Those are some of my favorite quotes from him - and nothing I or most other people wouldn't say in a piss taking manner. Hardly his fault some people have no sense of humour.

Lord Protector, not monarch and the distinction is very important. Yes he was at the end a dictator but not for his own power and glorification (he was far to puritanically Christian for that), but because he came to believe it was the only way to get the right things happening to help the country recover from the civil war.

Our freedom of conscience is one of his great legacies and it's often overlooked that it was Cromwell who invited the Jews back into Britain 350 years after Edward 1st expelled them...

he is a figure head and representative not Joe public. He is supposedly an embassador for the UK (and you lot) and should therefore think about what he is going to say and how it reflects on the UK (and you lot

) before he opens his mouth and a diatribe of shit comes out.

You say potato I say potato. It equated to the same thing. I don't doubt that he started off with the right intentions but what he ended up doing was hideous, and anyone who can turn on those he fought with and imprison them for speaking out against what he he was doing is no better than those he replaced.

And to be truthful I don't care about him bringing the Jews back?

No. He was offered the crown, but refused it. (Shades of Sam Vimes.). Just as well because his son was a total loser. No ruler of England (or Scotland) has ever had, or claimed, absolute power.

Prince Andrew was yesterday slammed for using a helicopter for a trip of only 70 miles - costing taxpayers around £6,000.

Yet it's ok for government ministers to do this in the PM's private jet, at considerably more than that.

That's an estimated cost anyway.. FFS.. the RAF spend twice that just having a couple of helis flying for a photo.. happens all the time. I've been in them..

Harry says sorry for Nazi costume

Prince Harry was photographed at a friend's fancy dress party
Prince Harry has apologised for wearing a swastika armband to a friend's fancy dress party.

Hardly racism.. the boy himself didn't complain.. FFS.. we had a lad from Trinidad in our troop known as sooty.. and one known as Monkey Boy (from Birmingham - known for its proliferation of black people). Hardly racist.. I think forces humour is something a lot of the lazy masses just don't get.

His 'nazi' costume consisted of an arm band. Hardly a fucking costume.. None of us was at the party though, and has only seen the odd photo from it. So none of us is in a postion to comment on what happened there. Obviously, if he was burning jews and russians, we might have heard slightly more about it. But we didn't..

That's hilarious!! I'm not offended.. Some of us Scots are known to be heavy on the drink.. a stereoetype exists.. it's funny.

Indian goods have a reputation for being poor quality. Is this offensive?

I'm not alone in finding these quotes hilarious!! Even the Chinese man that sits next to me here at work thinks it's funny.

Hardly unreasonable.. If I was next to Jamaican Steel Drums, I'd WANT to be deaf. Fucking awful racket they make.

That's classic, the PC brigade have no problem with him being trained to be a soldier and heading off to Afganistan to shoot people but then proceed to wet their collective pants when he talks like a soldier as well...

I respect Harry for being what appears to be a pretty bloody competent soldier...not for being the Queen's grandson.

Yea I sort agree. Nothing wrong with getting down to some good ol' working class humour and slang (nicknames etc) which is what much of military humour is. Still the Nazi thing did not go down too well. He's either a dumb shit or an arrogant dick if he thought he could get away with one with no repercussions but then it may have just been a mistake. I'll give him the latter on this. His is father on the other hand if he ever becomes king (King Tampon) will be enough reason for me to become a rabid republican over night.

They live in their own little world and simply can't understand the life of the common man - any more than we can relate to theirs.

The need of the people for a monarchy is gone. The want might eb there, butt hat's like the French wanting to keep the Franc. Losing a big part of their history and identity wasn't easy, but now it's gone they seem to be doing ok...

I'm sure the wops kraut and other ethnic minorities will be happy to see Prince Phillip silenced too LOL!
