My complaint to the BBC is in. Bypassed the standard name & email address only complaints form, fancied having a proper vent and giving their complaints department another to respond to.
YOUR COMPLAINT:
Title: Fawning sycophants and state instructed grieving
Dear sir/madam,
I fear you've catastrophically misjudged the "mood of the nation". A narrow support for the monarchy in recent polls does not translate to the majority of people wailing in the streets for a 99 year old man dying. Even amongst supporters of the monarchy I suspect the average response would be "oh dear how sad, hope the Queen is ok. What time is Eastenders on?"
The wall to wall coverage is nauseating, and feels an awful lot like the state using its broadcasting mouthpiece to instruct the peasants to mourn properly. Interrupting CBeebies for pity's sake, think the average 3 year old cares one jot?
24 hours later, having 6 music playing "songs to mourn to"? You are giving no refuge in your broadcasting to those who hold the legitimate position of not wanting to frantically tug a forelock to Our Betters.

Charles is the great hope for the Republic. He must rule for as long as possible. I hope he lives until he's 110.

Charles must never be king. Nor should those further down the line of succession soil the country as their forebears have.

Waitrose will have to order new letterhead and update their carrier bags to reflect the loss of their starcustomerrecipient of free groceries, and who will bear the cost - the Waitrose customer.
They will be split on who to feature in the new version, the disagreement will turn ugly and we'll end up with two factions and a civil war, the war of the Waitroses.

I agree but chucky will sadly takeover when she finally pops it. But hopefully that might start to make some of the royalists question their belief in the system for a change. (Although we will have to put up with more bbc bollocks at first after she dies.)

It's more pragmatic this way. A long Charles reign will mean that the whole system is associated with him, the word monarchy will cast his image in the mind's eye. It could be fatal for the future of the Royal Family. No-one likes him.
It's a genuine shot at getting rid of the whole lot of these dicksplashes.

For many people for many many years the current queen, the widow windsor, will be the epitome of monarchy. Then people will look forward to william or william's children. Just take them all to a cellar now and have done with it

I bet Brenda's laughing her tits off at dodging the bullet on the stamp for his 100th birthday message. I wouldn't be surprised if she had a little flutter on it.

Someone has posted a video on the Maidenhead Memories Facebook group entitled "Windsor the Day after HRH Prince Philip's death"
It's essentially them walking up the main street in Windsor avoiding tourists.... which is like any Saturday in Windsor

The BBC seem to be doubling down on their news pages, there seems to be more Philip stories now than yesterday.
There are pictures of the front of Buckingham Palace, but they are all close shots and no crowd shots, it would be interesting to see the number of people actually there.
