I'm a racist - according to Meghan & Harry
Meet my multiracial/religious diversity generation family.
When my Indian wife was pregnant with our kids we & our extended families excitedly discussed what skin tone they with inherit .
Does that make us & them all racists ?

Shame Republicans have hijacked the Irish flag.
it was intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union & harmony between Roman Catholics (symbolised by the green colour) and Protestants (symbolised by the orange colour).

My heart is broken at the sudden passing of my wonderful, funny, caring, kind brother-in-law Richard. He was so much more than my sister Margaret’s husband & soul mate. To me & my siblings he was a dear friend, a role model, shoulder to lean on during hard times & sad times.
RIP

As beautiful as the wedding was I did feel a bit sad for Megan's mum, Doria Ragland . She cut a lonely figure at times & had no one from her side of the family to enjoy the momentous occasion with. There just seems to be Megan & her and I found that kinda sad.
