salford1:See this newbie. You most certainly arrived Canada within the last 10years & already forming landlord. Go ask your seniors who got there in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, let them tell you what they had to hear and go through at the hands of Canadians, worse things than you can ever imagine. 2 Likes |

The British have rejected Harry's wife, and he has also rejected them. The snub is second to non. They definitely felt it. He took back the reins of control in his own little way. Someone says Harry is regretting his decisions. Same Harry that played a certain type of music- Stone Rose's "this is the one" song on his instagram page at his last engagement? In Jenifas voice - Bye Britain, See ya, catsch ya, larra Many on here really do not understand British people's innuendos and passive aggressiveness. Harry is properly British, and properly schooled in their ways. He can hold his own well. It's a game he is well versed at. Some lyrics I found interesting in the song... I'd like to leave the country For a month of Sunday Burn the town where I was born If only she'd believe me Bellona Belladonna Burn me out or bring me home Etc. Very nice rock and roll song. A man utd favourite too . Aswearrit, Harry is raving mahdd.... Mahhhddd o 2 Likes |

crackkhaus:Atleast, Canada identified a race problem and fixed it, and still trying hard to fix them or whatever remnants that are left. The "senior" Nigerians I met here are all successful in their careers and are doing well. Our last minister of immigration,.Ahmed Hussein was a Somalian refugee that moved to Canada in 1994. Imagine a former refugee becoming the chief landlord I have never felt more at home since I moved here. I am a bonafide landlord. No more hostility like I felt when I lived in Britain 2 Likes |

Lyrics from Stone's Roses' "This is the one" song I absolutely love it : A girl consumed by fire We all know her desire From the plans that she has made I had her on a promise Immerse me in your splendour All the plans that I have made This is the one (×5) She's waited for This is the one (×3) Oh this is the one This is the one She's waited for I'd like to leave the country For a month of Sunday Burn the town where I was born If only she'd believe me Bellona Belladonna Burn me out or bring me home And this is the one This is the one (×5) She's waited for Chai what a song.

salford1:I live and work in UK but I have never been told to to back to any jungle. Once, one of my kids was called coconut head bc he barbed off all his hair by one of his classmates and he was very unfortunate to say it close to my hearing. The mum shed all the tears in river Thames that day cos she thought I will report her boy and it's close to expulsion if not expulsion instantly. I school in UK too. The only diff is that they expected( especially in school) that we don't have something in our head. But in my class, the blacks there are showing them pepper. These are people that left school maybe 10 yrs ago. I have been to the mall in my early days in UK like twice and had problem with my purchase, money and stuffs. Both times, British people next to me thought I needed those stuffs but don't have money to pay for them as I just abandoned them and went out to clear my head, one tried to pay for them, another ran after me and stuffed 10pounds bill in my hand. Had to run back and gave her the money back after convincing her I don't actually need those stuffs immediately and can still buy them if I want to. My husband's landlady when he moved over was a brit, when he got his own place, this lady equipped his house from start to finish except fridge and washing machine and tv. The guy don't know how to say no to her. Subtly told her I want to replace some so she won't feel offended and shipped them to charity. She bought lots of designer wears for me, and when we arrived, made us feel at home with her kindness. I had to insist she stop at a time cos I'm not used to that. So will i say now they are bad? Every country has their good and bad. And yes, u all model yourself after British. Britain paved way for women revolution. Almost all first world country look up to them. Without Britain, we would still be answering our husbands sir. U will not win this at all. I made my research very well. (I love Canada o, don't get me wrong) but every country has their strength and weakness. Don't try to rubbish Britain cos u wanna massage your ego 1 Like |

sassysure:My ego The majority of black Britons know better. I schooled in Manchester and my experience was different. Told to go back to my country a couple of times. I should have asked which one then sef (Nigeria, Ghana or Austria)? but I was young then A Polish would not have been told to FO based on the colour of his skin. Another woman almost hit myself and my cousin in a bus in Dagenham. (My cousin has same complexion like Meghan). The offence was that there were lots of non white in the bus, and she was so angry and bitter about how coloured people were taking over Dagenham. She could not even hide her hate. These are just a few example of many racist behaviour. No point in listing them all here.

salford1: I just told u my experience, everybody have their own experiences. Just like the one I posted about Canada. So until I suffer racist attack, I still remain neutral. U hate Britain and don't want to see anything good about brit. So also some people will tell you confidently that Canada is very racist subtly. Infact from.what I have been reading so far, Canada tend to sweep such under the carpet. Exactly like u are doing. And show the world what they want to see. 1 Like |

sassysure:I admitted that Canada has it's own problem too, but atleast they are making serious effort to fix the racial problems, but Britons try too hard to downplay and act like they don't have a race issues. A good example was the video posted earlier on this thread. please don't get me wrong, I do not hate Britain. All my siblings live in Britain. I was just an outcast that decided to move away. I felt the country was holding me back from reaching my full potential. Is BNP still a significant political party in Britain? When I left the UK in 2012, they had strongholds in Barking/Dagenham and some other London borough. I was also appalled when I visited the UK last summer (my first visit since I left). I was shopping around Oxford and somehow found myself in a free Tommy Robinson protest . Like seriously, in 2019 I had to take pictures to show my work colleagues of Britain in 2019. . They were shocked. I felt like a tourist and also was a bit shocked to be honest i.e. seeing a bunch of racists having the guts to lead a protest in broad daylight . This would have been a norm to me in previous years. I still miss Britain though, and the craziness that goes on there, the pomp and circumstance marches played at events, the crazy football fans (especially when there is a champions league match played at home), the aroma from the fish and chips shops, the kebabs etc. I have promised myself that I would visit atleast once every year. Canada can be very boring due to the cold and, the peeps here being so laid back. Rule, Britannia! 1 Like

crackkhaus: Marriage is certainly not a favor. Meghan has her own money, celebrity status and following even before she got married to a member of the British family. Every bride wants things done her way at her wedding. Even those that can’t rub two cents together. Meghan is not an exception. As for being a divorcée, it does not make her subhuman. It probably makes her a more mature individual. And what is the comparison with Beyoncé? Please? Oh and you’re absolutely wrong. Meghan Markle is a first rate actress. That you don’t know or follow her does not mean you should even consider reducing her worth. She does not need the money or fame from the royal family. What she needed and asked for was acceptance and not to mold her into anyone’s concept of a princess. She adhered to major rules, and things that were insignificant, she like most members of the royal family did not bother with. Agree or not, from the very days of their courtship, her being mixed race was a very big deal with some members of the British public and not even the royal family. Most often, when people’s minds are made up, there is practically nothing one can do to change it. They did not want the black part of her and made no effort to hide this. Thankfully, the most important person in her life understands her and supports her. |

sassysure:Absolutely. Both countries have merits and demerits. From the sister thread: sassysure: sassysure: The articles you posted above are brilliant especially the one with the Trudeau blackface incident. You know what he did after the incident? he went on national TV, acknowledged he commited a racist act.and apologized for the incident. This is one of the reason why I like Canada, we try hard to call out racism when we see one and also try to make amends. In Britain, we often defend and protect racism/racists. When I moved here, it was hard for me to call out racism. I had been programmed in Britain to say: oh it's a bias, it's aggression, oh it's ignorance, and all other fancy BS words. In Canada, it's very ugly to be labelled a racist. It brings shame to those close to them and disassociation would begin immediately if you don't acknowledge your wrongs and apologize.. If that BBC guy that posted the monkey picture tried that shyte in Canada, that would have been the end of him, but guy man even received a standing ovation at a large event somewhere in the Midlands or was it Newcastle . He apologized but still denied that there was a racist undertone/intent behind the post. People like Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Nick Griffin e.t.c. won't be able to influence their immediate family members not to mention influencing a whole borough or winning political seats like it happened in the UK..One Canadian politician contesting for PM tried that Europe shyte here, he didn't even win in his riding and his party went down with him |

Parablesonmarble: Dude ... to be honest, has anything worked in Nigeria for the past 60yrs? We need to review the whole country. I have said it a million times we need to change our mentality and be disciplined. The herdsmen have been in nigeria since I was a child, why is it now they keep killing in the south/ middlebelt? Believe me it is political Just like Boko Haram before it got out of hand. I know you don't care about England and all their fairytale problems but your point about Nigeria is what got my attention. Are you going to blame the sokoto state governor because Edo state is not developed? Is somebody in Kano going to blame the governor of Abia state because there are too many almajiries on the road? Collectively we are all suffering because of corruption, greed and bad leadership and it's making people angry and frustrated. What makes you sure that drifting apart will help the situation. After drifting apart kidnapping becomes worse, police brutality becomes worse, armed robbery becomes worse, this tribe accuses the other tribe of cheating - what will you do now, drift again?!?!?! Just look at South Sudan who should be the richest African country now but it's from frying pan to fire because they had civil war and Uganda had to step in. It's easy to just sit and imagine but when reality sets in it's a different story with out proper plan. Believe me Northern people are one of the most genuine people you will ever meet but it's always the bad people that make too much noise. We all need to change to make this country a better place not only for us but for future generations. |

baby124: Its a complex issue and people try to brush over the details to make themselves feel important. When you now point something out to them, they begin to rant. A self-made outsider who already had a whole life of her own before marriage and a class-volatile "English rose" heiress who had been preparing to say "I do" for over a decade cant be forced into the same context unless you just want to deceive yourself. There are so many levels of reference and analysis that would come into play The marriage wont work, the marriage wont work. Whatever! The most important thing is that they managed to get Archie away from the whole mess before he got old enough to notice it. 1 Like |

sweetrace:I'm shocked you only had an issue with being addressed as a 'girl' and not the 'baby' part of it. Anyway, let me humor you since it means a lot to you. Only one point in your entire post is to be addressed and that's you calling Meghan a "first rate" (whatever you think this means) actress. You see, being honest should never be interpreted as being hateful, having sinister motives, or trying to reduce someone's worth. It is just plain honesty. Hollywood has a scale for measuring the pedigree of actors/actresses - A-list, B, C, and D-list. (Note: not rate) Meghan Markle is on the C-list. - A is strictly for box-office movie stars whose presence in a feature film can rake in the mulla at the cinemas. - B is strictly for big television stars (most are former box office stars) who are the main actors/producers on their own shows, or just the main cast of actors in a long running show (syndicated). - C also encompasses television stars, but is reserved for those whose career on television is not quite up to the pedigree of those on the B-list. They are known by face, not by name. - D is for reality show stars, game show hosts, etc. I did not create this hierarchy, you can take up your issue with those who did. Every other point in your post has been addressed on the thread. You can scroll through baby. 1 Like |

@ sweetrace, just in case the plenty lettering in my post above is not convincing enough, you can also read what her friend had to say in the link below. A "first rate" actress who used to find it hard getting designers to style her. Interesting. Seems they started noticing her only after she began dating & married Prince Harry. https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/meghan-markle-designers-ignored PS: Fox news is not British press/Tabloid, just in case that would have been your next defence. 1 Like |

Hotfreez: No, Meghan's father behaved very badly before the wedding and was even using Meghan's status to score cheap points and trade off. Meghan did not allow her father to attend the wedding, to please the royal family, who were already pissed off at his behaviour. He later made up an excuse about having s heart attack so he couldn't come for the wedding. 1 Like
