I hear the Lord Lieutenant managed to contain the jolk in his poncy hat and Sir Bob Gandalf managed to deflect the rest of the contents of the shattered shell with his Belfast wit. I see already though he's trending on twitter for White Knighting."One of the eggs appeared to be fended off by the Sheriff of York"

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Apparently he's giving all the staff a £600 cost of living payment out of his own money.

When they say 'his' money they mean money he makes from his estates not from the public purse.

His estates should be our estates. His wealth is theft over generations

Even as someone who supports animal rights, I'd make an exception for old sausage fingers to be able to have Foie gras as his last meal before the scaffold.On the plus side

Actually, I find the transcript pretty vile and deeply unpleasant. This sour faced, entitled old cow just wouldn't let up and her remark "no, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?" is just appalling. Hats off to Ms Fulani for keeping her cool and composure and not telling the rancid racist to do one.

Is it possible to ask someone's heritage without causing offence?

My wife gets asked this a fair bit.
(She's from Tottenham, but her Mum "comes from" the Philippines and her Dad was Malaysian Chinese)
Of course it is, you can simply ask what someone's heritage is.

Yes, but rarely as opening small-talk, I'd say, unless you're at an international convention or something.

Bringing YOU round.....
Of course.
Most of the time that is what I'm being asked. I'd rather I was asked what my heritage was it's less confusing.
"Where are you from?" Can mean many things.
It's about how it's asked.
My problem is with the disbelief that I'm British born and bred.

Mrs Q and the kids get that. Mrs Q's Mum is also from the Philippines and her Dad is a Scouser. When people ask her when she come from she always say Liverpool where she lived since she was 8 (though she was actually born in HK)
All the kids take a LOT more after their mother than me (thank God), Middle Q's classic tale was someone trying to chat her up in a bar whose opening line was
"Aren't you the exotic little beauty, what are you?"
"I'm a girl have you never seen one before?"
