Must be something in the inbreeding.

Every quote attributed to the D of E is hilarious. He has a great sense of humour. Old Philip should have been a stand up comedian.

Had these statements came from the mouth of Bernard Manning, or Les Dawson, they'd have become instant classics.

I like him.

No. It's called a sense of humour, and character. It's something the British (and those part Greek) used to be known for, but those on the left want to eradicate. As you are consumed by political correctness, anything remotely humourous, or something that doesn't fit in with your mindless ideologies will seem alien to you.

To quote David Cameron this week- "I don't know what it is about some people on the left. It seems that when they put the socialism in they take the sense of humour out." He's dead right. Think Harriet Harman.

Give me 1,000 Prince Philips, rather than one po-faced, holier than thou lefty.

some find humour in insults and some dont.
Personally I dont think he is trying to be funny, its just the way he is, old , ignorant and senile.
Its no coincidence the older generation pull the PC card to try and back up an embedded ignorance , times change , we move on.

I too find him funny , not his insulting remarks but the fact that we use an ignorant senile old geezer who is quite happy to call a spade a spade as our foreign ambassador and spokes person.

sums the uk up really.

Wish we had a few politicians who had the guts to do that.

Haven't you got a Socialist Worker demo you can go on or something, rather than boring the excrement out of us?

Hey, Thatbloke. Loosen up, and have a laugh. Life's too short.

Jim Davidson? The most overrated comedian in Britain, regardless of subject matter.
At least Prince Phil is funny!

but the fact that we use an ignorant senile old geezer who is quite happy to call a spade a spade as our foreign ambassador and spokes person.

A spade is a spade.

whitespirit66. your reference to greeks, i think if you dig a little deeper into history you'll discover there is absolutly no greek in d.o.e. at all, feelings were still running high after we beat the germans for the second time at there national sport, so when liz wanted to wed a german, the propaganda machine kicked in and hey presto or eureeka as the case may be we got a greek prinze
