One of Phil's "gaffes" after accepting a conservation award in Thailand in 1991 he was reported as saying: “Your country is one of the most notorious centres of trading in endangered species.”
Just telling it like it is.

And he's supposed to be an ambassador for this country?

Not in MY name........



Wasn't it the greasy Greek who referred to the Japs as "Slitty eyed little yellow devils"?
You should meet the bloke who was employed on the Burma Road during WW2 and ask him how he regards that description!

Les, I don't doubt that, nor would I disagree, but YOU CAN'T SAY IT IN PUBLIC!

At least, you or I can't...we would be arrested for racism. The greasy Greek seems to be able to, and when he does, he shows up this country.

He doesn't care because who can gainsay him? he's like the old-fashioned Lords of the Manor who did and said as they wished: an anachronism in modern-day Britain.

Actually he's a Greek immigrant. And when did racism become amusing? Is it because he married a member of the Lucky Sperm Club, or just because he's old?

Actually, racism has always been amusing

It's usually only one side that sees the 'joke' though

Well I must agree that I would not say it in public either.

He does tend to shoot his mouth off at times and sometimes it is refreshing to have someone like that in the establishment. Helps to keep their feet on the ground anyway.

If the victim of your "joke" doesn't think that it's funny, it isn't. Otherwise bullying would be defined by the bullies. And thus there wouldn't be any bullying. The same for racism.

That is what I was implying, Meridian. Often times a racist comment is made because the commenter believes he or she is being witty

Racism is just another form of bullying

My neighbours father served in WW2 with Prince Philip and held him in high regard. Although I agree, he says things that most of couldn't get away with.
