Courtesy of Britain’s ever-reliable Sun newspaper, I see the following little activity has made the news:
A MILLIONAIRE businessman who attended Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle has been charged with sex offences.
Did he prowl the streets at night, grabbing women and violently raping them in alleyways?
The dad-of-four was allegedly inappropriately physical with employees — often young women working as PAs or receptionists.
Oh, that. Well, let’s leave it to the courts to see if any of this eeevil “#MeToo” stuff actually happened, because I’m more interested in the fact that interest in this case was sparked by his attendance at Ginge and Whinge’s wedding.
Now as little time as I have for the Sussexes, I don’t think they can be held responsible for what their wedding “guests” get up to — and I emphasize the word because I have no doubt that neither the bride nor the groom actually invited Mr. Badfinger to the wedding; rather, he was invited by their respective social secretaries / courtiers because he was a successful businessman. In other words, the New Californians had nothing to do with his behavior afterwards.
I can sympathize with them, actually, because I know for a fact that after one of my weddings (shuddup), at least four (and maybe more) of my invited guests engaged in a little group sex at someone’s house after the reception. And I personally invited all of them, but I certainly cannot be held responsible for their post-festivity fun ‘n games, can I?
I blame the “open bar” for all of it, myself. I don’t know whether the accused (above) can use the same defense.
Agreed, Most of the several hundred that attended my first wedding were friends of the various parents involved ( since they were footing the bill ) — same for my stepsister’s event — since our respective parents were always ready for a good excuse for yet another “blow-out” party. …. and it was a great party.
Can’t say the same thing for my first marriage…… did much better the second time. Didn’t invite anyone to the wedding and still together after 35 years.
The Sussexes have passed their point of peak popularity.
We should just point to them and laugh.
That’s actually more effort that I would want to expend on those two.
I agree with you, Kim, and will only add: “Just because someone says it, does not make it so.”
