Meghan Markle Faced 'Disgusting and Very Real' Threats in the U.K., Former Counterterrorism Head Says

^So, for instance, someone might believe that a former Police Officer is fixated on a particular couple and sees a way of using them for publicity, when that's not true^

Volver , You have no more idea than anyone else regarding the above. How do you know whether this man has an agenda? YOU DON’T ( capitals for emphasis of course). You don’t know if he’s being truthful or maybe it’s his truth - hmm?

Either way, others have every right to discuss their opinions on here - whether you agree or not is irrelevant

What a very weird world some people inhabit, overflowing with weird ideas.

This is my opinion.

Discuss. (If you like. It's a free country 🤷)

Well that response is certainly weird and as for discussing it? Nah I’ve got some really boring chores to do,

Volver, Why is someone disagreeing with you weird? Tickingbirds comments were correct and factual.

How on earth can you question whether it's Basu's truth? Have you actually listened to the interview? Cathy Newman asked Basu a direct question, which he answered. It was a very small part of the interview, so hardly evidence of being "fixated". He also mentioned that there had been convictions, which will be a matter of public record, so it's unlikely that he's not been truthful.

Allsorts

Debatable.

Allsorts that’s the way it is on forums when a poster doesn't like or agree with a comment, they say it’s weird.Yeah, not much of an argument is it?😆

The Sussex’s Netflix documentary trailer has been released today, definitely to try and upstage The Prince & Princess of Wales’s visit to USA for the Earth Shot project.

Whatever you think of the Sussex’s as a couple they are extremely good at publicity for a couple who moved away to avoid publicity …

M&H doesn't need to upstage the Boston visit. They were upstaged by a racist among the inner circle of the royal family.

Also, they have no control over the trailer release date.

She as a person is history now and no longer worth discussing. Of no importance really.

If she is "history" - why do the media, in particular the RW tabloids, continually report her every move (or just about her every move) and why do the editorials about her keep popping up?

She may be of little importance to you, and many others, but the rise of groups of individuals involved in these organised far-right movements are a threat to everyone and to democracy itself. To be so dismissive because you think the person threatened is of no consequence I find quite shocking.

There are high-profile people I don't like - politicians among them - but I am appalled that they might be targeted by a rising self-styled militia in this country.

Disagree with me as much as you like. That's how we all learn stuff.

Try to back it up with actual reality though, not just rambling imaginings based on skewed thinking.

The Wales’s visit is to Earth Shot Project tomorrow which has been arranged many months in advance and known about, absolutely planned by Netflix.

As for the racism comment, I wasn’t there and have only heard one side, which shows clumsiness on behalf of Lady Hussey being interested in a guest.

Ah, that euphemism. Clumsy, aka racism.

Disagree with me as much as you like. That's how we all learn stuff.

Volver please do yourself a favour and think before you type. We don’t all learn by disagreeing with you. Accusing me of skewed thinking is a typical response from you when you have nowhere else to go.

With hindsight Dickens perhaps I should have announced my disinterest and abandonment of ALL Meghan topics on a different thread. This one is rightly emotive and includes a discussion in which I did not want to get involved.
Please transfer my "she's history to me" comment to the Netflix thread where boxes of popcorn are being handed out. 🍿 🍿 🍿
I apologise if my comment shocked you, it wasn't my intention to be dismissive of the actual thread content Dickens.

Well that bit's true.

You didn’t say she was history to YOU.

“ She as a person is history now and no longer worth discussing. Of no importance really.”

That is why it shocked me

For gods sake get a grip posters!
Joseanne made one comment that MM admirers dislike and cue ridiculous pearl clutching posts about it.

As for the racism it’s strange how the woman in question has perfect recall - word for word. I don’t find it odd that someone dressed in African looking clothes with dreadlocks would be asked about their heritage, especially by an 83 yr old. Doesn’t anyone wonder at the timing of this? Also complaints from a woman that described Charles and Camilla as domestic abusers. Notwithstanding Camilla does an awful lot of work with and for women escaping domestic abuse. I smell a rat.

I won’t put a tin hat on and hide behind the sofa either so unless you have something valid to say in reply, apart from screaming racist I won’t respond,

Well that bit's true.

Indeed!

Well said tickingbird.

Picking at a scab x 6 or is it x 7 ?
I have never reported a pile on to GNHQ but this is beginning to feel like one!
You can't even apologise ir explain on here anymore without the next round of onslaughts! !

I'm not a MM admirer, just willing to hear her out as I think she has been hurt. I also haven't read Al the comments so a bit unsure what's going on.

But if a comment comes out wrong

And a genuine explanation with an apology isn't accepted

Those aren't your people, just ignore them

Oh for goodness sake and the umpteenth time I am not an MM admirer !! I just reply to posts I feel are unfair

Can’t see a pile on. But if you like I’ll go and dig out my pearls and clutch them if that what thread monitors think I’m like!
Time for dinner…
