Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

To those of you celebrating the death of a frail 99 year old man, take a look at yourselves, and recognise that your parents too will die. Then ask yourselves how you would feel if their neighbours cheered their death.

Sometimes this place is beyond disgusting, at times, it makes a sewer look like sweet water.

To those glorying in the death of a good man, fuck you, you are below the status of vermin.

Calm down sunshine. Pour yourself a brandy, stick on the 10 o clock news and have a nice crywank about your dear departed racist nonce chum.
 
Just wondering what you mean by probably not agreeing with the institution of the Royal family. Its seems to me that its institution one either agrees with or not. I don't see what probably means in this context.

I'm for abolishing it.

What is your view?
I can kind of see both arguments. Overall I think it should probably be abolished or certainly a substantial amount of their wealth redistributed, and they can still reveal plaques and whatnot.
 
If anyone is worried about the Coronation Street situation, tonight's episode will be seen in the usual 2-part Monday sequence. 7.30 and again at 8.30, and Mondays' will be shown as an hour-long episode Tuesday.
 
Meanwhile some in the British community of Northern Ireland don't give a fuck that he's died and the queen is in morning

Id agree with this. On abolishing them - they independently own a lot of land. Prince Charles main income is from the land that Prince of Wales owns. A lot of farmland. Its still feudal relationship between Prince Charles and his tenant farmers. Duchy of Cornwall for example.

So yes the land they own could be taken off them.

The ex royalty could then be helped to get back into the labour market.

If always thought that I were the owner of a travel agency, I would very ostentatiously offer last- weekend getaways for people wishing to escape the collective grief that erupts whenever a Royal pegs it.

The genius of it is that you wouldn’t even need to spend a penny in advertising. Submit an anonymous email to the Daily Mail pretending to be an outraged customer, and the following day you’d have a free advert in the Mail in the shape of a front page headline reading ‘Fury as travel agent offers getaways to escape national mourning tribute to Prince Philip’.

Bahnhof Strasse, you work in the industry don’t you? There’s a killer Top Tip for you. You can keep all profits but a nice free holiday for me and the missus when you have the time wouldn’t go amiss.

Don’t go to France mind. They’re just as fascinated with the Royals
 
Not just going by Urban, but I do think the various media outlets have overestimated just how "mournful" the British public would be over Prince Phillip's death. Almost as if they're trying to goad everyone into grief, but I don't think most people are buying it, just annoyed that we're still in a basic lockdown and can't watch any decent TV.

After the Princess Di thing, my brother was contemplating buying a mobile florist/cuddly toy van and driving it round all these sites of collective mourning. Reckoned he could make a fortune...

Funny you should mention it, Frau Bahn who is fairly ambivalent regarding the royals scrolled through the telly tonight and said, "Fuck me, when the queen goes just stick us all on the first plane to somewhere that doesn't give a fuck!"

H was such a misanthropic, splenetic, old fuck, that I wouldn't be surprised to find that he posted here in secret. I shall be keeping a critical eye on the "Posters who have disappeared thread" over the next few months
 
The coverage of Prince Philip reminds me of film I've been watching on Mubi.


Upper class having a dinner party in turn of century 19c Europe. They discuss politics and philosophy whilst living life of privilege surrounded by servants. As evening wears on one realises that these peoples views sound reasonable, Liberal and progressive on the surface but underneath contain a heavy dose of aggressive attitudes about keeping the status quo in their favour.
 
Wales Online is a shit source of news, but FairPlay they've excelled themselves to day. They've posted a list of the top 100, yes 100 (count them) utterances by Phil the Greek. In any other area of public life one or two would get you sidelined for a few months, half a dozen would get you sacked, but good old Phil racked up 100, thats assuming there aren't others that could be added to the list!

No good man has died, you clown.
 
Ah yes, Lady Thatcher, the lady who kicked the socialist rabble's balls so hard, they are still whining like whipped dogs decades later. :D

I'm 68, there has been a Conservative government for fifty of those years. Blessed to live in such wonderful times. :D

Brighton was a blast, wasn't it?

For the 40th anniversary, they should dig the old fascist up and blow her bones to bits, for the lolz.

They are using Daily Mirror article. So credit goes to Mirror.

I particularly "liked" this one:

34. To then Paraguay dictator General Stroessner: “It’s a pleasure to be in a country that isn’t ruled by its people.”

:eek:
