o god has anyhone got Irish rels from the Republic?
They dont let up either

" 1066, The Brits begin to morrrrrrder da Oirish!"

[jourdain2]

Well, that would be great. I'd then have a full picture and understand. It's called getting on with people and communicating in my book. We could very possibly than have a very nice chat. What's wrong with wanting to know about people?

[Zacs-Master]

‘ she's not going to know what part of Africa her ancestors were originally from’

The same place as the rest of the human race. This is why DNA testing to determine where you’re from is cobblers. How does it know to stop at a particular time?

[Khandro]

Her name, 'Ngozi Fulani' is a fabrication - as his her fantasy dress, her actual real day name is Marlene Headly

[Atheist]

I've said it before elsewhere. What's her name and her dress got to do with it? Your minds work in funny ways!

[andy-hughes]

If the people striving as hard as they can to make MsFulani the cause and culprit of this disgraceful episode had a shred of the awareness and wwillingness to simply accept responsibility for what took place in the way Lady Hussey has, the two threads on this subject would have beeb concluded yesterday.

It appears the woman is a fraud.

//What's her name and her dress got to do with it?//

I think it has quite a lot to do with it. It seems fairly clear that Ms Headley wants to portray a false image of herself to demonstrate false credentials. What anybody would want to assume such a name when they are so sensitive to being questioned about their origins is a bit of a mystery. Actually it's not really.

[New Judge]

If she had dressed in ordinary clothing and wore a badge with "Marlene Headley" on it she may not have been so rigorously questioned about her background. She was born in Willesden, for God's sake. Why did she dress in African attire and call herself by an African name when she is British?

[archibaldy]

It was a dumb choice of conversation topic to start with, but after the first answer she got she should have said 'how lovely' then moved on. I am am surprised that palace people that interact with the public aren't made aware of how to just have a nice chat with people, just in case one of them is a 'bit sensitive'.

//I am am surprised that palace people that interact with the public aren't made aware of how to just have a nice chat with people, just in case one of them is a 'bit sensitive'.//

And I'm surprised that people who get out and about a bit (as Ms Headley does) do not become a little more robust and don't fold into a crumpled heap ("I am still trying to process what happened") every time they hear something that is not quite to their liking.

[andy-hughes]

Here's an idea - if you can pile enough rubbish on Ms Fulani, you can completely forget that this incident was not of her making, and she was the victim of staggering rudeness and condescension.

It shouldn't take too long, heaven knows there are enough of you working as hard ad you can on it!

[Bazile]

//It appears the woman is a fraud.//

What fraudulent act has she commited ?

[archibaldy]

// And I'm surprised that people who get out and about a bit (as Ms Headley does) do not become a little more robust and don't fold into a crumpled heap. //

I doubt you are surprised as you well know they exist, so when entertaining potential ones at ones palace, lets just talk to them about the weather hey, rather than asking 5 times where they come from.

[perseverer]

On LinkedIn her profile uses the name Ngozi Headley-Fulani so I'm not sure why she is a fraud

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - "It appears the woman is a fraud'.

And what exactly does that have to do with the rudeness she was subjected to?

I am sure Lady Hussey was not aware of any 'fraud', so she wasn't dishing out some kind of vigilante justice - was she?

What other explanation would you like to suggest for her staggering lack of basic manners?

[goodgoalie]

She's a fraud because she affects 'Africanness' in choosing to be known by an African name and in her dress, even though she was born in the UK - something she was eager to point out to Lady Hussey.
And let's not forget that the charity she founded would, presumably, turn away an abused white girl or woman, as they would not 'have African or Caribbean heritage.'

[andy-hughes]

Goodgoalie - how someone chooses to present themselves does not present them as a target for rudeness, and that is what this thread is supposed to be addressing.

[naomi24]

Only a fool believes a liar.
