    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    No doubt she'll be seeking compensation soon for hurty feelings.

    Personally I get quite offended by assumptions about my career choice: I tell them I'm in Human Logistics, but they're not convinced. I feel so trapped

    She seems to be at pains to stress her African descent to an almost comical degree through her clothing, then gets offended when someone enquires about it. Perhaps the old lady was a bit entitled with the hair touching and enquiring manner, but big deal? Now they're using it to claim 'institutional racism' within the Royal family, these 'activists' are such a dreary po-faced bunch. Shame that they're so influential these days, it won't be long until they start demanding Churchill statues be torn down, and all our museums are emptied.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    'Ngozi' is a common name of the Ibo peoples in Nigeria. 'Fulani' in the name of one of the largest ethnic groups in the Sahel and West Africa, widely dispersed across the region, including Nigeria. But the two names refer to two separate groups.

    Maybe Susan Hussey was seeking clarification - but did so in a very rude and racially insensitive way. But she had no right to touch Ms. Fulani's hair in order to read her name badge.

    Was she being 'racist'? - I don't know: but imagine if the tables were turned and Ngozi Fulani had asked the same of Susan Hussey.

    Hussey had a right to be confused, 'Fulani' dresses in very ethnic African/Caribbean wear, with her hair in long dreads, her real name is also Marlene Headley.

    I doub't very much that Hussey would be able to distinguish between Afro-Caribbean and Fulani sartorial styles. Wearing dreadlocks has nothing to do with it - you see people sporting them all over Africa as well as in the Caribbean..

    Indeed, neither would I.
