Exactly how I feel , it's not hatred it's sheer disappointment, hopefully they will get their happy ever after but I fear this is just the tip of the iceberg for them, there are already murmurings of the people of Canada not being as welcoming of this decision as it seems.

Just adding, completely off topic ... that my name is Sharon and I certainly do not live over a launderette. I have hated my name ever since it was used, by the media in the 90’s. Thought it had finally gone away ...

Sharon I'm really sorry if I inadvertently upset you, I certainly meant no offence.

That’s how I feel about my name, but I bet you don’t have a sister called Tracey and come from Essex.

Sharon

I accept that you and most dibbers do not hate them but I try to look at situation through Harry's eyes. He is suffering from mental health problems brought on by childhood events, he now has a wife and baby and wants to protect them from a similar fate, he has tried by asking the media to back off but this really isn't happening. Meghan is finding it difficult to 'fit in' and no allowances are being made for her if she puts a foot wrong it is all over the press, she is not perfect but who is? Yes she may have spent lots of her money on the baby shower but then other people may look at us dibbers and think we're being over the top spending a bomb going to Disney all the time. I really hope they find the peace they need and come back to us in the future.

I certainly don't hate them but I am sad and disappointed. I liked her and thought she would help to move the BRF onwards a bit. She was initially welcomed and had everything she wanted given to her, the wedding, the house, the nice trips. Sadly nothing was enough for her and for whatever reason she has decided she can't hack it. That's fine, her choice, but what does upset me is she is taking with her her view that we are a racist country and that is unfair! And that's the story she will be toting round the world because it's more acceptable than the truth!

They might have to as the Canadian public aren't as welcoming as it seems, they are already questioning who is going to fund their security over there, amongst other things .

The vast majority of recent research points to the fact that Britain is a racist country. I know that Wikipedia is not the best of sources but just have a look at racism in the UK on the site. It points to a large number of studies. You would be hard pushe d to find any country that doesn’t have the same problem.
