Well it's good in her position that she does speak up.

I’m probably completely wrong . There will be just some discussion of a speech......

I think the 'starter for ten' is all yours, Lucca.

It's possible to discuss a speech which has been in the News this morning without any rants.

But I assume this is just a “starter for ten”.....pages of rants about Harry and Meghan.

Do you have to be an “A list” celebrity to express an opinion ?

I would have applauded this speech had Meghan been an A list celebrity in her own right and not used her marriage to a member of the RF as a leg up on to the platform she now occupies.

Now she's back in LA where she always wanted to be, she's in the thick of massive racist issues involving violent demonstrations. It seems it was ever thus in the USA.

I couldn't help thinking back to her self pitying comments about racism in the UK. Now we're caught up in the turmoil caused by an act of racist violence in her own country where she fled to 'escape' her unfair treatment over here. hmm
