The Irony of the BBC...............

[##Wardy##]

Does anybody else find any irony of the BBC in the reporting of Prince Willy's bird, Miss Kate Middleton.

They are reporting how terrible (in their usual left-wing way) that the paparazzi are "hounding" Miss Middleton just like they did Lady Di.

However..........................the BBC have a film crew their!!!!!!

As much as I love the Royal Family, I see no problem with the paparazzi. Miss Middleton, has chosen herself to enter the Royal way, not a birth right. If she does not realise the pressures she may be under, then it is her own selfish actions.

Although Prince Willy is a handsome young man, she did not fall in love with his blond locks and 6 foot 4 frame, she fell in love with the prospect of being the future Queen of England.

Well, whatever her reasons for wanting to be with William she should remember the old adage "Beware of getting what you wish for". Everything has its downside.

[Gromit]

It is a common ploy often used by the 'quality' broadsheets of reporting on the unseemly melee and staying untainted by the paparazzi's actions The BBC is practising the same trick.

I take issue with Wardy's description of Prince William being 'handsome' and in posession of 'blonde locks'.

Recently, he's developed that Royal Ramily 'horsey thing', and as for those blonde locks - he has considerably less now than he did three years ago.

With regards to Miss Middleton - anyone who voluntarily gets involved with anyone famous knows what'll happen. They cannot claim ignorance in the matter, and will have to deal with it.

Alternatively, she could decide to date someone else. Someone non-famous...perhaps someone with a full head of hair, and who doesn't look like something that came a cropper at Beeches Brook.

SP, I will start a seperate thread in B+S concerning the handsomness of PW. I predict you are wrong.

[zimzam]

can you explain your reasoning Wardy because I see sense in SP's views. If you predict SP is so wrong then why not post your reasons here and save yet another duplicated thread?

[anotheoldgit]

Oh dear sp1814, what can one say except, MEOW, MEOW !!

[jake-the-peg]

What a prospect - spending the rest of your life as the centre of attention for a lot of sad acts.

No wonder Dianna went peculiar!

If you'll excuse me I'm off to pour my script out to the cameras and throw myself down a flight of stairs

In Wardy's defence (blimey, now there's a sentence I never thought I'd ever write, the post in Body & Soul is directly related to the question of Prince William's looks. However, this thread is about the perceived 'two-facedness' of the BBC and Ms Middleton culpability in the inevitable tabloid interest in her.

[jake-the-peg]

I was much amused by Jude Law's comments about the two facedness of the general public.

He noted that a lot of people jumped to defend celebrities like himself from publlic hounding from paparazzi and go out and buy Heat or Hello or the Sun and read all their celebrity articles where the material is used.

I hope nobody here falls into that category!

[flip-flop]

Murdoch's papers have apparently voluntarilly agreed to stop publishing photos of her - which I think is a great shame because she is UTTERLY UTTERLY GORGEOUS, she knocks Diana into a cocked hat.

PW, handsome, ugly or whatever is one very very very very very very lucky young man if he's getting inside Kate on a regular basis.

sorry for the crudity.



Actually, no I'm not sorry for the crudity - the jammy *******.

I'll hold my hand up and admit that I read Heat.

However, in my defence...

Wow. I have no defence.

Blimey...

[jedimistress]

Everywhere I look they are talking about her being hounded, how do they know? Cuz they are ALL there. Funny when the media criticizes the media.

[joko]

it is one thing saying we all 'know' that getting involved with someone famous will mean public exposure and your privacy being invaded almost daily, but no-one actually really knows how that feels until we are in that situation!
i would imagine it is alot more intrusive and annoying than we think.

thats why so many people crave fame, then become depressed when it arrives and the day to day reality sets in and its not at all what they expected and now its too late to get out of it.

[zimzam]

sp1814 - thank you for explaining it to me. I really did not understand, and I am being serious.

[tell-me-more]

Maybe she didn't know who he was.

[garner]

you know the old adage.......if you can;t stand the heat,get out of the kitchen

[kwicky]

If Kate at any sense she would get out of the clutches of this Royal setup pronto. She is too young to remember what the young Diana went through. Someone should tell her before its too late.
