Tbf to the beloved cunt he didn't seem the type who would have wanted everyone's programmes cancelled for this shit.

Lenin wanted a quiet funeral in petrograd

How we laughed at the North Korean performative displays of state orchestrated grief.

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.

I don't know how I would feel but she has accepted that there are a few people who will shed tears of joy. She has also taken a degree of joy in other people's deaths.

Talking of the Mail...my old Dad moaned to me this morning that his daily rag had 31 pages coverage of the royal death.
I did ask him if he thought that only 1 page extra than the normal rf guff was respectful enough?

Apparently, today's Daily Mail edition is 144 pages long.

Seems like underkill. The lad doesn't even get two pages a year. This country's going to the dogs

based on what?
the media is permanently deranged of course

The fuss about it. The constant chatter. I am not looking forward to work next week, if this morning is anything to go by

We watched a dictator open a big museum instead after watching a bit of some greatest 80's hits thing on 5 and wondering how the fuck John Robb gets so much work!

That's so not going to happen.

For fuck’s sake! When is that asteroid due?
Pathetic.

How many people are there to mourn Phil the Greek and how many to watch the nut in the red jacket?

 

[cupid_stunt]

BBC 1 held up well there, but no doubt because interested viewers switched-over from BBC 2 & ITV.

Where are those fucking water cannon?

Bloody rent-a-mob.

Dunno if anyone's shared this, but you know it's 100% accurate:

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?

that's just sneaking a well deserved day off in and blaming it on an old man's death.

BBC inundated with complaints over ‘too much’ Prince Philip coverage

From that guy's website -

Ratings data crunched by Deadline shows that the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 all suffered audience declines between the hours of 7PM and 11PM, when the broadcasters lined up special coverage of the Duke of Edinburgh’s demise.

BBC One, the UK’s most-watched television channel, lost 6% of its audience last night compared with Friday, April 2 (full figures below). Sister channel BBC Two, which simulcast the BBC News channel for a good chunk of the evening, was down 65%, according to Barb figures supplied by overnights.tv.

It was a similar story elsewhere. ITV, the BBC’s main commercial rival, suffered a 60% dent to its ratings on Friday night, while Channel 4 — which broadcast a feature-length news special at 7PM — was down 8.5%.

Here's the funny bit... *drum roll * ...

Channel 4 did, however, largely stick to its planned schedule in the evening and was rewarded with the highest-rated show of the day in the shape of Studio Lambert’s Gogglebox, which was watched by nearly 4.2M viewers.

Blanket Coverage Of Prince Philip’s Death Proves To Be A Big Turn-Off For British TV Viewers

The BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 overhauled their schedules to bring audiences coverage of Prince Philip's death, but the output was a turn-off.

Stuart Maconie on R6 just solemnly intoned that because of..."...we're sounding different today and there'll be more news at midday.."

Midday "news"; cunt's still dead.

Though the goggleboxers were just switching between BBC 1, ITV and Sky news.

As a consumer of mass hysteria imagery I demand to see the toady mob swarm his coffin khomeini style and tear souvenir strips off the corpse. Gold braid, a bit of hat, lump of shrivelled psioriasised thigh, doesn't matter.

If Meghan goes to funeral:
Her suit had some dark grey piping on the collar, and the skirt was only 2 inches below her knee, the disrespectful attention-seeking whore making it all about herself!!!!

If she doesn't:
Meghan Snubs Royal Family and Offends Queen

That's a video clip for the times. Some mad old biffer dressed up in a costume covered in medals he probably bought off eBay making an unintelligible speech and delivering flowers in memory of someone he never knew, all the while being filmed by a crowd on their mobiles.
