LondonLax Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 It seems like wasn’t just a case of interested questions to get to know someone better. If you read the alleged exchange she was being pretty sarky and belittling. The lady being questioned sounded like she answered each question pretty genuinely but didn’t catch on that the information this woman was actually after was essentially ‘how come you are here if you are black?’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2022 In fairness in a former job I visited London head office for the first time, and the first person I met asked where I was from. 'Birmingham' I replied. 'No I mean originally' they asked. '... Birmingham. Don't have much of an accent I know'. Anywho, this case is a dumb old biddy sheltered from anything but the highest and whitest elements of British society to the extent she's in a different world, being a racist. In her mind, a black person, if they are officially British, born here, live here, work here, speak in a British accent, isn't really British. Which is wrong, and an opinion for the birds. Thankfully it's dying out. Literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post choffer Posted December 2, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2022 I think we’ve all misunderstood the situation. This really made me change my opinion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 It used to be the case that not so long ago, that people from Sutton Coldfield would get offended, should they be mistaken for brummies, but since the anschluss, that privilege has been reserved solely for Silhillians, who retain their own council. But it has to be stressed that mistaking Silhillians for brummies was never ever a sacking offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 When Prince Andrew “settled” his case against Virginia Giuffre I assumed all those millions were drawing a line under it from his side… seems it only bought a 1 year gag on her. Why on earth did he agree to that? It expires next week so we can probably expect more interviews and details from her about the sex abuser prince. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to retread the stuff my brother did to me, but even that aside, if brothers havent fought at least once, that doesnt seem normal to me. The media are going crazy for it this morning and it makes me think, do you not have siblings? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it happened not because of some brotherly spat but because of William piling in on Harry's wife to the tune of all the UKs most frothing media. I had a couple of fights with my brother but to try to compare the two situations is absurd. If my brother did to me what he's accused of here you'd be there would be a massive family rift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted January 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2023 I do agree with your point about not making all of this shit public though, Dem, especially when they moan about the intrusion. Enjoyed this bit in an article https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/05/europe/prince-harry-book-prince-william-physical-attack-intl-hnk Quote The couple said the unrelenting media coverage ultimately led them to quit working as members of the Royal family. Harry admitted in the six-part documentary that he didn’t deal with Meghan’s deteriorating mental health “particularly well” at first. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted January 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 5, 2023 Aren't they a bit late with this story line? I thought the soaps saved this shit up for Xmas to boost the ratings The more you talk about it, the more you enable them. Our taxes pay for this f***ing soap opera 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
