Getting a job can not be used with the analogy of a near death experience. Perhaps only for those who are lazy and complacent. ;) You are making it sound like getting a job and actually learning something might kill her and that is silly (and funny!). :lol: Perhaps the 'higher powers'...

Is it almost unpresedented the way this royal servant have betrayed his former employer? Anyone remember/know of any worse?

It is the most upsetting the way this guy is using the late Diana as his free ATM machine. :mad: Oh I need to repair the roof....I know I will sell a story about Di!

I doubt anyone had explicitly told her to not get a job. I mean she is a supposedly an independent adult correct? :rolleyes: She is a human being, she is bound to make a mistake once in a while. Don't see what that has to do with his fans? Do you not let a child learn how to walk because...

I am really looking forward to it. I think H Mirren is excellent. I also think it is very interesting to explore what the Queen's feelings might have been when Di died as so much focus was on the death itself.

Have not been on this board for the last few months, and it seems nothing has changed! Kate is still not doing anything constructive with her own life and spending her youthful years clinging on Will. And what is still beyond me is that her few die hard fans on here are still finding it...

Welcome Redfox :) That is what I have been told by my history teacher at school a few years ago. I think it will always be a matter of debate to what extent were the royals responsible and how big a part they played. I think some royals were much more involved than others. Many thanks for...

Thank you Martin. I really appreicate your thoughts. In that case I will probably try and borrow this book from friends instead of spending money on a new copy. :D Cheers! :)

Martin, would you be kind enough to share with us what you think of the book and what you found most interesting about it. I would really like to know what the readers think of it. Thank you :)

Apparently not!

I think Pinkylou was talking about cities that are comparable to London. I haven't heard anyone compare Inverness to London or Inverness to New York before! :D I personally have not heard anything about this. Are you talking about this forum? Its not a problem at all. She's white so...

Interesting :). Alexandra is actually 1/4 Chinese, 1/4 British caucasian, 1/2 Austrian, yet Royalty Magazine have called her an "Asian lady" before. I have never heard anyone call Mary of DK a "Scottish lady" which is actually her ethinicity! Nor would I imagine anyone calling a HK (full of...

I don't like living in London either, but I don't think the multi-cultural side has anything to do with it. I have seen British caucasians put their feet up (with their shoes) on the seats on buses, have seen them caught shop lifting, have seen them spit and swear in public places. So I...

So true. It's a very valid point that we should not easily assume for eg that all blacks share the same view just because they share the same ethinicity nor should we assume the same for the whites, Asians...etc

Imo, there is no such thing. But then I don't speak for everybody in the UK and may be some do consider themselves 'superior' whatever that means. I believe it only will if the 'majority' wants it. My feeling is that the younger generation (generally) do not regard the BRF as highly as the...

Don't take this the wrong way, but surely the situation you have described in relation to your home town in the USA is different to the ones being described about the UK? The native Americans are the Indians. So theoretically speaking, everybody else is an immigrant and immigrants from all...

It's a shame that its now become like an army barracks. I can see in this context that the way the council had done this with the aim of creating more facilities for the muslim community is actually increasing the divide and increasing the tension rather than the opposite.

Moley, do you mean that the council converted the school from a Christian school to a Muslim school and that Christian children can no longer attend this school unless they convert? Or are the local Christians not happy to send their kids to a Muslim school even if the school would have them?

I agree with the idea. I think its not only important from the integration point of view, but I think people might enjoy the experience and find it much more interesting if they make more effort to adapt to the customs and the way of life to the country which they have moved to. That's a...

Hope you don't mind me asking :), but if you move to China, Japan, India, Congo... would you describe yourself Chinese, Japanese, Indian and African? I think its not as hard for a person to move to another country similar to the one that is associated with their background or ethinicity...

I am British and I am not afraid to say it. But what I find is that people start asking me "where are you from" just because I am not white. And they are not asking whether I am from London, or Manchester or whatever, but what they are really asking is - my ethinicity. So some British caucasians...

I am not sure if they are different. I agree with what you've said. It was situational together with Hilter's gift of manipulation. And you are spot on about people will always dislike another group of people, to me its part of human nature and does not happen exclusively to a particular race...

That is really really sad. :mad: Imo racism is the most meaningless prejudice in the world.

I agree with Beatrixfan, from what I know of Hitler that he was a man with the gift to inspire and draw people to believe him. He provided a vision and inspired people who were in absolute desperation because of the aftermath of WW1. But I want to emphasis that he was a man who used his gift...

Thank you for pointing out this interview. Didn't know about it before and will definitely read it properly when I have more time. Cheers :)
