The duke racist?
Of course not! He had his own sense of humour is all. He thought Beijing was awful. And he warned foreign students that if they stayed in China for too long they too would become "slitty-eyed." And there's so much more. But you're not racist - if everyone laughs at your humour and you don't realise it's offensive - are you? What about all those Irish jokes we all love and laugh at? Or Polish? Or even Lithuanian? They're funny! As are Russian jokes, et cetera. Maybe PC takes things too far. Maybe not? But heck - it's amazing what you can get away depending on who you are - right? Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 15 April 2021 1:42:36 PM

One of my favourite quotes is when the Prince
met an Indian official dressed in national garb, and the prince made the remark - "You look like you're ready for bed!" (we've all thought that of some Indian men at times). In any case the Prince also laughed at himself. He referred to himself as a - "cantankerous old sod!" Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 15 April 2021 2:05:33 PM

Plant,
What unmitigated bollocks. Because Philip was old, white, male, royal and not a member of the far left arse clowns such as the greens you assume that he must be racist and because you have no real evidence you need to make up some by confecting some from innocuous comments made 2 generations ago. You and Pauliar can go and have your TJO but with zero credibility. Posted by shadowminister, Thursday, 15 April 2021 2:45:34 PM

Looks like you haven't bothered, again, to read what I said in this thread: eg. "Thanks Issy This Mehreen Saeed Faruqi Green activist has form. She apparently has no "First Nations" (aka Aboriginal racial aristocratic) blood. Instead Pakistani Muslim blood. She and her husband Omar apparently moved from Pakistan to Sydney in 1992. She then apparently made the following Affirmation of Allegiance to become an Australian citizen: "I solemnly and sincerely promise and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Australia, Her heirs and successors...". Here she is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehreen_Faruqi and see "In February 2018, Faruqi attempted to block the Christian Friends of Israeli Communities from hosting an event on the basis of Israel's settlement policy in the West Bank[8]" So not only has this Green activist rejected the spirit of her Affirmation of Allegiance to the Queen to become an Australian citizen but she may have something against Christians and Jews as well... Is extradition back to Pakistan in order? Posted by plantagenet, Monday, 12 April 2021 5:40:11 PM Posted by plantagenet, Thursday, 15 April 2021 3:14:51 PM

For shadow's benefit, eg. 2
___________________________________- Hi Paul I take it your simplistic comment about the MEDIA portraying Phil as a "saint" is implicit agreement with Faruqi's offensive Tweet. Prince Philip (born 1921) came from a generation which included Churchill (died 1965) (so a 44 year overlap) who didn't share our views about race. In THIS thread I laughed at Phil's jokes because they were funny. I don't consider myself a racist. Although, from what this Green activist Faruqi said of Prince Philip: "... I'm not going to pay tribute to a known racist." I don't think Faruqi should have been allowed to become an Australian citizen. ____________________ After all: Faruqi apparently made the following Affirmation of Allegiance to the Monarchy to become an Australian citizen: "I solemnly and sincerely promise and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Australia, Her heirs and successors...". Faruqi and Green-Left-Muslim activists like her should show some respect while Phil's body is still warm.

That's just your old regime discredited Trump thinking in motion - with all its limitations. Its all either/or, woke/good gun guys with you.
Meanwhile Foxy, Paulo and I can celebrate Prince Phil's legacy and humour without your "input".
