I said I don’t think he should have posted it. You’re very emotional about her death, me less so m, it makes very little difference to my life. I’m just saying this is where the thinking may come from. No excuse for Prince Phillip mentioning slit eyes or spear checkers either. Won’t endear him to people and of course like any associate making cringy comments if you say nowt you get associated even if you don’t agree.
Phillip was renowned for making gaffes and putting his foot in it, yes. He was also known to be a very personable man who tried to put people at their ease when meeting the Queen. One of the ways that he did that was by making wise cracks, and it must be remembered that he was from a time and generation in which making 'humorous' remarks based on stereotypes wasn't as verboten as it is today. To construe that as racist jokes, I feel, is inaccurate as it implies hate or fear, which wasn't present.
To be clear I don’t think he should have done it. He’s too much of a numpty to get the nuance. It’s attention seeking. Just surmising why there might be that line of thinking because some of those comments he made were facts. We’ve all had inappropriate uncl s making cringy comments. Doesn’t make it right. To be fair there is a narrative about what the royal family stand for because that’s all it is. People go on like they were best mates with them. We can all only judge whether we buy the public face they display and accept the institution and I know me and you disagree on the latter which is fine. Being really honest I was more bothered about my dog hurting his paw yesterday because that’s tangible to me. To her family and those close of course it really matters.
He seems quite irrelevant now doesn't he.
The Queen clearly had all of the things he lacked, honesty, integrity, sense of duty, etc.
Above all else she didn't just want the title, as Boris did imo, she actually did the job and put the hours in ...
... and hung onto the job for more than five minutes
Well said mate i couldn't have put it better, as all ex soldiers and those currently serving, it was a thrill marching in full dress uniform for her pleasure on big occasions, may her soul rest in peace
Can’t resist bringing your left wing political s*** in to this could you?.Just wait till her state funeral and the whole world will show how valued and loved this monarch was,and hopefully keep people like you babbling on to a minimum
By and large people have been very respectful but some cant resist spouting their bile, they have no respect or class.
It is bile, how can a picture of The Queen & Prince Phillip make anyone think they know where Trevor Sinclair is coming from. The tweet in itself was pure bile
Like you posted earlier marra,let’s see how many likes his post gets
