They've still got this chap who is also a direct descendant of Generalisimo Franco and Queen Victoria (a night neither of them wanted to remember)
Plus one other king from the other more democratic branch of the royal family and there's a bloke called Charles Prince Napoleon who fancies himself as Emperor.

Urban’s aggregate political compass might have shifted a lot from its very early days, but it hasn’t shifted that much to expect any other response to the death of such character as Phil the Greek. We’d be fucked otherwiseThanks to all urbanites here. The wall to wall coverage of Prince Philip was getting to me. So came here and as ever Urban restores my faith.

Well I hope the BBC learn that not everyone gives a fuck & runs it wall to wall on just one channel & let Bargain Hunt finish.

Done.
The coverage is winding me up.
On World Service and one would think the guy was a saint.
Ive nothing personal against him.
All I want is to get rid of these structures of privilege. Where what your bloodline is means you get a life of privilege.
Its like people like him have sacrificed there lives to be public servants.
Whole thing is bollix.

That’s bad taste. At least have some sympathy for his family.

Whoever wrote that headline's got to be trolling surely.
Why are you here?
It’s like you hate them when they act with Royal formality, and you hate them when they don’t.
What’s it got to do with you?
Monarchy is bad taste

I'll be straight with you, I didn't wish him actual harm or torment in his final years. I reserve that kind of sentiment for a pretty select group of monsters. To me he was a common or garden racist buffoon (personally) and the representative of an institution that cheapens who we all are. But without the hysterical guff we've seen today - and knew was coming - I wouldn't be making much of it. It's all a bit cartoonish.
But you mention sentiment and the way his family might be feeling. Well, who knows, they don't really do emotion do they? What a shitty little institution, where some myth of 'duty' gets trundled out to justify a family that won't even visit their own own when they are in hospital. A nest of vipers playing their lives out like the shittiest reality show, whilst pretending they embody something lofty and above us. And that's not even glancing at the historical role of their class.
If I was to try and summon up a modicum of the sympathy I might feel when any random does, I'd struggle in the case of his family (not just his nonce of a son). If any of them really wanted to be a proper family they'd get the fuck out of the hypocritical mess of a family and institution they are all embroiled in.

Well unlike you I actually enjoy being here. I don't complain about everything. If you don't like this forum theres plenty of other places online for you to go.
