I have just read that Harry & Meghan are planning to visit Columbia later this month for 3/4 days.
Could someone explain why they would be safe in Columbia, but not in the UK ?
Ditto, Nigeria.

There are 2 imprisoned for threats against a child

This is real

No named cases of prosecutions *VioletSky, named would have hit the front pages, ‘you said people have been prosecuted’

I shared one before your reply

Why do you find it so hard to believe their family has received real death threats?

You don't believe the police?

I find it so difficult to believe compulsive liars

VioletSky Fri 02-Aug-24 14:28:17

The police are compulsive liars?

Anniebach Fri 02-Aug-24 14:35:59

M and H are compulsive liars, police have to act on allegations,
does not mean there is truth in them.

H and M are compulsive liars, fact

It doesn’t take long to find vile threats online some people wouldn’t believe the abuse suffered by many women ( particularly those of colour in the public eye) .

H and M are compulsive liars, fact

But it is a fact that people are in prison for issuing death threats

Is this a case of, where a person dislikes someone so much they are willing to say awful things about them online even over things that have been proven they are telling the truth for...

Isn't that exactly what Megan and Harry are genuinely suffering through and saying is happening?

What evidence is there of compulsive lying by the way? Everyone gets stressed or upset and says things they regret, that's normal

But saying people are impulsive liars is a huge accusations, where is the proof of that?

Well some people on this thread write angry comments with unfounded truths and repeat . Just like Trump . Repeat lies about M and H and it becomes a fictionalised truth .

If Harry hadn’t made such a song and dance about security from the very day he and Meghan flounced they would have been able to slip in and out of the UK with their own security just like any other high profile American celeb. The more he flogs this dead horse, the more the media will whip up the wrong kind of attention.

Meghan has no intentions of ever coming back as she knows she won’t be warmly received. It’s not all her fault. Harry created this monster!

Such a misogynistic comment ! Shame on you !

Anniebach Fri 02-Aug-24 14:48:27

I repeat what H and M have said not what is claimed in the press

But the police said it? In a recorded interview

You are blinding yourself with your own dislike... That must take so much emotional energy

LucyAnna2 Fri 02-Aug-24 14:51:12

.

VioletSky Fri 02-Aug-24 14:51:39

And people who are a little further along the spectrum to hatred of them, far right pod casters, are in prison for death threats and inciting violence

Who would ever support that by attacking a family?

Anniebach Fri 02-Aug-24 14:51:45

With respect I have no wish to feed a need

🤔

Misandrist surely, if anything? Blaming Harry?

(Although problem more truthful than anything)

VioletSky Fri 02-Aug-24 14:52:54

Sorry, I am very baffled by this

Facts are facts and a pile of wrongs has never made a right

Maybe he has armed protection unlike the UK.

He doesn't like paying for it, and he does get protection here.

You do realise if he had personal security he would get it wherever he traveled paid for by the British tax payer?
Do you really want our taxes to be thrown away on some very entitled rich people?

I can think of a million ways to spend it usefully, before considering him.

vegansrock Fri 02-Aug-24 15:16:29

But he isn’t allowed his own armed protection whilst in the Uk - he did offer to pay for it.

VioletSky Fri 02-Aug-24 15:19:43

Some of the public quite like them

Anniebach Fri 02-Aug-24 15:20:26

Allow American firearms into our country !

VioletSky Fri 02-Aug-24 15:32:59

Do guns have a nationality?

It's against the law here.

Anniebach Fri 02-Aug-24 15:38:05

So he wants the law changed
