that spear chucker remark is just one example of retarded racism that gets laughed off because he 'speaks his mind'
In what way is it "racist" ? ...... I would be very interested in knowing that. Aborigines did indeed 'throw spears' at each other including during initiation rites, it is based on fact.
It makes me laugh because royal events are suppose to be mega serious and boringly staid occasions, where correct etiquette, mind-numbing politeness, and completely pointless small talk is expected. Prince Philip actually asked the question to a highly successful Aboriginal businessman - he was clearly taking the piss. I like pisstaking.
Really - most people think its ok to be openly racist and have no qualms about showing their ignorance to a world wide audience?
English says the Spanish Gogledd - TROLL
Not trying to justify it, but we only get to hear extracts from conversations without any context. Plus, Clarkson is excused for similar comments. In fact, Clarkson gets paid for similar comments, that's worse.
he was clearly taking the piss
I'm sure thats the excuse Bernard Manning used.
Yep, I have a different point of view and therefore am a troll. đ
I have no royal family and consider the DofE to be a representative of england and all things English, even though he's a Greek.
Not Manningesque, more Jimmy Carr.
đ
I pointed out you were welsh and called him English. I suspect it was a clever underhand dig and actually wish I had not outed it/you Sorry.
You've lost me, Junky... đ
I'm sure thats the excuse Bernard Manning used.
I asked you : [i]"In what way is it "racist" ?[/i] it was [i][b]so[/b][/i] obvious that you wouldn't answer the question.
Go on.......explain to me why it was "racist". Is it because Aborigines have dark skin ? If he had said to a successful Danish businessman "do you still rape and pillage" would that have been "racist" too ?
The truth I suspect, is that you have no idea why it's "racist", you just [i]feel[/i] that it ought to be racist.
And Prince Philip gets a [i]double[/i] laugh from me for also winding-up the hypersensitive PC Brigade into ranting about something which they don't actually know what they're ranting about - they just feel they ought to be ranting đ
Go on.......explain to me why it was "racist". Is it because Aborigines have dark skin ? If he had said to a successful Danish businessman "do you still rape and pillage" would that have been "racist" too ?
Short answer, yes. The Danish business would possibly be able to argue his point on an equal footing whereas the spear throwing Aborigine would be denied the opportunity, but doesn't change the fact that both are being treated or spoken to, in this case, differently simply based on a racial trait.

đ Why would an Aboriginal businessman be less able to argue his point than a Danish businessman ? ............what are you - racist or something ?
Yes ernie, I'm being racist.
Just explain why an Aboriginal businessman would be [i]"less able to argue his point"[/i] than a Danish businessman, and leave out the smartarse retorts. Cause it's seriously worrying if you believe that.
The answer not good enough for you? Think about it ernie, I've got a shaved head (NÂș1 crop), tattoos, and a staffy. Got to mean something, no?
The answer not good enough for you?
You haven't answered the question concerning why an Aboriginal businessman would be "less able to argue his point" than a Danish businessman, so no, don't expect me to be satisfied with your "answer".
Although I suspect that you now regret making the comment and would rather forget it. Just as well you're not in the media's sights eh ?
Yes, you have the reason, as always ernie, put this one down as a win.
Yep, a definite "win".........you make a halfwit comment which you can't even justify. I can't see how that could represent more of a defeat for you.
Yes ernie, racism being in the intent of the speaker or actor and how it is received or perceived by the receiver. That means that junky can make a (racist) Gogledd comment and depending on how he intended it or how I received will or won't make it racist. This is why the honky Eminem can use the N-word so freely without being racist. Comprendes?
Yeah ok mate, I think I'll leave it at that......you're obviously not going to answer the question concerning why Aboriginal businessmen according to you are 'less able to argue their point'
Plus you've had to resort to 'attack by tags' đ
....done and dusted mate 8)
Not my tag. Learn to read and understand racism and anger and all their facets. But I do actually agree with the tag, you are boring.
You two love each other.
The sooner you admit it the better...far too much sexual tension in this thread.
Yeah, so ner! đ
Soz; bin swimming. What's bin going on?
I like the way that the usual suspects are happy having a go at him, and not mentioning the fact that he - and a lot of other out dated, out of touch, bigoted men of his generation - fought with great courage to ensure that you have the right and freedom to criticise him.
He is a bit out of touch, but he is honest, pragmatic and served this country as best he can for 70 years or more. Not sure if a few more like him in public life wouldn't be a good thing.
ernie tags elfin and the fight begins... đ
Fight? Who's having a fight?
Leave it out e's not worth it!
What?
I don't know. I really don't know.
đ
I'm not sure whether it's better to be boring or bitter. So, because I think he's a bigoted old ****, I'm bitter? I'm not bitter FFS, I'm just a forum version of a pint of Murphys. Actually, I'm not really. Oh bollocks, I'm not sure, but I'm not bitter. đ
Does anyone know why he didn't become king, but Kate...um...Windsor/Wales might become queen one day?
Because of sexism, innit?
C'mon youuuuuu Yeovil!!!
[i]"You know aswell far more get caught and killed on the roads, but hey,"[/i]
Lots of children get killed on roads. Nobody minds if I hunt a couple on Saturdays and feed them to my dogs do they ?
Heh! đ
I rather enjoyed this interchange
DofE
I was having to do my duty as a professional Naval Officer. You've probably never had a profession so you don't know what that means.
FB
I flatter myself that i have one now
DofE
I see - right
I have forgotten what this thread is all about as I have become somewhat distracted by this picture of popular female news presenters dressed in rather fetching outfits:

Some lovely embroidery there.
just a couple of observations from this fred.
1st one for fred. i would love to be present to see you to tell teetoo to shut up in person.
2nd for don simon. so every bloke with a shaven head and tattoos is a racist???
ton, re: your observations, they're probably best kept to yourself when they're as nonsensical as the two pieces of bullshit you just put up there.
dd, why?
2nd for don simon. so every bloke with a shaven head and tattoos is a racist???
Yes. Ernie is a bit confused and for him the answer is yes. If you have a different question, I'm willing to listen and answer, are all fat Yorkshiremen hard as nails?
ton, because because because. Whatchyagonnado? Beat me up?
seriously, how can you say that all shavenheaded tattooed men are racist.
and i will ignore the insult.
dd, no mate, i am a reasoner not a fighter.
i would love to be present to see you to tell teetoo to shut up in person.
Come on Ton. Less of yer nonsense mate. đ
fred, seriously i would.
