    Diana was just breathtakingly beautiful. A true lady. The Mitford sisters were such an interesting group. I used to visit Chatsworth House, when I lived near Derbyshire. Diana’s youngest sister was the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire and resided there until her passing. This was wonderful, thank you fren 🙏🙏

      ​@@LadyOfShaIott I'm fairly certain that I've tried to tell you before, but maybe I didn't phrase it clearly enough :-p YT picks up on certain word combos and will try to prevent you from shilling your own channel in chat. Which makes sense to a degree, because it can get annyoing, although certain bots don't have an issue...
      Uploading is very simple, and I learned the basics of editing with Adobe Premiere Pro by myself a few years ago (have also asked friends for advice a couple of times), so that part is okay as well. I don't do anything fancy, and haven't filmed any original videos (apart from a short unedited mobile phone clip, heh). I can cut and splice clips together, fade in/out, add subtitles and audio, and a few other tricks -- gets you a long way, for my purposes anyway. I think you should accept the children's offer, I'm sure they can teach you some editing basics as well ^^ hope to see you make a channel!

      How can you admire someone who left their very young children to pursue an affair with a man who had his own wife and kids? Are you an admirer of aristocratic degenerates who have their children raised by servants and abandon them on a whim? Her and her ilk deserve to be reviled, not respected.

She and her husband, Oswald Moseley, had all the answers as far back as the mid to late 30s and have been proven right ! For your information, Hitler did not want a war with UKstan ( formerly Great Britain) , Hitler was so infatuated with this smart beautiful woman that if the British government had taken on board what her and her husband we promoting, then 50 million would not have died. Ukstan, may have won the war but my God look at the state we are in today, it's a hellhole ! Britain declared war on Germany because a certain demographic here in UKstan were SCREAMING for war...hmmmm🤔 wonder who ? Basically the weak British government fell for it. I'm no great fan of Hitler, but it's strange we befriended other dictators who had done much worse, for instance , Stalin had reputedly killed between 10-20 million of his own people ...and churchill was an ally, drunk his health and said " he was a statesman we can trust". Ted Heath visited and befriended Chairman Mao, who everyone knew killed upwards of 25 million of his own people ..lesson over ..enjoy

All this " democracy " does is create a tribal, gang like culture where you are more loyal to your " gang" than for the benefit of your country. Also it creates greed with only the elitists benefiting. Joe "hairy legs" Biden is a prime example of mass corruption as was Obama, Clinton etc 🦍. We would also keep our own culture , history and heritage in tact and not become a multicultural hellhole full of people speaking different language and most on benefits contributing absolutely nothing to society other than increased cigarette sales..🦍🦍🦍.
