    One of? By all accounts he was at it left, right and centre. Although usually more discrete than with the handmaidens.

      I lost the will to live half way through the first paragraph. You're Denny's alter ego, aren't you.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Anyway, I think the DoE is a fine chap. Tells it like it is. Not a mealy-mouthed, lying numpty like the 650 idiots we elected to run the country and award themselves massive pay rises and gold-plated pensions.

                  I agree. Isn’t there a joke about the Duke of Edinburgh’s visit to China, where on seeing the Chinese head of state come towards him, promptly asks him for a menu? Or maybe it was just true

                    The length of the original post? Or that I just ignored most of it hoping for an executive summary.

                      He was once filmed on a visit there calling them slitty-eyed commies, which was a bit off-message.
