Fighting with your brother

[Billy Balfour]

I find the pig-ignorant tossers on the internet, who come out with a load of crap regarding Harry's parentage, more insulting towards Charles III than any revelations in Harry's book.

[Rileybobs]

Mate, you appear to have been triggered by a silly meme about a member of the royal family.
Not sure it was the other poster who comes across as blinkered or agenda driven.
Remember, comedy is all about punching up

I’ve not been triggered by anything, I posted something and whilst I was writing the post someone posted a meme which helped to reinforce the point I was trying to make - hence my follow up post. Of course it’s comedy, but people claiming he’s upset because his necklace was broken are just misrepresenting the story to suit their agenda. As are those comparing his altercation with childhood fights they had with their siblings. Would you not be upset if your adult sibling became physical with you? I know I would.

Back to the triggering - it’s pretty clear here that there’s only one group of people being triggered. It’s those who are getting upset by irrelevant things written by an irrelevant stranger in a book.

I’m not sure anyone is upset, it was mainly people having a laugh.

[Rileybobs]

I’ll just follow up again, bringing up quotes about him wanting privacy are equally as disingenuous as him being upset by a broken necklace. It’s pretty clear that there are different types of privacy. For example, Jonathan Ross likes to sit in front of a camera, but he probably doesn’t like paparazzi taking photos through the gap in his bedroom curtains.

People are definitely upset by the whole Harry and Meghan saga, surely you can see that.

Whatever kind of privacy you seek, being interviewed by anyone who has a microphone and access to a tv channel, releasing a book detailing all your family ills and committing to a Netflix series is a very odd way of seeking it.

This just about sums up how grossly unfairly Prince Harry has been treated. Even the dog kennel is bigger than his room.

[harpers_perm]

If ever there was a PPV boxing match I’d go for William.

I’ve just constructed an SQL algorithm based on temperament, physical build and assumed diet.

My analysis reports that Harry would let the occasion get to him, throwing early bombs, indisciplined windmills to impress his wife and the watching Oprah Winfrey only for Wills to pick him off with a constant straight left solid jab downing Harry in the second.

The 3rd will see Wills dominating showboating with an Ali Shuffle eventually finishing him off with a well timed right uppercut in the 4th round.

I’m not saying this would happen but it’s what my computer is telling me.

[Volvoclaret]

Maybe not Harpers, you didn't factor in that H killed 25 Taliban with only his bare hands, just using a necklace to garrot them.

[kentonclaret]

Do you mean apart from the Taliban and some of his army colleagues?
Not many of them seem to be laughing over his latest revelations. If he decides to bring the family over to attend the Coronation the taxpayer will foot the bill for the extra security needed.

[LeadBelly]

The "revelations" (maybe something to do with those mushrooms he's admitted taking) get more and more ludicrous- it's said in the book that he had a frostbitten todger at the time of the Wills/Kate wedding and this piece also has details about the (Americanisms coming up...) cut/uncut nature of his member.
Way too much information there- but it raises concerns about his mental stability in thinking he should reveal such things (if any doubt existed following what he's already said).

I think most Brits will just take the Mick out of most of what is in this book, cant be taken seriously at all.

[dsr]

If he’s got something to damage the royal family with then why shouldn’t he share it? If he doesn’t have anything to damage them with then what’s the problem?

I’m not sure Harry promised juicy stuff which would rock the royal family so maybe that’s why you’re disappointed.

And would the royal family be able to leak Harry’s DNA results? That sounds like quite a major breach of data protection. The fact you are certain they would leak the results possibly adds strength to the term “royal firm”.

I think "an heir to the throne is illegitimate" trumps "data protection". Even if it does breach Harry's right to keep every detail of his private life a secret.

[dsr]

This question about illegitimacy of the royal family isn't new. In 1688, there were accusations that the new prince, James II's son, was not Queen Mary's son at all but an unrelated baby smuggled in a warming pan into the Queen's bedchamber. This was shortly followed by the "Glorious Revolution" (Catholics may give it a different name!) and the return of protestantism to the throne.

Of course, they didn't have DNA testing or data protection acts in those days.

[Damo]

The 25 taliban members that he claims to have killed surely has to be an early contender for the Did Not Happen Of The year.
Everything else is absolutely believable honest

[Robbie_painter]

Always been able to beat my brother in a fight,he’s known all along so it’s never been an issue.

Absolutely did not kill 25 taliban in hand to hand combat,he might’ve landed a lucky drone strike from a headquarters miles away from where anything was happening tho.

[wooooosh]

Thank you Damo. It was only supposed to be a lighthearted approach. Clearly a sense of humour isn't for all.

Apache pilot so maybe he did.....

[Bordeauxclaret]

From the reports I’ve read most of the stories are just what most people would call tittle tattle.

The 25 Taliban thing though is just bizarre. I can’t see the purpose of coming out with something like that and how nobody told them it wouldn’t be a good idea.

Surely just increases the danger for a lot of people.

That's the claim which has the capability to do the most long term harm especially to the UK military, at it will be used by the Taliban to recruit more fighters to their cause.

Plus it probably increases the threat that Harry and his immediate family may face.

And how that passed the editing stage baffles me, the rest is all domestic strife that I can discern, but when his strident claims are potentially causing a security issue for our armed forces then he's overstepped the threshold in my view.

[bfcjg]

They remind me of a posh Liam and Noel Gallagher.

This is what he actually said.

Unfortunately a well written and balanced piece like that doesn't sell papers, get website clicks, make a good meme or outrage the local gammon.

[BennyD]

Now he’s admitted to 25 killings, I really hope they are all investigated to confirm they were within the RoE. Fwiw, that is another reason why soldiers don’t brag about ‘numbers’. The guy is a poorly advised idiot.

You really want his killings to be investigated? Really?

[BennyD]

Absolutely. Enough pongos have been dragged over the coals so, now he’s stuck his head over the parapet, why not him? Who knows, he might end up in in ‘check mate’.

[Billy Balfour]

I'd stick to watching Lieutenant Columbo if I was you, Benny.

[BennyD]

Why do you want his killings to be investigated?

For breaking the unwritten rule you never bring up numbers. Now he has done, game on and If he’s shot himself in the foot, so be it.

Let me get this straight. You want an ex-serviceman to be investigated because he broke an ‘unwritten rule’ (there’s a reason unwritten rules are unwritten) by telling people how many enemies he killed? Pretty irrational don’t you think?

[Billy Balfour]

Good luck launching an investigation based on someone breaking an 'unwritten rule'. ROTFPML

Getting shot in the foot may be the least of his worries now Benny. The statement put out by the Taliban suggests he could well become a marked man. He's playing with fire for the lure of the dollar.

[BennyD]

Not at all. One doesn’t ‘brag’ about killing people in combat because;
A) you make yourself look like a big mouth.
B) you invite legal investigations into your actions
C) you can make life difficult for colleagues involved in the same actions
D) the British Army likes to keep a low-profile

You may have noticed that he has received universal condemnation from the military. Generals to Privates have all said the same thing; he’s bang out of order. Whilst I hate such investigations, the fact he has brought this crashing down on his own stupid head validates my endorsement for such an inquiry. Go out, do your job, come home and STFU. It was ever thus.

When you get up off the floor, get it into your head that he has admitted to killing 25 (twenty five) people, all of them dressed as civilians. They have to have been carrying weapons or engaged in activities likely to compromise the lives of friendly forces. If not, there is potential for a murder/manslaughter charge. If you don’t admit to a killing, there is nowhere really to start looking. Also, there are lots of lawyers twiddling their thumbs, looking to make a name for themselves, and Harold has just put a big target on his back. Not only that, the threat of any such action will, hopefully, encourage said idiot to keep his head down, and his big mouth shut.

He said he killed 25 combatants not civilians and he also stated every killing he made is recorded and also if you read what he actually wrote it is definitely not bragging about it.

You come out with a lot of drivel in general but you're really excelling yourself today. Anyhow at least you're still keeping this thread funny and amusing so keep up the good work sherlock

[Billy Balfour]

He should change his username to Benny Hill.

[1882Clarets1882]

Loose lips sink ships.

[BennyD]

All Taliban combatants are dressed as civilians and, ATM, it’s only him that are calling them combatants.
Yes they are recorded but, generally, there isn’t a reason for the RMPs to look at them. There might be now.
The sheer fact he mentioned 25 is bragging, otherwise there is absolutely no need to mention a number. Trying to ‘justify his feelings’ really doesn’t change that fact.
I’m glad you are amused, it shows what kind of person you are. Let’s see if Harold is as amused when some Muslim extremist fancies making a name from himself.

[Spijed]

When you see war zones on television how can any accurate assessment be made with regards to the numbers killed, especially in small towns and villages when a lot of those killed will be from random fire, coming from different directions and won't be discovered for some time.

A combatant by definition is somebody engaged in fighting. It might only be him calling them that but you stated he has admitted to killing 25 civilians when he categorically hasn't.

I couldn't care less what he does or doesn't say and what that means for him in the future but seeing you get triggered by it to the point of talking nonsense is definitely what im here for

Wont be long before the good old patriots of this country will be rooting for the Taliban

[BennyD]

I’d say that most of the guys he killed were in open country. Presumably, they were laying IEDs, setting an ambush or in contact with coalition troops. There would have been clearance given to shoot, but often the Apache crew receive such clearance based on the information they themselves give to the authorities. However, just look on YouTube at the thermal image definition they have to work with, and you will realise it isn’t as cut and dried as it may seem to be. Also, is a re-attack on a badly wounded Taliban unit necessary, or is it murder/manslaughter? Just ask Marine Sergeant B who despatched a wounded Taliban combatant and, quite rightly, got banged up for it. Again, it was his own action that screwed him up; he filmed it and the film got into the wrong hands.

[Aclaret]

He killed 25 Taliban yet he cried when his brother broke his necklace !

[HahaYeah]

He killed 25 Taliban yet his horrible wife is wearing his little balls for earrings.

Again, you are talking your usual cr4p. I said all Taliban combatants are dressed as civilians, and they are because they don’t have any other recognised uniform. Also, according to you, 8 Taliban fighters carrying AKs and RPG7s walking across a field at night can’t be attacked because they aren’t ‘engaged in fighting’. Again, it’s the standard of pig-ignorance that I’ve come to expect from you. FYI, I haven’t ’been triggered’, I’m just calmly responding to the usual drivel spouted by the usual morons, yourself included.
