H & M announce a visit to Colombia

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announce they will visit Colombia

mol.im/a/13698271

Another country on the "Don't travel" list.

"But the UK and US governments have both issued security alerts over travelling to Colombia amid fears over crime, terrorism, civil unrest and kidnapping - and Harry's decision to visit comes amid his ongoing battle for his security when in Britain.
The UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office 'advises against all but essential travel to parts of Colombia'. And the US Department of State issued a travel advisory for Colombia stating: 'Reconsider travel due to crime and terrorism. Exercise increased caution due to civil unrest and kidnapping. Some areas have increased risk.'"

Perhaps he thinks this is the way to get his security reconsidered? Personally I'd say the opposite.
If he still had UK security I'd expect them to do a risk assessment and say "NO".
Why should security personnel be put at risk by being required to travel to these dangerous destinations.

Haven't RTFT but I'm not making any comments about Columbian marching powder. At all.

No,sir. Not me 😇

Such an ignorant thing to say. You think you're funny but the drug trade has killed millions of Colombians over generations all so brits and Americans can shove it up their noses. You won't find many Colombians stupid enough to consume it.

Colombia is clearly much safer than the UK for H&M as obviously shown in this thread so many people have such hatred for them. Suggesting a kidnapping would be funny is sick and has clearly never happened to any of you or it wouldn't be funny at all. I hope they help to promote tourism to the beautiful country that it is and none of the ignorant posters on here ever have the audacity to call themselves cultured or "well travelled" as clearly most of you are idiots.

@dirndl
That's one of the nastiest things I've read on here, I think you need I get out more. Your hatred will ruin you.

LBFseBrom · 01/08/2024 21:59

They have been invited by the VicePresident and something good may come out of it. I am sure they will be safe in Columbia as guests of the government.

Good luck to them both.

Tell that to Harry, who is a coke user.

To suggest Columbia is safer for Harry and Meghan than the UK beggars belief. If the UK is so unsafe for them, they should just stay away. They don't want to go to the UK anyway, so there's no issue, surely.

BemusedAmerican · 01/08/2024 22:02

Hey folks, why don't you pop on down to our local family shelter here in NYC and tell the residents that it's safe for them to return to Colombia, a country with a Level 3 travel advisory in the US. Because we know that all that matters is the safety of the tourists in their gated resorts and guided tours.

This will create more space for the Venezuelan and Ecuadorian asylum seekers.

They literally are staying away Confused isn't that the whole point. You're all so offended they'd rather not come here.....

salem4cuddles · 01/08/2024 22:06

@upintheloft you really do tend to make sweeping generalisations, " you are all idiots", " you are all so offended"

I’m sure they will be safe too just as they would in the UK if they give the required notice so that their security can be arranged, which seems eminently reasonable to
me. What I don’t understand is why they are being invited as leaders in digital and online safety? What have they actually done to tackle cyber bullying or online exploitation?

Say what? So what has all the fuss, not to mention the cost, of Harry's case regarding security been about then? If the daft pair don't want to go to the UK, why kick up such a stink about security (which he would probably get when /if he visited the UK anyway?

I guess much like those making sweeping generalisations about Colombia and Colombians

salem4cuddles · 01/08/2024 22:09

At least you are owing it , jolly good

jazzybelle · 01/08/2024 22:19

Why have they been invited and why are they going? What purpose does this serve?

You’re right, clearly none of us have been kidnapped before ……….thats because the UK is a safe country and not like …..Colombia

I mean you set yourself up there

Weedownmyleg · 01/08/2024 22:23

Will King Charles pay the ransom if they get kidnapped?

More likely to be paying the kidnappers

salem4cuddles · 01/08/2024 22:25

Travel advice is not to wear anything expensive s I have no idea how Meghan is going to cope

I don’t see a problem with this. It’s just the typical gutter press trying to whip up hatred.

I wonder if people still have their bananas, so life changing

'From happier times here in the UK. She is still loved by many who have met her and whose lives she touched.'

Seriously unsure how you come to that conclusion from that woeful video.

salem4cuddles · 01/08/2024 22:41

It's a pity that those people she touched won't see her again as the UK if far too dangerous for her to visit, apparently

Her and Harry were so brave to walk amongst the British public after the Queen died, the very high profile event that garnered so much publicity

LaMarschallin · 01/08/2024 22:42

I predict many videos/photos of Meghan incoming, many followed by a gazillion heart-eye emojis.

I mean, they’re a worldwide laughing stock.

But sure, I’m sure she’s got a few dogged, faithful stans left

@LaMarschallin it's called desperation
