Prince Phillip...........................again!!
« on: February 21, 2013, 11:24:24 AM »
I see he's managed to open his mouth and put his foot in it again - is it time he was muzzled when he's allowed out in public?!

That made me laugh when I first read it, the Prince won't change now Alsatian - probably get worse with his age  :).
He sure puts his foot in it doesn't he - but he was right! They are either nursing here or marrying older men here  ;)

That was my point - even given his age, were a 'common man' at his age say the same thing, it would still be deemed unacceptable.

It's surprising how many of our senior citizens are racist or use words which are now deemed poloitically incorrect - it's what they were brought up with - I suppose the Prince is no exemption although I agree he should know better

I hear it all the time with the more elderly customers.
God knows what they say if they actually travel with some of the Chezzy taxi drivers  ;D

I don't think any malice was intended - lets face it, he's been around the world more than all of us put together.
My Wife & Son have both had many Phillipino colleagues (not NHS either), and have been quite happy to work with them, because they ARE prepared to work, unlike some " home grown" people in fact - it shames me to say :(

Lets face it - it's time they retired him. Old folks can say anything.

It's not about whether it's right or wrong, it's about being tactful! It's not beyond the realms of possibility that what he says can be taken as racist.

I would be surprised if his remark was made racially - he just opens his mouth and says what he would were he in private

Exactly!!
Just as an aside I used to have a colleague who swore that on the eve of Phil and Liz's wedding he dragged the young Prince out of a Cyprus  brothel and stuck him on an RAF transport plane back to the UK.
