But where are you really from? Lady-in-waiting has resigned.

Eastbourne Mam.... "are they Leopard shoes you have on"

"No Mam Leopards don't wear shoes. "

 

[Deleted member 294929]

If you are white, I'll wager nobody has ever said it to you.

Yes John it happens. You don't hear about it as if there's chip we eat them before they go cold.

Apparently, that's only hosses...

I knew a Fireman who supported Chelsea when Mourinho was in charge. He was nuts about them

He called the main hose on his Engine "Hosea"

I'm taking you at your word that you know everything that was said.

Lady SH: "Where are you from?"

Ms Fulani: "Sistah Space."

Lady SH: "No where do you come from?

Ms Fulani: "We're based in Hackney."

Lady SH: "No, what part of Africa are YOU from?"

Ms Fulani: "I don't know, they didn't leave any records."

Lady SH: "Well, you must know where you're from, I spent time in France. Where are you from?"

Ms Fulani: "Here, UK"

Lady SH: "No, but what Nationality are you?"

Ms Fulani: "I am born here and am British."

Lady SH: "No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?"

Ms Fulani: "'My people', lady, what is this?"

Lady SH: "Oh I can see I am going to have a challenge getting you to say where you're from. When did you first come here?"

Ms Fulani: "Lady! I am a British national, my parents came here in the 50's when..."

Lady SH: "Oh, I knew we'd get there in the end, you're Caribbean!"

Ms Fulani: "No lady, I am of African heritage, Caribbean descent and British nationality."

Lady SH: "Oh so you're from...."

Guru Murthy just interviewed her on C4 pointing out he had been asked that question several time. That finally got her to state what happened, She was asked where she came from. Reply UK A reply from some one being bloody minded as it is very obvious what the question was about, ethnic origin. She then went onto the famous colour of the baby saying this shows what the royals are like. Well if my son married some one who wasn't white I would wonder as well. Not because I am a racist but because that aspect can be rather variable.

If her name plate was covered up so perhaps the first question should have been what is your name but we all know what name plates are for.

Trouble maker making noises about nothing really and will have known what the question she objected to was really about.

If you are white, I'll wager nobody has ever said it to you.

Nonsense, my accent has led to this question on more than one occasion.

 

[Trazor]

Yes.
Lady in waiting meant
"oh my god you're one of those foreigners. I find that remarkable, so you must tell me all about your ancestry until I am satisfied, because I am entitled to know".

I hope someone was communicated to Lady SH
" you're a disgusting piece of sh1t so off you f*ck".

Take her "Title" off her.

Utter nonsense, she's 83 years old, quite possibly not the full ticket, what a hateful little man you are.

Druth?

The easily offended, will always demand to be offended.

Hadn't noticed that but what was she doing. Walking around probably shaking hands and making small talk. Sometimes they wear gloves to avoid getting calluses. The queen mother now well gone, tell you something she had an extremely hard hand shake. No crush but rock solid. plenty of practice.

 

[^woody^]

Should have just gave her a fist bump, dap and "right on sista" greeting.

Obnoxious argumentative trouble making old cow.....


I bet she argues in her sleep...

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Is this lady in waiting really 83? Entirely different generation. She is well and truly pre-woke and almost certainly meant no offence.

Rubbish.
Just didn't believe she was British

For somebody well educated and so high in "the system" she would know very well how to ask about a person's heritage. And how to play the "master" in conversation.
