What’s to detest about Prince Phillip? He served Britain in front line naval service during WWII and is deliciously politically incorrect. He even called out the idiots who (unfortunately successfully) banned handguns in the wake of Dunblane by basically saying ‘Why not ban cricket bats if someone went beserk with one?’ A comment which caused a lot of butthurt amongst many people, in common with a lot of the things he often says....
I too remember when Prince Phillip spoke out against the gun control laws. He was savagely attacked for it but did not back down.
