I believe some of the charity money was paid into one of their companies or two I’ll check and get back to you on this.... I do know that she denied this on the tv program “This Morning”...

Don’t be daft Jack of course I’m not related but do you honestly believe that a man of his age would want to go there for his holiday.... Are you related !!!!...

They went there because they like it there and the high life !!!... Do you really believe a man of his age would want to go there for a holiday !!!... I don’t agree with what the activist did to his statue but also strongly don’t agree with what they did with part of the money they collected for the charity created in his name period !!!!....

I agree why would you take a very old man to the West Indies for a holiday it was ludicrous !!!... I remember at the time when she first came on the scene and told my other half she’s scamming many people are that do charity work and that’s sad for the ones that are genuine very sad indeed....

That’s correct !!!!.... Local chief’s did do as you say and no one ever brings that up people leave that out of the history books when they mention the slave trade for some reason when it is a true account of what happened !!!!... Slavery has been going on since the dawn of man and as “Anna B” has stated is still going on today !!!... Will it ever stop I truly hope so but I fear it will still continue in some shape or form....

Brilliant news... Onward and upwards so good to hear genuine good news.... Happy for you and your family all the best for the future.... keep positive that’s the key matey....

Good point and well said !!!...

No it shouldn’t be a free pass they should be held accountable but they never will be.. They are untouchable that’s why they are referred to as... “The Firm” !!!... Its totally unfair and unjust but that’s how it is regarding the Royal Family they have a license to do what they want !!!!....

Edward never served and I don’t believe Anne did either did Charles serve I don’t know maybe you know....

They have to start somewhere but I’m guessing the best get picked to present on national radio and the other’s stay where they are !!!...

I know that but Edward shouldn’t be wearing one I think it is very disrespectful to the ones that have served !!!... He should be there in attendance it’s his mother who died but put him in a suit it would just look better especially to the ones who feel it is disrespectful to soldiers that have served their Queen and Country !!!... Don’t you think...

Why doesn’t he then he has a right too Edward doesn’t he never served !!!...

Yeah I agree Anna B.... Edward didn’t even finish his basic training in the Royal Marines but yet he dons a military uniform like he has served alongside comrades !!!... How he has the balls to put it on is beyond me he should have more common sense and say... “Well I never served or finish my basic training so I think it’s a big slap in the face that others have and been injured also died on the battlefield so I’ll wear a suit” !!!... I think many people would have more respect for him if he did the latter !!!...

Yeah I stopped listening to it a few years ago !!!.... The station is absolutely dire to say the least why would you listen to it when there are better radio stations out there like I have said before Radio 4 is brilliant and very informative and it is after all for grown ups !!!.... Radio Sheffield is a local radio station that’s why the presenters are so poor and will never get any better or back to how it used to be years ago period !!!!....

Very true !!!... They changed the rules in children’s homes around 1978-79 and allowed children in the homes to do what they wanted smoking.staying out very late,basically encouraged to act feral !!!.. So that they couldn’t stand up in court and point their fingers at the abusers !!!... Savile was just the tip of a very big ice berg and the truth will never see the light of day they will just keep covering it up just like they do and are doing !!!!..

Yeah it is a funny old world... Everyone is bent whether you work in a factory and pals get more overtime or if you run a small local pub and the landlord always wins open the box or if you’re in a clique and you don’t let outsiders in society on a whole is corrupt !!!!... Look they are bent but like I said majority of the population is in one way or another that’s just how the world is and there is nothing you can do about it at all !!!.. I will say this though the Queen served for most of her life so let her have her pomp show yes the public are paying for it and it might be over the top but she gave up her life so she deserves a good send off... Im not a royalist but I’ve been watching a lot of footage of the royals in private and they came across normal apart from all their faults !!!!....

You should post like this more often... Enjoyed reading that throughly....

You know what I’m just watching “The Queen Remembered”..... They have shown how the royals were in private and to be honest I’m surprised to say the least not shocked but very surprised... To me they should have presented themselves more in that manner more people might just have to warmed to them even more... In private they seem very much a normal family.... I understand that they are royalty and have to be above everyone else or what is the point of having a royal family but I just wished she was aloud to be just like she was in private like I said she came across as normal.... I almost feel sorry for her having to serve all her life and not able to be her true self to her subjects.... Yes there has been scandals and even conspiracy’s but to live your all life to serve others must have had its toll i for one couldn’t have done it nor wanted too either... Sad.... Lets just hope dapper Charlie boy does a good job....

Well said !!!... Yeah it’s sad that she’s died but to have a total news blackout is wrong in so many ways.... King Charles III showed his true colours when he looked in disgust that the ink on the table was in his way and gave one of the ushers a look they won’t forget !!!.. look I don’t hate the royals because I don’t know them directly but I feel the time has come to massively scale down their appearances and all the pomp that goes with it.... Everything they do is staged nothing is for real it worked well years ago but the world has changed and there are so many people in this world that realise how the establishment works and quite frankly they are sick of them... I saw Andy looking at the many flowers and pretending to read the notes looking for brownie points it’s just all staged !!!!... All said and done the Queen has died and that’s sad for her family.... Let’s just hope that Charlie boy can do positive deeds with his new titles....

Thanks for the link....

What would you advise us novice gardeners... Is there any point in replacing dead plants constantly if this is the weather we have to get used to from now on.... What advice have you got regarding plants that thrive in this weather... I know this is not the right thread to ask but would be good to know from someone who does gardening for a living...

Yeah David Bellamy was brilliant...

Yeah they need a lot of help to be contenders again....

Looks like Man Utd have had enough of Ronaldo... Why would any club by this player “me me me”!!!!.... Just give him away Man U then the rest of the team will play again.... He’s not a team player in fact the man is horrible no wonder teammates get sick of him I know I would !!!....

Don’t speak to soon Anna B.... And like you said we voted for Boris...
