Ludo*1 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 The American diplomat that David Jason was referring to in his anecdote from the Queen was white. Why are people suggesting it was an instance of racism? I've absolutely no doubt the Queen has racist tendencies considering her husband's views but that anecdote from David Jason just highlighted her humour is pish rather than anything sinister. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going for a full stadium mosaic with his image embroidered on all the shirts as a bare minimum. Celtic fans have no valid opinion on this due to the fact they'd do the same if the Pope died. Maybe no so much this one but one of the popular ones, like the Polish goalkeeper fella 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the most significant feature of the anecdote is the reception it receives, as if it provides incontestible evidence of the Queen's comic genius. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a pretty terrible but relatively inoffensive joke about how Phil was a big part of Ancelotti's AC Milan team of the mid 2000s. Have just checked Facebook for the first time since and this has made some people very angry. Good. You have done God's work, sir. ON behalf of us all I thank you. 2 hours ago, Henderson to deliver ..... said: That reminds me, they cancelled the Scottish election party leaders' debate on climate change which was due to take place last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sports news was dedicated to Philips sporting achievements and reminding all of the 2 minute silence before every football match. No other sporting news. Just look at Philip running here. I find it bizarre that there will be a minute's silence at Stranraer v Edinburgh City. The Duke of Edinburgh never turned up to a City match the miserable sod. Must have been a staunch Jambo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right about what happened in Scotland but things got a wee bit OTT elsewhere. Meanwhile I await with interest to see if the BBC will mention that dear old and now departed Phil's big sister was married to an SS officer: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Christoph_of_Hesse I thought 3 of them were married to SS officers. Or were the other 2 just married to ordinary Nazis? Anyway, you can choose your friends, but not your relations...
