So was Benny Hill.

Yup, the trampled Worker.

[Elwood Blues]

Nope. If he wasn’t a Royal the public would view him very differently imo. Rude, arrogant and dismissive of other cultures.

What makes you say he was dismissive of other countries, Pearcey?

No, he wasn't any of those things, it is just your opinion of him. He was probably better regarded and considered in other countries than he was here. But it's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

This is fawning nonsense

Nicolas Witchell, Prince Charles , Prince Andrew say of Prince Phillip


Oh he was forthright ! He was direct ! He didn't suffer fools gladly !

Is that what explains him using the term slinty eyes ?

Or ......this looks like it was made by an Indian!

I’m sure you’ve never told an Irish or Scottish joke.
Get a grip you fool. There is a distinct difference between a quip and deep seated racial hatred.
Do you think every football supporter who calls us sheep shaggers are racist?
You have a black belt in getting offended on behalf of others.

Supporting, following, and in many cases worshiping these people who hold absolute power over us, regard themselves as our betters, expect us to bow, curtsey, address them in specific ways, are oxymorons (in a so-called democratic country) and are obscenely wealthy by inheritance gained from power and force, etc., etc., etc is nothing short of a type of Stockholm Syndrome.

What would you call supporting, following, and in many cases, worshipping over paid footballers, who play for your local team ?
