You didn’t understand the question, maggiebee, but going on your track record that’s no surprise. :o)

[THECORBYLOON]

NAOMI, is this a hypothetical question or do you have a specific person in mind?

[Mozz71]

//I’ll ask again a question I’ve asked three times. How do you know when a liar is telling the truth?//

How do you know they're not? It seems unlikely to me that someone would attend a function like that for the sole reason of causing a ruckass. Maybe I'm too trusting, or maybe you're too cynical.

[THECORBYLOON]

If someone honestly believes what he or she says or writes to be true, is that person a liar?

Is a "truthful" person always truthful?

[naomi24]

AH, //… met with abuse and silence.//

More 'Abuse'. So many 'victims'.

Mozz, //It seems unlikely to me that someone would attend a function like that for the sole reason of causing a ruckass.//

That hasn't been suggested.

Corby, lies are not mistakes.

Still no answer to the question.

Naomi at 23.52 - Now you are trying to say that Lady Hussey somehow 'knew' that Ns Fulani was "a liar" and that's why she repeated her question!

The fact is, Ms Fulani gave Lady Hussey an honest response, it was Lady Hussey who decided, due to her knee-jerk prejudices, that a black woman cannot be British, hence her "Where are you really from?" nonsense.

How much further do you want to bend the facts to fit your perverse agenda?

[naomi24]

AH, //Now you are trying to say that Lady Hussey somehow 'knew' that Ns Fulani was "a liar" and that's why she repeated her question! //

Nothing of the sort. You've made that up.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - Now you think my stating a fact makes me suggest that I am a victim????

You really are losing it.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi at 7.51 - Have I? I'm in good company then!

Do you have another explanation for your 'liar" nonsense?

[naomi24]

I haven't made anything up. Ngozi Fulani, before this episode, accused the royals of racism and, quite bizarrely, of domestic abuse because Meghan Markle was not allowed on the palace balcony. The real reason was well publicised. None of the non-working royals were allowed on the balcony - because they are non-working royals. The woman is a troublemaker.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - There is no indication that Lady Hussey knew anything about the incident you describe - she did not know who Ms Fulani was, so how was she she supposed to disbelieve her ad a 'liar'?

This sinister plot is in the imagination of you and the others.

Why can't you accept that this was crass offence, and simply nothing more than that.

[Ellipsis]

If you invite somebody into your house, insult them, then later discover they weren't the person you thought they were when you first invited them, that discovery does not excuse your earlier insulting behaviour ...

[ZebuSanctuary]

The former Lady in Waiting has a rather unfortunate surname. It's quite coincidental.

However it is homophone with another term which signifies a disreputable female.

[naomi24]

AH, //There is no indication that Lady Hussey knew anything about the incident you describe - she did not know who Ms Fulani was, so how was she she supposed to disbelieve her ad a 'liar'? //

That hasn't been suggested.

[Ellipsis]

In the future, it may come to light that Ngozi Fulani is an axe-wielding, mass-murdering baby eater; it makes no difference to the fact that last week she was invited to the Palace and insulted while there. And that is why Lady Susan Hussey resigned.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi at 09.25 - Since you are keen to disavow the simple fact that Lady Hussey was simply rude because that is who she is, do you have a rational explanation for her behaviour?

[Barsel]

Sorry I haven't read all the comments here, but I wonder if anyone else thinks the reason for this happening is that when Lady Hussey asked a question, she probably expected a straightforward answer which she didn't get, so she asked it in a different way but still didn't get the answer she was after, and so instead of going onto something else, she kept asking until she became frustrated and ended up saying something that sounded a bit off. It has now got completely out of hand and King Charles needs to put a stop to it instead of letting it drag on.

[THECORBYLOON]

Who's the liar and what's the evidence?

[naomi24]

AH, I've said that strictly speaking it was rude to move Ngozi Fulani's hair (if she did) - although personally I wouldn't get my knickers in a knot over that - but bearing in mind that Ngozi Fulani already had a bee in her bonnet about racism and more within the royal family - and not a valid one either - I'm not sure the tale we're being fed is accurate - hence the question 'How do you know when a liar is telling the truth?' - a question that consistently remains unanswered.

A 'rational explanation for her behaviour'? A rational reason for asking questions is to find out a little about guests in order to give the queen something to talk to them about - something, as Roy pointed out, Lady Hussey has been doing for 60 years without complaint. At the same function she also asked Nazir Afzal, Chancellor of the University of Manchester and ex-chief prosecutor of the CPS, about his cultural heritage - but he didn't make a song and dance about it.

LOL

I knew it - it had to happen

Keep a thread running long enough and you'll eventually shoehorn Meghan Markle into it
