Which confirms what I heard myself and isn't challenged by anyone else who heard it. So it ought to be regarded by everyone as correct and not doubted just because it doesn't suit a particular agenda. Why should one person’s version be taken as gospel? It may that person who has the agenda. Edited by Spiderman (04 Dec 2022 9.18am)

According to Peter Hitchens in the Mail today there is no recording as he has checked. And before anyone says oh it's the Mail if you read his column he does not agree with what the lady In Waiting said if she actually said it. His point is about being found guilty with no evidence. So unless someone can come up with a recording that the media is currently unaware of .... Yes indeed. Thanks. But we all knew this as it has been seen by nobody else. The bold is why I took issue with WE, he did the same. And invented a story to back it up. So, as you say, unless someone can come up with a recording that the media and/or WE saw....

Your first paragraph cannot be argued with. Hopefully we have learned and continue to do so. The second is very dubious indeed. The link is less than convincing and some of the claims made have nothing to do with slavery, and are presented without any evidence. It all depends on what you regard as slavery, which for me is a compulsion to do work imposed by one person on another without reward or willing agreement. That said I know it exists. 20 years ago I helped someone escape from slavery in the Lebanon. It's a long story but they had gone there willingly, via an agency, to work as a domestic worker. They had their passport confiscated, received no pay, were expected to work from 4 am to midnight, slept on the kitchen floor, were not allowed to leave the premises and were sexually abused by the men in the house. When she did run away, when out shopping with her employer, she approached a policeman for help. He took them to the police station, where she was raped and then returned to her employer. It's a nasty world out there. Through a friend of hers I managed to get her embassy to find her, remove her and return her. FFS, add slave saver to your list of marvellous achievements. But wait, let's talk about you for while. Whether it's true or not is irrelevant to my point of your self promotion which I think few if any on here care about other than as a catalyst for eye rolling. Edited by HKOwen (05 Dec 2022 9.33pm)
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

Apparently, the Nobel prize committee has recently turned to the HoL for anecdotes and opinions based in fantasy for the nominations.

I admire your service to the lady concerned, but your story only highlights the concerns the rest of us have about what potentially is turning up on the South Coast every day.
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |

The bottom line of all the whataboutery is that Afghan, Syrian, Ukrainian refugees are understandable. Perhaps undesirable but people will understand.
