Harry And Meghan To Receive Human Rights Award….

[naomi24]

…for 'their heroic stand against "structural racism" in the monarchy'.

A fellow recipient on this occasion is Ukraine's President Zelensky.

'Heroic'? I don’t think there is an award for lying to Oprah Winfrey, but if there is it's the only one they should be receiving. Coming from a highly prestigious foundation, this certainly leaves a sour taste.

Naomi, It does NOT matter to me.
Whether they get an award or not, does NOT put food on
my table.
I bet his father ??? is secretly proud of him getting an
award.

[andy-hughes]

One of the problems with rewarding this fatuous self-obsessed pair, is that they see it as validation for their self-pitying claptrap, and will unfortunately encourage them to spout more of it

Hmmm .....

[Meaghan27]

Many people underestimate the tole his mother's death and subsequent accusations must have had on his mental health. I don't know them, obviously, but believe Meghan is a parasite, much like the Duchess of Windsor was, and has taken huge advantage of a weak and troubled man.

[poorclare]

I have always thought Meghan resembles the late
Duchess of Windsor (RIP)

So, what standing has a Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation anyway ? There are loads of self important groups doing daft things. Probably best not to give them more attention than is appropriate.

[Old_Geezer]

So, no real importance then. Just another self appointed group claiming they are the authority on something.

[naomi24]

I'm not sure they claim to be an authority. Their purpose is to work against racism and for human rights.

[JDavis]

Is there any proof of this 'racism'?

[naomi24]

No.

[JDavis]

Thought not. I agree this is a ridiculous award.

[The Builder]

I'm not sure that this Foundation is quite as prestigious as it appears.
The Kennedy clan was never particularly concerned over "the little people".

Joe Kennedy was an old style New England patriarch.
JFK was a serial philanderer.
Bobby Kennedy was a petulant little twerp who loved being in "Society". He once famously thumped Gore Vidal at a White House party (largely because of Gore's constant goading.)

And as for Edward "quick, throw me a towel" Kennedy.......... ;o)

How do you know this Andy ?

it is a comment for chrissakes, even I can see that

[Peter Pedant]

yeah but no but Builder - hi by the way

The kennedys did inspire American people ( Camelot) and even Macmillan - "we can play Athens to your Rome"
and even 60y after - some glitter remains

Johnson who did get most of the civil rights legislation thro a blocked congress, never inspired ( he picked his dogs up by their ears) but achieved more

I thought of Blair ( " Bliar" ) was the same, and 20 y ? the magic didnt even last 5. Spouse shri is an acquired taste that er I never acquired

[The Builder]

Hi Peter.............
Yes, the Camelot Gay Court.
Perhaps I might have been a little over-dismissive. Probably reading too much Gore Vidal :o)

Despite being a Texan, LBJ possibly did more to further Civil rights than JFK managed. Mind you............. possibly due to the fact that JFK was dead ;o)

[jno]

LBJ had been Senate majority leader; he probably learnt a lot about arm-twisting there.

anna - // How do you know this Andy ? //

How do I know what?

That they couple of self-pitying, and spout claptrap, and will be encouraged to do more?

Easy - I read newspapers and watch television - they are keen to prove my point frequently.
