He shall be missed.
From the Daily Mail:
His incredible energy, remarkable good health and strong sense of public duty have seen Prince Philip through countless official engagements over the course of his 64-year marriage to our Queen.
Yet it is the unashamedly politically incorrect comments he makes that have attracted the most attention over the years.
As the Prince celebrates his 90th birthday tomorrow, we pay tribute to what Philip himself described as ‘Dontopedalogy . . . the science of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it, a science which I have practised for a good many years . . .’

I have respect for the man for his award scheme and humour, honesty is rare.
If it was not a “quirk” he would have been king, and probably a better representation than politics.It’s a quirk of common law that goes right the way to the top.

Lockerbie bombing?
I think the bomb was earlier and about 30,000 feet up. It was the jumbo jet falling on their heads and exploding they had to survive.
Fucking journalist.
