Definitely the first thing I look for in the people put forward to articulate our needs is that they only know short words. He needs ignoring more along with The Reform Party
Just seen a clip of it. For someone who hates snowflakes he is the most easily triggered man in politics.
Good riddance to him. Never want to hear about him ever again.

Exactly, Photoshop is _hard_. I don’t know what she does but I’m sure she’s got more to do than figure out Photoshop.

i’ll be honest, i don’t get why anyone gives a fuck about the “Kate and the kids” photos. As if any picture you see of any celebrity anywhere ever isn’t heavily doctored in a million ways.
the woman is/was recovering from surgery and posted something on mother’s day, because she’s a mother. they need to back the fuck off. she’s the one they’re meant to be nice to, it’s like she’s Meghan or something

If you ignore the royals, they will go away.
Hopefully.

My logical guess is that the image was taken with one of those phones that uses AI to compile everyone’s best images from a range. But the anarchist in me thinks she’s locked in the dungeon.

That makes much more sense than trying to blag that the wife of the future king is doing her own image editing.
I actually didn’t even think of that tbf, just presumed the palace’s media agency edited it and sent it out without checking the work

Why is it totally impossible she’s always going on about how photography is a hobby for her. Editing is pretty much part of it. Is it that much different than Charlie spending some of his endless free time painting watercolours?

The news would look very different if you were only ever allowed to talk about the worst shit happening in the world at any given moment.

Doesn’t look like the obsession with them is dying down exactly though does it?

I do my bit by never reading any articles about any of them online. It’s like my Wetherspoons boycott. Control the controllables

No but I think more people are now aware of the forced meme aspect of it and of how the newspapers all have an agenda.

My guess about that beginner’s Photoshop storm in a Royal teacup is that rather than say Middleton’s underpaid & overworked assistant did it, she took the fall herself. Or as said previously, it was legitimately her doing the photo editing, and why not? I love all that fake outrage from various “royal watchers”, it’s genuintely funny to hear them get all worked up about nothing.

How is this photo even a thing? Total non event
Surprised it got so much airplay on here!

Quelle surprise

I spent all day yesterday removing a lion from a background which was a fucking photoshop nightmare, so I was hyper aware of badly done image editing over the past 24 hours (mine included)

Trying to defend this piece of shit is as bad as the comments themselves. It’s genuinely off the scale staggering that TWO Tories have tried to defend him so far.
Finding one should be impossible but they really don’t give the very slightest fuck.

This story is still absolutely boiling my piss. I cannot believe 3 people have tried to tell us his violent, misogynistic and **massively** racist comments were ‘a bit rude’ and not misogynistic or racist(???!)
I’m **raging**.
Where the fuck is the PM. An absolutely pathetic fucking coward.

They should just give back that money but then it’s nothing to them as they can magic a million out of nowhere when required.
