One of the worst stories I heard about armed combat was an SAS patrol. He was an avid bird watcher. He saw some Carrion vultures cruise down on a part of Yugoslavia. He thought: "Why would they be there?" Then he saw 2 men nailed to a wall in a cruciform position. I know massacres have been going on for some time, but in the 1st World war things took a turn for the worse with chemical weapons. Before then men had to fight with chilvary. Now there is no chivalry left in the world! John

I'm not wanting to say anything disrespectful to anyone here, But there was a blackman on a free public transport bus who dropped his walking stick. "I said let me get that for you" He said: "Uh Uhm, thank you sir" I didn't have the wherewithal to say, "Your Welcome, or it's an honour Sir" When I went in to my local bank, in South Carolina, a grey-haired old lady wouldn't go to the black teller. I was truly simple about it. I didn't realise until I got 100 yards down the road that it was a racist incident. Well afterwards, I thought well, it gets me served quicker, gets me home quicker, more computer games to play & beer to drink quicker! I win! The racists lose John

YES, President Barack Obama was the 1st black president, which is good & he was a good president, but he grew up very much in a life of privilege for the main part. People saw him as a Harvard Professor, until he cared for the common man in his presidency during weather storms. I'd like to see people from a less privileged background in power more often. Even Tony Blair went to Oxbridge, but money is all that matters, isn't it? John

Nothing of the sort. Harry has not liked his brother's advice to be cautious and proceed slowly about his choice of wife, failed to explain "the job" to the woman otherwise she would have run like his previous girlfriends and wouldn't have married him, and then oversold his place in the pecking order (she's discovered she's married the wrong prince and its not a popularity contest like US President) , and then failed to explain to her how titles worked and she has extrapolated that as being something to do with colour. It's all in Megan and Harry's head. This is not going to end well for Harry till he gets a grip. Sibling rivalry is real.

Rubbish. All in your head. I have a bunch of girl cousins who've worked their way through life in good jobs no one ever told them they couldn't do anything. One is a Dr, one is a geophysicis (and her son is Maths Prof Harvard), one is a research pharmaceutical chemist, and other one a former interpreter (gift for languages) and teacher ....and discrimination against women is out there in the workforce.?
