    Nice. So you're suggesting that the Royal family should all be gathered in a basement and executed? And have them replaced by a Stalin type despot?
    The execution bit, yeah. The despot, not so much.

    I've changed my mind. French and Russians did have right idea.

    I AM NOBODY'S SUBJECT.

    Hold up wait a minute! Don't forget the Royals attract a vast amount of money to this country through tourism. Personally I think the Queen has done a brilliant job (figure head, but stays out of politics), she pulled her sleeves up during WWII as well.

    And as someone has pointed out elsewhere, Phillip is probably the last person serving in public life who fought in the second world war. I would need to fact check that though, as I'm sure there are plenty of pensioners continuing in voluntary service into their 90's. They're just not in the news.

    But in the meantime, let's enjoy Phillips greatest hits:

    We had the idea first. Tried it but didn't like it.

    Prince Philip has today relinquished his public duties due to his long service and old age.

    However 30 minutes later he was deemed fit to work in an ATOS work capability assessment.

    “He’s able to walk, talk and use his hands, that’s a hell of a lot more than most of the scrounging malingerers we approve.” Said a spokesman for the Department of Work and Pensions.

    The Duke of Edinburgh is expected to start an upaid work placement as a check out assistant in Greggs, after he steps down from his current role in August.
