Rupert Murdoch - there is hope for all us middle aged men

[malumbu]

I often say (in what I hope is a humourous rather than creepy way) - if only I was 20 years younger (in terms of an attractive young lady).

Now I can say if "only I was 30 years older".

Nice to post something light hearted following yesterday's sad news about David Bowie.

I think you mean "if only I was 30 years younger and had an estimated wealth in excess on $10Bn"

I'd have to be in an persistent vegetative state to be in bed with either of them

[KidKruger]

Things are looking up.

Middle aged now includes 84yr olds.

Can't wait, and I'm still a youngster (now).

I'm enjoying that mental image

[Salsaboy]

I reckon she's a gold-digger.

[maxxi]

She's going to do The Graduate in Sydney and wants better reviews than she got last time. Love a girl who'll go the extra mile.

[Louisa]

I really like Jerry Hall. Why can't people be free to find love without everyone being so cynical all the time? She deserves some happiness after all these years. Good on her I say. Older women don't have to be left on the shelf.

Louisa.

[*Bob*]

Well said, Louisa. Everyone stop being so cynical and give a harmless nice old man and the girl who captured his heart a break.

It's a fairytale romance.

[steveo]

Let's face it he's a good looking lad

Friend posted on Facebook: "Sometimes you get what you deserve. In Rupert's case it's a gold digging old skank".

[edcam]

"Skank" is not the most feminist description of a woman I've ever read on this forum.

[Louisa]

She did a great documentary series recently travelling across America and I really enjoyed it. She's not had the easy time of it in the press over the years and if she finds happiness who is anyone to judge? I don't understand why people are cynical. If a younger male celebrity got with a wealthier older woman, I bet we wouldn't have half the negative comments, and as for the reference to "skank" and "gold digger", disgraceful.

Louisa.

[TheArtfulDogger]

It's the same fairytale dream that Bernie Ecclestone lives

Now there is a man who you can truly say attracts gold digging wives

Good luck to older men who can attract younger women purely on the basis of love I say 🤓

[Seabag]

Oh leave them be, who really cares for them in a genuine way

He's got what he wants and vice versa

And so what it's cash/love based

End

[pablogrande]

At least she's at an age where she won't be worrying about changing nappies in a years time.....oh hold on

Somebody posted on Facebook "Jerry and The Pacemaker" :))

I don't know much about Jerry Hall. I do remember feeling sorry for her when it turned out her "marriage" to Mick Jagger had been a sham.

But Murdoch is no muppet, it's not like there won't be a pre-nup in place if they do get wed.

I agree Louisa that an older woman should be free to find love, but why doesn't she go down the Babs Windsor route and get herself a younger man?

There are no guarantees with either an older or a younger man; JH and RM have their reasons for choosing each other, I'm amazed at the level of vitriol levelled at both of them - I, for one, wish them well, they're neither of them in the first bloom of youth and they've found their own happiness...

Both of them? Really? Jerry Hall probably doesn't deserve some of what is being said about her, but Murdoch deserves a hell of a lot more. Nasty human that he is.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I have no opinion on Jerry Hall, but Murdoch's influence on the world is far from positive IMO.

[Alan Medic]

This isn't newsworthy is it? Who cares?

[Otta]

It's as newsworthy as David Bowie kicking the bucket. One could easily argue that Murdoch is much more influential in our world than Bowie ever was.

[red devil]

If you're taken in with the lies that the Sun prints, then yeah, it could be argued that Murdoch was more influential...

[Otta]

Plenty of people are RD. And it's not just The Sun is it?

And lets not forget it's only quite recently that a lot of people have been so against The Sun, for quite a long time "the nation" loved it.
