MPs queue up to kick a former prince
After the death of Prince Philip, MPs queued up in Parliament to recount what a terrific fellow he’d been, visiting their constituencies and making off-colour jokes that everyone agreed only showed what a laugh he was. That debate came to mind on Tuesday afternoon, as MPs discussed the late Prince’s son, no-longer-Prince Andrew. The structure of the anecdotes was the same, but their purpose now was to demonstrate that the former Duke of York had been a total git.
“He insisted on coming by helicopter,” stormed Chris Bryant. “He left early and showed no interest in the young people.” If only Andrew had taken a similar approach to Jeffrey Epstein’s parties.
Nauseating how the Speaker still won't allow debate about the wider Royal Family.
What a ridiculously servile Parliament!
Prince Mark of Bath.
