 looks like they helped themselves to a free flight despite their principles. Probably got a few tips on mooching from Princess Michael of Kent.

No they really don't help themselves.

I save a very special loathing for people who preach to us plebs about the environment and then take private jets, like these two, and people like luvvie-in-chief Emma Thompson who jetted in to sit on a pink boat in Oxford Circus a few years ago - she probably spends half her life jetting across the Atlantic.

The message is clear - us proles shouldn't use planes, but it's OK for them to use them with gay abandon.

Damn plebs will have there own cars next......hang on!

There were several people on the flight that was going there - it would have gone if they were on it or not so what is the problem?

Couldn't anyone who flies argue that redhelen? It's a bit like justifying eating meat by saying 'well the animal was dead anyway .

If they were the only passengers on the flight I could understand the cries of foul - but they were not there were several passengers.

Then they could lecture their pop buddies on environmental damage and not us who don't use private planes.. They could have used a train or Greyhound. It was not like they were flying to someone on their death bed. Free loading sponging hypocrites. Harry looked bored as hell.

"Led by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, Travalyst is a global initiative with the "ambition to change the impact of travel, for good."see www travalyst.org  "

Do as I tell YOU to do, not as I do.

What a moron.

The point is if they consider themselves qualified to preach to everyone else - which they do - they really ought to have the decency to be seen to be taking their own advice.  It can come as no surprise to them that they're labelled hypocrites.

There were several people on the flight that was going there - it would have gone if they were on it or not so what is the problem?

The same can be said of every flight, be it by private jet, scheduled or charter flight. I've recently returned from the Canary Islands - roughly a 3,200 mile round trip. My aircraft would have made the trip whether I had been on board or not. But people like the Duke of Sussex and his ghastly wife are preaching to plebs like me of the evils of air travel and how it must be curtailed, whereas I am not doing likewise to them. So that's the problem. 

Never mind. At the end of this month some 35,000 delegates and their bag carriers will descend on Dubai (it was Sharm-el-Sheik last year - very agreeable in November, so I'm told). The reason for their assembly in the Middle East is to attend the "COP28" Climate Change conference. High on their agenda will be discussing ways to limit air travel by the masses. I imagine they all travelled to Dubai by push bike.

It's of no surprise, like many others they dont really believe in the nonsence it's just a virtue signalling opportunity.

 

My word, what a lot of Meghan-haters there are around.

Odd that they're not so strident in criticism of similar hypocrisy from Rishi.

 

 

 

He looked as miserable as sin in that photo of him watching that concert. 

My word, what a lot of Meghan-haters there are around.

I have no hatred for the Duchess of Sussex. I just think she's ghastly. So well suited to her husband, you could be forgiven for believing they were made for each other, in fact.

There's absolutely no need to pay any attention to the musings of this pair of roasters far less be exercised by them.

I'd have to agree that taking the moreal high ground with regard to 'climate change' becomes a shakey proposition if you are adding the problem in such a conspicuous manner.

The argument that the plane would have flown anyway, without them on board, doesn't really stand up.

They cannot legitimately preach in public about the evils of air pollution and burning fossil fuels, and then be seen to indulge in exactly those things, for their own convenience and entertainment.

It is hypocrisy, and they are guilty of it every time they fly somehwere on any plane, commercial or not.

It's difficult, but I am trying to understand just how they cannot be  conscious of how their actions and speeches clash. I hesitate to use the word 'thick', but it's almost incomprehensible to me that they seem to be so insulated in their own 'story' as to be unable to even start to comprehend the reality of their lives.  Can anyone explain it - apart from a dissociation from reality?

Can anyone explain it - apart from a dissociation from reality?

But it's not only that odious pair is it?

Emma Thompson has already been mentioned but there are many more like her, who jet around the globe, preaching to anybody daft enough to listen, about the evils of air travel. I've mentioned the 35,000 delegates to "COP28" who seemingly just cannot grasp the irony of their actions. I can only suggest that it is part of the "do you know who I am" syndrome. The rules made for the Little People cannot possibly apply to them because they and their lives are far too important.

The danger is in mission creep. If these lunatics manage to get restrictions on air travel implemented (either by excessive taxation or outright bans) that will not be enough. The argument (that it is not necessary for most people to travel by air) will then be extended. After all, it's not necessary for people to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar. So that will face villification. That will soon be extended to domestic rail and road travel. These people don't like others moving about (though feel they must do so themselves) and they will not rest until we're all living in so-called "Fifteen Minute Cities".

There must be a concerted pushback. And the way to begin is to call out hypocritical goons such as the Sussexes and the Thompsons of this world.

Jourdain - I think disassociation from reality is exactly what's going on here.

One of the perks, and pitfalls, of life for the rich and famous, is rarely, if ever, to be in the hearing of anyone who thinks anything they do and say, is ever anything except correct, and fabulous, in equal measure.

Without the vital necessity the rest of us enjoy - someone to argue and offer an alternative view, and sometimes to tell us to shut up and stop being an idiot - the Sussexes have become subject only to thoughts and actions that chime with theirs.

The longer you live in that rarified atmosphere, the further away from reality you drift.

Harry used to pine for his army career because it was the closest he could ever get to the 'real life' the rest of us lead.

I wonder if he even remembers it now ...

I'm sure certain people on the site scour the newspaper for any mention of the gruesome twosome just so they can get indignant on the interwebs. 

 

Get a hobby.
