Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

Christ sake. I just put the radio on, only to hear Claudia Winkleman reading out a listener's email saying that he was "heartbroken" at the death of PP, and had closed his business for the weekend as a mark of respect. What the fuck is wrong with people?
Oh there was some awful lickspitllery when Diana died, like all this only worse

Wonder how many places will change their names to honour the putrescent prince

I'm just so glad that I don't watch telly and hardly ever listen to the radio.
 
My mum was a very nice person though. No one cheered her death cos she was a compassionate kind person who never did a racism nor lived a life of unforgivable privilege and obscene splendour at the expense of millions
Yeah but how many Sainsbury's did she open?
 
Most of the country has gone insane. Feel so alienated from this. Have a lot of anger simmering today
I was out in thornton heath yesterday, and never heard anyone mention prince philip. I don't think there's the response to his death there was to the queen mother's. it's hard to know quite what's going on elsewhere but I think most people don't care and even people who might care probably care less because we've all had a shit year. I don't think most of the country's gone mad, only a small proportion who weren't entirely sane to start with but who's madness is being played up by the fawning media
 
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.
It’s OK, these are just charming gaffes. They demonstrate a playful sense of humour.
 
It's certainly going to be interesting to see how the audience figures play out.

Nowadays, although the BBC’s reach among the UK population remains enormous, the growth of Netflix and YouTube means audiences have somewhere else to turn.

Executives – and royal courtiers – will be nervously studying the release of television viewing figures and seeing if the decision to replace Friday night’s episode of EastEnders with tributes to Philip will expose the fact that the British public’s appetite for such material is limited.

Individuals working in BBC News suggested the long-planned scale of the coverage is because the corporation still bore the scars from the death of the Queen Mother in 2002, when its output was deemed insufficiently deferential by rightwing newspapers.

 
I get a daily email from the Guardian. Todays had the ;subject "The Guardian Today: Queen and royal family mourn Prince Philip as tributes pour in" but they didn't include an article and went straight to Northern Ireland. One article near the bottom about the ginger one and quarantining to get back or something. I never read it. Little victories.
