Another said: “It was sad news Prince Philip [sic] died on Friday and I understand the BBC had to acknowledge the fact but on every single one of its channels? Why [not] just put it on one channel for those that want to listen to that drivel and the rest of us can have a bit of music.”

Come on own up, which one of you was it? :hehe:

The last paragraph reads:

"And in a sign that the BBC is destined to be criticised by all sides, 116 people wrote to the corporation over the weekend to complain that it was making it too easy to complain about its coverage."

Some Tory complained that a complaint option wouldn't have been available for a left wing event, but what would that be? The May Day bank holiday?

I feel that I have lost a member of a semi-deified group of people who are put on a pedestal merely due to their being born in the right bed.

It's good to see a subject (note not citizen) know their place. I haven't received my free cap yet so I can doff the sh*t out of it on Saturday. Must be in the post.
