What a horrible person I am.

I'm sure you'll agree.

It’s encouraging that you’re showing signs of self awareness but I remain unconvinced.

What a revolting post!

Wow! There's a lot of action on this thread

The retired police officer had a book due out

He also claims the reason he didn’t get the top honchos job in the NCA was because of his ethnic origins.

It was volver who said it tho growstuff big mistake but there you are.😄

It’s an easy claim isn’t it MerylStreep
In any case his ethnic origins didn’t hold him back, he had a very good job.

You’ll find that a lot of posters don’t take much notice of people who announce they are leaving.
Why the need to tell us. Was if for the flowers ?

It’s nice to have the top job, though, isn’t it? 😄

Och, I really am just laughing now, but thank you growstuff.

We've had the opinion that it was all planned in advance, that she was wearing a wire, the idea that Fuladi was an activist out to get Camilla but who had to settle for a lesser target, and praise for Farage. Maybe not all on this thread, sorry if I bring in different threads, it's not intentional.

Personal attacks are just grist for the mill. And now some poster none of us have ever spoken to before is the target. Hope Fleur sticks with us, we need all the sensible people we can get. I think we are in the presence of real racism and hatred and I don't have an answer to that.

Well, I did notice this. Nigel Farage. National Front. Ngozi Fuladi. NF! Coincidence? I don't think so 🤪 It's all a plot!!! They're trying to tell us something!!

I spotted this thread last night but decided not to comment until I saw which way it went.

A senior security person says that Meghan and Harry were subject to real and credible threats to their lives. And some people think an appropriate response is that they should stop complaining about it.

It's incredible, in a way. In another, the response is entirely expected.

I agree, and now it seems she was right about racism in the royal club after all!

Personally, I reckon Bill Gates is behind it all. I expect last time Lady Hussey had a Covid booster, she had a chip implanted. Meghan has somehow influenced Gates and persuaded him to "control" Lady Hussey by programming her to come out with offensive questioning.

I wonder if Lady Hussey has checked out Camilla's husband's heritage.

It was volver who said it tho growstuff big mistake but there you are.😄

No, it wasn't!!! I didn't make a mistake at all. I wasn't referring to volver's post. The revolting bit was the comment on volver's post.

.

If someone threatened your life, it would not make is less terrifying to know that others too had been threatened.

No, it wasn't!!! I didn't make a mistake at all. I wasn't referring to volver's post. The revolting bit was the comment on volver's post.

So growstuff you don’t find making fun of another poster revolting?

For some reason me agreeing with volver’s assessment of her own behaviour is revolting.

It’s a good job I’m of a different mindset to Volver otherwise I’d be making fun of you!!

What was the big threat about? Do you feel it's because she's black? As far as that goes, she does not even appear black. I cannot believe that there's that much animosity toward her because of race, so is it just because she's an American?

Sometimes I can't think of a single thing to post that wouldn't get me banned.

Belatedly Welcome new poster Fleur. Sorry you got both barrels straight away ..that was rather unkind. However anyone can contribute as they wish so please persevere !

Oh go on be a devil 😂😂

I cannot pass an opinion of whether I “like” her or not, I don’t know her, however I do know our media and parts of our public never felt she should marry OUR Prince Harry and he clearly loves her and if they’re happy together then good for them !! As for the whole privacy and working to pay for themselves, they’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t ! There’s a huge difference between choosing to share private photos and facts and being stalked by the media. Would I choose to make my living selling my stories ? Possibly not, but that didn’t stop her father or half-sister selling their stories and it seems many of us vilified her. Finally I just don’t think she ever really “got” our Royal Family or fully understood how controlled her life would become.

Goodness !! Just re-read all the threads and responses ! Rather nursery like ! Just for the record I’m not a paid up member of the Tory Party and I’m retired !! Live and let live is more my mantra and can we not have a debate without resorting to playground insults ?

Volver. Glad i gave you such a laugh. I should have omitted “in” but you would still sneer. I note you iften do so. You will not admit that Mrs Fulani used this episode for her own ends. If she was so upset i wondered why she had the foresight to record the conversation.

I am English but wish i had a quid for every time someone meets me and asks what part of Australia i am from. I never take offence because people show a genuine interest in the accent because they have relatives over there. But i am white so maybe that means i am not from an ethnic minority. Anyway i do enjoy giving you room to sneer and make fun at my expense! If I was local African Caribbean you would not do so! Thats life!

If she was so upset i wondered why she had the foresight to record the conversation.

She didn't record the conversation though. 🙂

Volver,

Well i saw it reported that the exchange WAS recorded. If it wasnt then how the hell could that dialogue have been memorised so exactly word perfectly?

This information is completely useless unless we have some supporting statistics to give us context.

For example:
Did they as a couple get more or less threats than other members of the royal family?
Did Meghan get more or less threats that other women who married into the Royal family?

These questions are just the tip of the iceberg.

At the moment we really don't know enough to comment.
