'Eco-warrior' Prince Philip attacks big families

Dipesh Gadher, Media Correspondent
He has championed youth achievement and the conservation of wildlife. Now the Duke of Edinburgh has turned his thoughts to solving the global food crisis.

Prince Philip emerges in a television interview this week as the model royal “eco-warrior” who believes overpopulation has contributed to the pressures on the world and that anyone who believes in God should go green.

The duke hints that curbing family sizes may be the best means of keeping the soaring cost of staple food products, such as bread and rice, in check.

“Food prices are going up,” he tells his interviewer, Sir Trevor McDonald. “Everyone thinks it’s to do with not enough food, but it’s really that demand is too great – too many people. Basically, it’s a little embarrassing for everybody. No one quite knows how to handle it. Nobody wants their family life to be interfered with by the government.”

Whether Philip, who has four children with the Queen and eight grandchildren, is contemplating a Chinese-style one-child policy for Britain or other, more radical ideas, remains unknown.

McDonald, who interviewed the duke for a two-part television documentary, has pointed out: “If he launches into a flow, it is not proper to interrupt.”

However, some of the duke’s previous observations have landed him in hot water. During a royal tour of China in 1986, he managed to insult his hosts by telling a group of British students not to stay in the country for too long in case they developed “slitty eyes”.

His latest comments will be broadcast tomorrow and on Tuesday on ITV1. The documentary shows that Philip, 86, became involved in green initiatives long before his eldest son. He explains how he enlisted religious leaders, including Pope John Paul II, to the environmental cause. “It seemed to me that most religions attributed the world to some special creation and I said, ‘Well, look, if you believe God created the world, you ought to take an interest in its wellbeing’.”

The duke’s eco-credentials go back to the 1970s when he fitted solar panels to a private cottage on the Sandringham estate. Although he was well ahead of the times, he confesses that the panels saved him only about 10% on fuel bills.

Despite taking the newscaster on a tour of the Sandringham estate in a gas-guzzling Land Rover, the duke uses a black cab run on liquefied petroleum gas to get around London.

The use of such transport can have unintended consequences. Hugo Vickers, a royal historian, said: “On at least one occasion someone has seen a taxi, gone up and tapped on the window and asked the so-called taxi driver the way to somewhere else, and has been seen wandering off scratching his head and wondering if he really has just seen the Duke of Edinburgh.”

Philip, international president emeritus of the World Wide Fund for Nature, has been passionate about conservation work for many years. He is at pains, however, to point out the difference between conserving species and the “huge emphasis” placed on animal welfare today.

The distinction provides him with a defence for more bloody country pursuits, such as pheasant shooting and fox hunting. “People don’t realise it is the species that matter – not the individual – from the conservation point of view,” he says.

“You’ve got to be fairly hard-hearted about it. Conservation is not a romantic business. It’s a very practical business, trying to ensure as many different species of wildlife can exist, and which means in some cases controlling some so the others can have a better chance.”

The ITV documentary has been cleared by Buckingham Palace and the first part will be screened on the same day that Peter Fincham arrives at the broadcaster as its new director of television.

Fincham resigned as controller of BBC1 last year after wrongly edited footage of the Queen was used in a trailer. The film was edited to make it appear as if the monarch had stormed out of a shoot with Annie Leibovitz, the photographer.

The row over audience deception reappeared last week as ITV was fined a record £5.7m by Ofcom, the media regulator, for rigging competitions on a series of shows, while the BBC admitted that it had kept more than £100,000 from phone-ins that should have gone to charity.

Last night Don Foster, the Liberal Democrat culture spokesman, called on the Serious Fraud Office and the police to investigate the scandals.

  If you think the world is overpopulated Philip you should solve it by ridding us of those four inbred kids you put on the planet with your cousin/wife. I'm so fed up with these inbred freaks that rule the UK and the Netherlands that claim they care about the environment.

A colleague of mine told me a few months ago that a friend of his once went to the Palace - in London - where Philip was present at a Duke of Edinburgh awards ceremony for young people. There - Philip spotting a particularly over-weight boy went up to him and remarked: "I bet you make the boat rock when you're in it."

A short while later - after Philip was out of earshot - one of his aides apologised to the boy for Philip's insulting remark.

An arrogant - racist - self-opionated - Princess murdering - bore.

Anyone concerned about overpopulation should deal with it on a personal level only.  Once you get rid of yourselves then we can stop the insanity concerning this totally fraudulent 'conspiracy theory.'  It is amazing that the ones yelling about conspiracy theorists are the same ones pushing the most insane conspiracy theories, like...

Iraq is a clear and present threat to the US
Iran is a clear and present threat to the US
Global Warming
Peak Oil
Al Qaeda could be in your closet
there is a shortage on rice

what  a con


did you see the movie  cross of iron  from peckapah   were the  troops  eat  raw cabbage  at the hospital 
while   the  general's  feast  on wine and  fleish 

cross Of Iron is a masterpiece, one of the greatest anti-war, anti-authoritarian movies. It is one of director Sam Peckinpah's two finest works -- the other being The Wild Bunch. It deserves to be ranked in the same great war movie company as Apocalypse Now, Das Boot, Full Metal Jacket, Paths Of Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Seven Samurai, and Zulu. Its setting on the World War Two Eastern Front, its gruesomeness, and its risk-taking viewpoint on ugly combat from the German side, have tended to count against fair assessment of its considerable artistic achievements. Viewers wary of the morality of its German viewpoint and its explicitness might find that it is fundamentally about humanity in general as a victim of war. The film reflects on the humanity which may be found on all sides of conflict--including Russian humanity portrayed variously as relentless, innocent, brave, and feminine.

Cross Of Iron opens with an intense, chilling montage of nursery rhyme, propaganda, combat newsreel and atrocity. By the end of the main title the montage subtly introduces the central characters, a German reconnaissance unit patrolling on the 1943 Russian front.

This 1977 film set rarely matched standards of cinematic mayhem. Cross Of Iron explosions don't look merely like pretty fireballs -- they blast fragments, rocks and debris, leaving no doubt as to why blood gouts from stumps of limbs and shrapnel-shredded entrails. Amid the screams of wounded and dying, as dust subsides from a mortar barrage, an artillery piece shorn of its crew by a near hit swings across a pocked battlefield, its traversing wheel spinning under its own momentum. The carnage occurs in the choreographed slow motion which Peckinpah made his signature.

James Coburn turns in one of his finest roles as Rolf Steiner, a highly decorated NCO who leads a German reconnaissance squad. Steiner fights less for his country than for his comrades. He has low opinions of class and rank distinctions. He is contemptuous both of Nazism and the aristocratic Prussian arrogance of his new superior officer, Captain Stransky, played with great style by Maximilian Schell. But there are hints of a dark side. Although Steiner is articulate and philosophical he has no answer when his love interest during an enforced break from battle, nurse Eva (Senta Berger), bitterly accuses him of being afraid of what he would be without the war.

Royalty has not changed, we are but worms in our breeding grounds, they and only they are worthy to exist and profit in this world.
What is our Government at present but Royalty and they know it. They are above the law for they control it.
They as Royalty condone mass murder, genocide, war crimes, torture, lies and deceptions that have caused millions of deaths, domestic survelance of the peasants, so they may maintain dominance.
The modern day Pharoahs.

These movies - Cross of Iron and All Quiet On The Western Front should be compulsory viewing for all young people in school. Then they would understand a little about the horror and futility of war.

Check out Eric Remarque's 1930 'All Quiet On The Western Front' - 1930 - about a first world war infantryman.

So real in black and white - it's almost scary. A very moving and life-like account of what it was like in the trenches.

Prince Phillip is scum of the earth, and comes from a nazi family (on two sides - greek and british side)

Philip was partly or wholly instrumental in bringing about Diana's assassination. Sarah Fergusson was subsequently in fear of her life because of her views and previous remarks concerning the monarchy.

Hence her move back to Andrew after Diana's departure - for reasons of personal protection - when she was initially headed for divorce.

She was literally running scared for several years! 

[Biggs]

the Sarah ferguson episode is easily overlooked, however, yes it does rather seem that she was indeed running for her life during those years. No doubt she was allowed back in when she submitted her kids for the royal's mind control programming and agreed to keep her mouth shut.

“Food prices are going up,” he tells his interviewer, Sir Trevor McDonald. “Everyone thinks it’s to do with not enough food, but it’s really that demand is too great – too many people. Basically, it’s a little embarrassing for everybody. No one quite knows how to handle it. Nobody wants their family life to be interfered with by the government.”

Problem: Create an artificial food shortage by spreading fungi that destroy the wheat crops, destroying good rice just when it's about to be harvested with cyclones, and turning edible food into fuel.
Reaction: Watch the people panic, stocking rice, and rioting across the globe.
Solution: "Look, if you don't want to die from starvation I suggest you peas err... working class citizens start having less children."
