After a recent period of inactivity due to ill-health, Phil the Greek is back to what he does best: insulting foreigners. He told a nurse from the Philippines that her country must be "half empty" - because so many of her compatriots have come to the UK to work for the NHS. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-21519917 It's a welcome return to form for the big man.
They should make a sitcom about him and lizzie - it would be a posh version of In Sickness and in Health with pretty much the same values and attitudes.
Betty must cringe every time Phil opens his gob! I can only think of him as his Spitting Image puppet calling everyone fuzzy wuzzies and chinkies.
I really don't see the problem with it, he wasn't saying anything against them. I took it as, he was commending them in their invaluable help in making the NHS a well oiled machine.
Phillies and Chinks can take a joke, it`s mainly the boons and bacon sarnies that get all outraged about this kind of stuff..
