Fair point.

Discussions and debates rarely do though.

Perhaps this thread ought to have been put in another section, where more "robust" chatter takes place.

Yep. Nobody was to know how the thread was going to develop though. One of us ought to have asked M&M to shift it once it became clear that GD wasn't the right place.

Yep.

The actor Paul Eddington was once asked how he'd liked to be remembered. His reply was "as someone who did the least harm."

In the case of the DofE, apart from some questionable verbal gaffs (who hasn't made a few of them in their lives?) and a bit of bad driving, what harm has he done?

Edit: Mind you, having just looked at the sick hateful people thread, Philip did used to take part in game hunting and have some piccies of his successful safari kills. Not quite sure how those who call him a hero due to his ww2 efforts but also berate big game hunters manage to marry those two aspects with a clear conscience. Their call though!

Re: Prince Phillip

Even more odd is that he was a president of the WWF. seems a bit of a contradiction!!

I never expected my casual reporting of the news would change into this and indeed it was quite gentle mildly jossing until words like hate were thrown into the mix. Quite unnecessarily in my option .

Yes Dex being full of respect for the pheasant murdering / boar killing old war hero I wasn’t going to mention that but he has gone on safaris too and their are pictures to prove it .......
The whole blooming family enjoy shooting live animals but no doubtless it will only be for conservation purposes cough cough

Re: Prince Phillip

If being a war hero qualifies a person for luxury hospital facilities ....why are many of our war hero’s/ ex servicemen on the NHS waiting lists ..hmmmm
