Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

Two sad posts on my fb from the usual suspects.
One from a massive royalist. The first reply was a sad face and someone pondering how Brenda will cope without him.
The other from my right wing libertarian friend with comments about him being entertaining and the twinkle in his eye.

Aside from what they represent, one of the reasons I hate the royal family is the way they deal with death and illness. When one of their own is dying in hospital, the closest relatives don't go and visit them everyday like normal people would. 'Duty', fucking hell! Blair had to remind them to behave like human beings when Diana died (ironic of course because, to quote a certain song, 'he ain't no human being').

Do those that work get a day off because of this at any point?

A day of furlough.

No work harder, do it for Philip.

Looks like something the Mail of Sunday will be selling for £29.95

Maybe I need to make the sigils bigger.

I think it's just nice to be reminded that Royal Family members can actually die.

Yep, ten skin changes and that's their lot.

Can't believe they cancelled Bargain Hunt for this.

ETA I can see I am not the only one who is upset by this.

THIS MUST NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!

Whoever was employed to wipe his arse presumably will. Unpaid obviously

Replaced with an episode of Bye, Gone, Cunt.

It’s because of this family I am steadfast in refusing to eat Battenberg cake.

I would join you in your boycott but I really really like marzipan.

Somebody on Absolute Radio with a sense of humour. Now playing Hurt by Johnny Cash.

TBF, Battenburg cake is rank.

I have some affection for him. He was a man of principle, duty and character, and appalling political incorrectness.

Genuinely amazing

Yeah, but that's a tie-less tribute from Sir Keith. Once you start flag chasing, you've got to do it right.

Or go yachting.

Thank God for BBC Sounds, as I can avoid the endless news about the parasite's death...

He wasn’t politically incorrect, he was a racist.

In memory of dear Phil I will watch Bargain Hunt, next time its on, and see what all the fuss is about

I'm most concerned about tonight's masterchef final.

They are playing exactly the same thing on radio 1-5 and BBC Devon. I've got a three hour drive later and my cd player is on the blink FFS.

Bonus points for whoever finds and posts the first picture of him in heaven shaking hands with Captain Tom...

almost as if they don't give a shit about each other

Johnson quietly celebrating I reckon. He is off the hook for a few days with the entire UK media preoccupied with this. The conspiracy theorist in me suggests they were waiting for the right moment to pull the plug.
