You haven't heard any other regional accents? I lived in London for 25 years and I can tell you I heard plenty of Scousers, Geordies, Londoners, West Country, East England, Northern Ireland, Black Country, Yorkies, different types of Scottish brogue and Mancs and many more. All of them were distinctive and all of them immediately told me what country/region of the UK they were from (or gave me a very good idea). I am talking about these days though , things were different 25 years ago and these days people don't have strong regional accents 1

Fruit Trader Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Born in the UK with parents from the Caribbean, Ngozi Fulani (real name Marlene Headley) is a confrontational black activist with severe identity crisis. One can only assume the African name has been adopted for added effect. This woman chose to confuse everyone by wearing fancy dress to a formal event at Buckingham Palace. When someone chose to clear up any confusion around her identity, she played the racist card knowing full well no one would dare call her out. 1
Mac Mickmanus Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 1 hour ago, herfiehandbag said: Lady Hussey is elderly, and her discussion perhaps revealed notions of " identity" which are, maybe, misconceived. But perhaps one should consider: the complainant was wearing African traditional clothing, had elaborately braided hair in the African style, a Nigerian name, and was representing an organisation - "Sistah Space" - which takes it's name from a Carribbean patois. Interestingly, the complainant has publicly (Twitter is public, yes?) accused both King Charles and Queen Camilla of perpetrating racially inspired domestic violence on the Duchess of Sussex. Finally, and I mention this because it has previously been raised in the public domain, the financial accounts of her charity ,"Sistah Space", apparently make "interesting reading". I suspect that she is a fraud. I rather suspect that Lady Hussey thought so to. Does having such a suspicion make me a racist? Yes, Ngozi has previously made allegations that the Royal Family are racist , she claimed that the reason why Harry and Megan were not invited to stand with the Queen at her Jubilee celebrations was because Megan is Black and the Royal Family are racist 1

thaibeachlovers Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 1 hour ago, johnnybangkok said: Where to start. Firstly the conversation was witnessed by several people who all back up Ngozi Fulani version of events. The context or the inflexions of speech actually backed her up. Secondly, who cares what she was wearing. She has African heritage and works for Sistah Space, a charity supporting African & Caribbean Heritage women affected by domestic & sexual abuse. If she choses to reflect her charity in what she wears then that's no ones elses business other than hers. It's also irrelevant as if there was any doubt about her nationality, it should have been cleared up when she told Lady SH TWICE that she was British. Lady Bull in a China Shop didn't care about this though, pressing on with her inate prejudice and clumsy questioning to the point where it bacame offensive. THAT'S the important part of all of this. IMO there is nothing important in any of this much ado about nothing, except for those that seek to attack the Royals by any means possible. Important is the NHS in strife; an old woman saying something someone didn't like is not important. 1

I've done so many times, but never an intended insult. Sometimes people misunderstand what I said as I don't vet my words for 10 minutes to see if they conform to the politics of the moment before speaking. Luckily I'm not a target for the woke media. Should I ever become a target of the woke media I have a Churchillian salute for them. Her 'job' appeared to be that of unpaid advisor/ confidente to the Queen and Camilla. Part of that job also seemed to involve accompanying them to diplomatic functions. Given that, I'd expect her to act diplomatically. 3

I didn't, and I traveled around all of Ireland, not just Dublin and Co Kerry.
