Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

[chilango]

They should do a reenactment of this for Phil's funeral. Flags, salutes, the works.

 

[krtek a houby]

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

Ugh

 

[discokermit]

the local kids homes must have run out of children to feed to him.

My dad, fervent anti-royalist, may actually have imploded if he was watching TV/listening to the radio when this was announced. Watching him in the build up to the birth of one of the royal babies was hilarious. He can't even be in the same room as the royals being discussed. The time leading up to the funeral is going to drive him insane

here's me and my dad sharing the heartbreaking news just now (bonus dad joke left in shot for the lolz).

I'm now quite glad that yesterday afternoon I was banned from Facebook for 24 hours because I called someone a twat* - one less online opportunity today to be reminded which of my friends and relatives are stupid cunts.

(* It was a friend, but apparently the FB algorithm doesn't do irony )

Look at the fawning from the Guardian. At least you know where you are with the Daily Mail.

Scratch a liberal...

Gotta feel for the Queen though - to lose your husband and your cousin at the same time, that's really sad.

I've turned the telly off now - they're just repeating the same nonsense over and over again.

 

[Mr Moose]

Makes you wonder what they'll do when the Queen dies?

Just a straightforward singularity and the end of all time and matter.

It's genuinely nauseating isn't it. I mean, I already know they long ago lost whatever shreds of left-wingness they ever had, but this kind of thing is like having them call round your house to stand on your doorstep gloating about it.

 

[Mr Moose]

It's double Corrie and an Eastenders tonight, they better not cancel those.

If they cancel ‘Gogglebox’ it’s time to take to the barricades.

 

[Johnny Doe]

Just seen this on FB. Very moving

RIP Phil.
First you lost your driving license.
Then you lost your position as Most Embarrassing Member Of The Royal Family.
To be honest, you're better off out of it.

Fuck ! I have about 20 music stations on my dab radio & they are all playing shit depressing music because of this.

Searches internet for US classic rock stations to listen online.

[spitfire]

Absolute Radio at it as well. Pre recorded snippets sound like a robot or Siri or something.

I'll have to listen to my own sad music. I want my money back.

 

[brogdale]

What a morning to away from the computer.
Gutted.

I know its not protocol but I wonder if they may just throw in a bank holiday because of everything that is happening with covid. There was already calls for another bank holiday anyway. Problem is the selfish racist cunt has died right in the middle of the bank holiday season.

They‘ll scrap May Day this year (because socialism) and have a day for being toady to the royal family instead. Tories have wanted May Day gone for years for partisan political reasons, last plan knocking around a few years ago was to replace it with ‘Trafalgar Day’ sometime in the autumn. Cunts.

Apparently when Brenda pops it, Chucky might be known as King George VII instead of King Charles IV

There's at least ten articles on the BBC website, fawning doesn't cover it.

Even the sports section has one ffs, all about his sporting achievements.

I wouldn't go as far as to say I have affection for him but he was certainly part of the landscape as it were. I don't know very much about the man will listen to the euologies and find out I expect. I also find these types of threads on Urban an embarrassment.

Rather than avoiding mainstream media, will probably end up watching more mainstream media (and a bit less Urban) for a bit as a result

And the socialist vermin celebrating May Day isn't for partisan political reasons?

Not terribly bright, are you?

I’m undecided on whether it’s a good or bad thing that he missed Thatcher’s death anniversary by a day.
