I do wonder if there is actually any school that will be able to meet their expectations in regard to security. I'm interested to see how it all plays out.

So you threw out that very serious and insulting accusation based on no evidence? Nice.

Have you been living under a stone since 2018? Surely you must be aware of the history?? If not, Prof Google is your friend.

That's why people don't like HAM.

None so blind as those who will not see.

AnswerIsNo

However, as a non-royalist, the mouth-foaming over these two baffles me 😁

Well done!
I've been wondering when someone was going to think of an alternative to "frothing". It's a really nice change.

(I don't think you need the "mouth-" bit though.
People get "frothing"; they'll get "foaming" too.)

The Dragon School is world famous.
Its list of alumni fills who's who.

The school website has clear instructions about parking for school drop off

I didn’t say it ‘was’ racist. I said it ‘smacks of racism’. Or envy. Because why else should people spend so much time and energy picking fault with someone who is nothing to do with them. It’s really odd. Who else in the public eye gets so much negative coverage in the Daily Fail?

AND the OP made it sound like they were being picky about or negative about the school. It was just security not factoring in school traffic. Every September I forget to leave early because I’ve become used to the summer commute time. It’s and easy mistake to make. It’s just the consequences are different for them.

And your point is?

Well what exactly do you mean by "it smacks of racism"? What's your evidence?

In that case they are the definition of an incompetent security team, as that would be the very basics of what would be expected for a team to assess and manage.

No, I was sitting in the street, eating a sandwich…if that matters…

Are you ok? I’m not sure why my genuine experience has brought about such a seemingly angry response.

I don’t know what this means.

Epic troll / self-contradiction - I will allow you to choose the mode of self-glory

I said it ‘smacks of’ racism.

It’s weird that people are so nasty about her. Really odd behaviour. Like trying to find fault to moan about even though it has zero impact on them. I understand nit picking with politicians because they impact our lives. But why MM. I mean I’m not a fan. I don’t know them (obvs) so don’t really have an opinion.

Do I think tax payers should fund their security? No. But I don’t think public funds should be used for anything for the Royals.

So I’m putting forward my theories about why someone without the full facts would start such a nasty thread and so many would pile on. One theory is racism. Another is envy. Feel free to explain your motives if you wish to out me right. But I sense I’ve hit a nerve.

It's not an easy mistake to make. If it's the school I think it is, any fool could have worked out what a nightmare the school run traffic would be. This is Oxford - a city which has recently introduced a congestion charge. The clue is in the name. It's an absolutely ridiculous mistake to make, either by them or by their security advisers. It would be difficult in a small car, but in some kind of pompous 3-vehicle convoy, forget it. They are living on another planet, it seems.

I'd love to hear why you think people would envy Meghan! I think she's up s* creek with no paddle, personally!

Can anyone link to the thread of the ‘Spare’ funnies? that was mentioned earlier?

Why are you so invested in finding fault with them then? What’s your motivation?

mouth-foaming completes the mental comical picture

its unequivocal, whereas foaming may mislead some into thinking people are angrily running rampage covered in bubble-bath !

‘Imagine if they were carrying guns ! Harry would be. ‘shoot those fuckers tyres out, how dare they try to cut in on us” 😉😉

I was at the same event as Prince Harry years ago. He had subtle security and was knocking around just like anyone else. It’s different when you have a wife and kids to think about though and when there has been so much vitriol.

I wish people would make their minds up!

Either there is no risk at all to the dc or
M and H should have done their prep better!

Which is it to be?

It’s clear they can’t win whatever they do.

Phew! Thanks for mentioning 'vitriol'! I thought we might get to the end of the thread without it and that would never do!

As for having a 'wife and kids to think about', given that he apparently rushed them across the world on a moment's notice and didn't even bother to make proper arrangements for the school run, it seems he's not thinking about them very much.

"they can't win"!
Oh the poor innocent victims!
Nothing is ever their fault 😭!

There are kids at the Dragon School (and there were at Thomas') who face MUCH higher security risks than "a bit of vitriol"

They are pure attention seekers

It's clear that you didn't read my post, especially where I used the word 'supposedly'. According to them, they and their children are high profile targets who need armed police security. Therefore, not bothering to work out the school run is a major failing on their behalf, or on the 'security team' they have engaged.

As to whether there is a genuine threat, that's up to the experts at RAVEC to decide.

I know more like a nightmare!

Either there is no risk at all to the dc or
M and H should have done their prep better!

It can be both.

Lack of risk does not excuse a shoddy job by professionals.

If the security team worked for me and had prepared that poorly, they wouldn't work for me any longer.

If (as I suspect), the mess-up has been because H&M have not listened to advice (as appears frequently to be the case) and I were a member of the security team, I would be looking out for a new job.

Gotta have that ol’ vitriol!

Especially when you’re filling in your HAM Bingo Card.

When will the RAVEC decision be made?

It’s not that hard to understand. Woman of colour marries into the Royal family, there is a family estrangement and the Daily Fail and the twatalites that read it focus in on the woman and work hard to find fault with her. Spending lots of time and energy on it. It’s really bizarre. So envy (beauty, wealth etc) or racism are the hypotheses that came to mind.

What are the motivations I’m missing? Why else might someone start a nasty thread about a mum with school run issues, without the full facts and then lots of people pile on with theories about it being some kind of manipulation. Really odd. I just don’t get it.
