Great thoughts of Prince Phillip


Via the Independent

On a 2002 visit to Australia, he asked a group of aborigines: “Do you still throw spears at each other?”

Talking to a Scottish driving instructor: “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?”

To a British student in China: “If you stay here much longer, you’ll go home with slitty eyes.”

On travelling, said to the Aircraft Research Association: “If you travel as much as we do, you appreciate the improvements in aircraft design of less noise and more comfort - provided you don't travel in something called economy class, which sounds ghastly.”

While inspecting a fuse box: “It looks as though it was put in by an Indian.” He later clarified his comment: I meant to say cowboys. I just got my cowboys and Indians mixed up.”

The Green Party is right.

The Monarchy is an anachronism.

It is time to get these folks off the dole.
