The Princess of Wales has called for an end to the "stigma" surrounding addiction, and urged people to offer "empathy and support" to those dependent on alcohol, drugs or gambling.
Another mistake, abolishing shame as the Left wanted us to do hasn’t ushered in a paradise on earth, has it?
Catherine, who sent the message to mark Addiction Awareness Week, said "significant progress" has been made to better understand addiction, but warned more needs to be done. The princess is the patron of The Forward Trust, a charity that tries to break the cycle of addiction and is behind the campaign running from 23-30 November.
Ah, a mouthpiece and figurehead, like her long lost mother-in-law-who-never-was. Just another modern example of why the Monarchy is no longer something we can be proud of.
She said addiction was "not a choice or a personal failing, but a complex mental health condition that should be met with empathy and support".
We have enough of those going untreated and their sufferers free to spread misery already, don’t we? Why add more?
She added: "But still, even now in 2025, people's experience of addiction is shaped by fear, shame and judgement. This needs to change.
"The stigma surrounding those who face addiction allows it to thrive behind closed doors, impacting families and communities, and ultimately ruining lives."
Are the progressives determined to strip every last vestige of personal choice from everything? Sorry, rhetorical question, I guess…
