a rampant republican. I have no interest in D of E’s private life. However I did feel sad and shocked when I saw pictures of him on the news - he looked such a poor old boy I felt sorry he should be subjected to the intrusion by the media and like any human being deserved some privacy.

If you have read my previous post, the hospital made every effort to keep his discharge private. As I said I am not a RF fan but at our life experience age it doesn't take a massive stretch of the imagination to understand why he may have been discharged either. I am disgusted they took, bought and published the photos.
