It wasn’t the lip that was stiff that caused the problems in the Royals...........
So, you would have preferred that her generation fall to their knees in the face of the Nazi war machine and surrender? Just so as to not to have to maintain a stiff upper lip?
Britain will not survive this brood of simpletons.
He must not be very smart.
Having just watched “They Shall Not Grow Old”, and listening to the testimonies of the men who fought WWI, what struck me was how nonchalant they were about the whole thing, it was basically just a job to do.
Great. So William is now giving the same type of boring, out of touch, PC-scold, New Age touchy-feely speeches as his father.
I’m much more concerned about the newest generation of pansies and snowflakes who can’t handle life myself. Bad things happen. That which does not kill you makes you stronger.
The mental health epidemic in Great Britain is called liberalism, and the mangy, whacko Muslims they’ve let override their culture, and traditions.
Great, now we have snowflakes for Royals
Can he really be this bloody stupid?
The “stiff upper lip” thing in the UK goes back centuries and so does “mental health” problems! Looks like his moronic s-i-l had struck again with her lunatic California/Hollyweird crap!
well, they did let their country get taken over without so much as a whisper of protest. When Mohammed became the #1 boys name, you know GB had taken a turn.
too much inbreeding in the British royal family (and many royal families, going back thousands of years)
Mental health is a quandry because inmates have run the asylum for over 50 years. Certifiably crazy people wrote political science screeds that are still taught today. Homosexuality was ‘normalized’ then even celebrated as a higher virtue.
I thought the NHS was suppose to take care of all of that.
Part of the problem is when “stiff upper lip” meets the crazy “you’re responsible for *everything*, and can be retroactively condemned” bullies.
“Stiff upper lip” works in a sane world, where the fascists and anti-bullying bullies aren’t going to simply take advantage of it.
What a bozo. What does he think got the UK through the Blitz and fighting the nazis for two years by themselves?
He’s right. And this is why Pink Floyd wrote the Wall. An ode to overbearing British motherhood.
I always thought it was called dignity.
the ‘stiff upper lip’ originated long before WW2, William. Chin Up, Carry On, has been a British credo since the beginning of the empire. The lesson being, you never disgrace your family name and honor and you never go full psycho and lower yourself to the level of a savage. You find a constructive way to deal with issues. As opposed to savages, who are on permanent full psycho and react emotionally to every issue.
He’s really not totally off on that. Along with their bravest having been killed in wars for generations.
But was it the wisest thing to say? Probably not.
