Prince Phillip

Has died...do we get a Bank Holiday?

 

Penniless Greek spiv until he married the Queen.

Unabashed racist and one of those royals who delighted in telling poor people they ought to work harder.

 

I blame Meghan.

 

He did well to make it to 99.

 

Didn't manage to get the telegram from his wife, which is a shame. Probably will be a state funeral and day off for most.

 

rip his wiv da angles and humrambe now

 

Mixed feelings on this. He was a person, lived a rich and interesting life and leaves the Queen bereft. On the other hand I sometimes drive in Norfolk and that’s significantly safer now.

 

In normal circumstances I guess we would have got a bank holiday for the funeral but as the pandemic has hit the economy hard I guess that they'd argue against one.

 

I'm no great fan, but this thread is already very distasteful IMO!!!

MODERATORS PLEASE MODERATE THIS NOW!!!

 

Duke of Deadinburgh more like.

 

Christ, we're going to have to listen to what a great human being this silver spoon racist was for weeks, aren't we?

 

You come on to a memorial thread with I’m no great fan. I find that shocking and disrespectful about someone who has just died.

Save your criticisms until after our Queen has mourned or better still KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF!

RIP Phillip.

 

Exactly. Imagine if the Queen, or even a minor royal, were to read this thread.

 

I liked him. RIP Phil old son

 

I am being honest when I said I am not a fan but I am not being disrespectful like many have already been on this thread, in fact I am trying to stop the thread descending into a distasteful parody of the man.

 

Two of the first comments that you don't think have crossed the line?

 

But this is not a funny subject and neither were respectful furthermore they border on insulting, which is very distasteful.

 

He was irreverent and often distasteful himself. I’d imagine his last physical act was to goose a nurse Sid James style. I think the thread is in keeping with his public image.

Why don’t you go off a read some excruciating hagiography in one of the Tory papers that not so long ago delighted in implying he killed Diana and other such nonsense?

 

I can't believe you made a newsreel announcing his death

 

Lets not try to make this thread about me as you all know full well what I was talking about.

SO I WILL REPEAT PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD MODERATORS AND HAVE A PROPER MEMORIAL THREAD FOR PRINCE PHILLIP.

 

Jesus H Christ what a tosspot.

 

Perhaps you can tell us what we are allowed and not allowed to write?

 

Karen's going to demand to speak to your manager next...

 

who the hell are you to dictate what is tasteful and what isn’t. The bloke was 99. No need for the faux sympathy that was excruciating around Diana’s death. If people liked him then great. If people didn’t then fair enough. But leave censure to race crimes and not a bit of mockery about the death of a man who had a rich and fulfilled life

 

Rip

I met him once about 30 years ago, went to the palace for an export award. Seemed a down to earth pleasant bloke.

 

99 year old racist parasite dies.

Forgive me for not giving a single shyt.

 

I’m not trying to make the thread about you. You, on the other hand, seem determined to make it about you.

 

By asking for it to be closed? This is my last comment about this do your worst guys
