nauseus

I'd like to be able to say 'I couldn't have said it any better myself' but of course, I can't. It's all there and more - comprehensive and complete - an AN masterpiece, Bravo.

I'll just have Yorkshire pud instead of a bonk then.

4 am? Sounds like a cock-up.

A single witness, now tweeting about "the depth and breadth of racism that is enshrined in an institution that carries the heritage of empire, slavery, and inequality" i.e. the Royal Family. She has also now restarted crying foul about the alleged racist abuse given out by the Royals to Meghan Markle. To use the word enshrined is inaccurate and misleading - the English (and UK) royal line pre-existed empire and slavery (in this context) by hundreds of years - many Britons themselves were enslaved at the time of the start of this line, when the Danes were rampaging. Now although the references to a racist culture in Britain during the days of empire are true, to some extent, of those that actually explored abroad, but not necessarily the Crown. Remember that all European imperial powers (and others) were involved in slavery but that the British recognized fault and stopped it long before anyone else. The fantastic recall of the whole conversation (apparently verbatim) by Ngozi, the timing of these complaints relative to the US visit of the Wales's, and now the imminent award for their "heroic" stand against "structural racism" in the Royal Family, to Harry and Megan, from the Robert Kennedy human Rights Foundation all seem far too closely linked in time to be coincidental. Am I suspicious? Yes, I think so. However. it seems that these women had already complained about royal racism - if they were so offended then why did they attend the event? Imagine the hubris if a white-only organization was invited to the palace? Oh, wait a sec! Considering that the vast majority of nonwhite British have arrived into the UK in the last 70 years, race relations seem to be better to other long-standing divides elsewhere in the world. Having travelled to many parts of Africa and India, I would say that inter-ethic group gaps within those two continents are far worse than any race problems in the UK. When a popular institution like the Royal Family is singled out like this, all that does is inflame feeling and delay the arrival of the time of the best levels of inter-racial behaviour and tolerance that we can hope for.

Got a link to them?

These topic comments are just so much hot air!

But there's a severe chip supply shortage.

I didn't know that. Got a link?

We are really into pantomime season now, eh?

Why? Because your particular line is not being taken for the tow?

What do they think you should say?

Oh dear, how sad, nev..... well you know the rest.

Can you show the link to demonstrate the as well as anyone who needs it bit?

Well a few months bonus at least. I assume you're back on about the same as in August but still better than this time last year..

Not what I meant of course. And you don't really know the colour of the bush that Q jumped out of either.

I just input the statement made on behalf of Prince William. You interpret that yourself.

Did I say different?

It was a spokesperson : A spokesperson for Prince William said "racism has no place in our society".

Yes, they were all a bit hasty.

Your "surge" is a result of rate changes in US markets - not Thailand. Has the Baht "surged" against the Euro?

The Baht has not surged. US rates have shrunk and so has the dollar.

Nice one Hawkeye.

Deflection? One of your pet words, no doubt. The effects of this complaint are important to some, so the detail is important.

So would I. You're right, the tone is important. So is who actually started the conversation, as well as how that dialogue was recalled in such detail and then accepted without question?

Wow. What a memory!
