Interesting.
And the children starting school here.

My nuanced self-deprecation was clearly over nuanced.

Lighten up.

OldFrill Tue 25-Aug-26 16:51:43

Are you making a nuance of yourself 😁

ferry23 Tue 25-Aug-26 17:01:38

Always OldFrill, always 😄

Ooh I do love a good nuance!

What would happen if the unthinkable happened and 😲 Trump became PM? I was chatting to a couple of people recently who worried if they might be deported if so. One German, the other one a Commonwealth citizen with ILR but neither have citizenship.

We do deport thousands of non citizens who do not have a visa to stay and anyone who has a visa and gets involved in any criminal activity is likely to be deported.

Or are we saying we shouldn't depart foreign law breakers.

Deport

I did wonder whether to bother answering your post as you have completely misrepresented what I said, as you know. Deliberately or not?

However, to set the record straight, the people I know and was talking about are not criminals.
They are concerned that, if Farage ever became PM, their status might change and they might be deported.

icanhandthemback Wed 26-Aug-26 11:31:59

JenniRen, I know of similar people to you who are also worried that someone like Farage will come along and uproot their lives. However, to bring things back into context regarding Harry and Meghan, I am sure Meghan will be safe from deportation.

JenniRen Wed 26-Aug-26 11:41:13

Not me personally , but a friend and neighbour and a lady who works in a shop I frequent. Also a couple of relatives, both working in the health sector.

Anyway, as long as Meghan will be all right 😀
Perhaps she'll start a protest, she used to be good at that!

Feeling pleased today as the DT appeared to be M&H free.

Just looked at the BBC website to see Breaking News: M&H due to arrive today.

Oh No.

JenniferEccles Wed 26-Aug-26 12:39:03

Why does M always grip hold of Harry?
Is she afraid he’ll escape?!

Smileless2012 Wed 26-Aug-26 12:43:49

Probably.

You spoke too soon. They’re Back! .

Smileless2012 Wed 26-Aug-26 13:55:47

Landed at Birmingham airport and no police escort when they left.

MarieElla Wed 26-Aug-26 14:01:39

Ha!
No police escort!
How the mighty have fallen.
Z list celebrities!

Smileless2012 Wed 26-Aug-26 14:03:30

Hopefully will put pay to any concerns that security will be paid for by us MarieElla.

Come on! Do you have to be so mean about someone you’ve probably never met? Stop reading the Daily Mail.

I think, ironically by playing peek a boo with the children and photographs, they have made things so much worse for them.

I'm not overly bothered about M and H and their family but plenty of people are.

Smileless2012 Wed 26-Aug-26 14:51:55

It wasn't from the Daily Mail it was ITV news.

They may have done that on purpose. More publicity that way?
But who knows.

If neither is going to be a working Royal[and the were not in the US, so dont know how it worked over there], is there going to be some sort of "deal" worked out with the Press[but since some have been sued, how well will that go?], to not photograph, particularly the children?
And I presume there are independent press. Not to mention Joe Public.

And will they have their own, paid for by themselves, security?
How effective will that be?

AGAA4 Wed 26-Aug-26 15:05:09

Like all my family and friends I have no interest in this little family but as with all families I hope they will be happy.
I draw the line at paying my and other people's taxes on security for them.

But there's the dilemma...they are not ordinary the children are they? Poor things.

Birmingham airport?

Did they come from Alicante then?

Not been back to the USA to pack up and say Goodbye to everyone?

Curiouser and curiouser……

Yes but maybe LLFL knows it’s from the DM, because she reads it avidly herself.
How else would she know?

My brother used to work in the USA, they always travelled from Birmingham via Dublin, it was quicker and easier than getting to London.
