It isn't odd when you think about it. Possible Coup d'etat! ...Blown up on a boat!

There you go. Let's not get political.

i not getting political, just thought its odd that even the uk did not make a coin for him as great a man he was,sad ending to his life

As above...that is why he isn't commemorated. He nearly did a treasonous act.

why ? what did he do wrong?

Political business in 1970's. Look into it. Too lengthy to mention here on the forum.

What's white and sails across the Irish Sea?

Lord Mountbatten's plimsoles!

Not everyone thinks he was such a lovely chap. But that's political, so I'll say no more except that he was assassinated.
