No surprise that bitter likes him.

“If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed.” (to British students in China, during the 1986 state visit)

“You can’t have been here that long – you haven’t got a pot belly.” (to a Briton in Budapest, Hungary, in 1993)

“Do you still throw spears at each other?” (in Australia in 2002, talking to a successful Indigenous Australian entrepreneur)

“There’s a lot of your family in tonight.” (after looking at the name badge of the businessman Atul Patel at a palace reception for British Indians in 2009)

You forgot one of my favourites, said to a driving instructor in Scotland: "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?"

Brexit going well I see.

The violence currently ongoing in NI seems like a hilarious development in the ongoing saga of brexit. Soon it seems, the gammons will have their little England utopia and the rest of us can get on with it without their toxic input.

Come on man, the "massive scandal" you were frothing over for months turned into nothing. A non-event. Even Salmond has let it go. The only folk still clinging to this as a news story are far right loyalists.

He also forgot his "top of the mornin to you" comment to me, meant as an insult due to my nationality, so he shouldn't be so quick to lob stones in his glass house.

Everybody's a saint once they're dead. You're right tho, a more appropriate time to address his rabid racism would have been while he was alive

Which again isn't exactly what I'd call hilarious. Those things can cause a nasty burn y'know.

Slightly random comment , since most of the posters in this thread are British they will understand this already. The NHS is probably the most beloved institution in history, if anyone tries to mess with it there would actually be a revolution

A journo who was on that tour told the BBC that, in fact, HRH had spoken earlier in the day to a bloke from a neighbouring tribal group, and the bloke asked him who he was visiting next, and, on being told who, the bloke recognised the name of an elder of a rival group and said, 'Oh, them. We used to throw spears at them.'

David Cameron is a self obsessed nitwit who once shagged a dead pigs head. And one of the most influential figures in recent British political history. This is confusing to me.

Not a fan of Cameron but everyone's shagged a dead pig's head in fairness.

This scandal is awful for Cameron. Looks like boris & co are happy for the particulars to be investigated because they didn't help him - not because they're ethical or anything but because they dont like him.

and because they dont like him, some will be driving the bus that others are trying to push him under.

and he hasn't even pleased his paymasters. They might well be okay with the embarassment if they had got a result.
