Queen planning a girls trip to Marbs in the summer.

A huge loss and another Bob Bank regular gone.

Can't get away from his image on Facebook, and worryingly on several advertising boards. Its like living in North Korea

Feel sorry for the Queen, must be tough losing a husband and such a close cousin on the same day

[William Treseder]

I've no idea how you know so much about his personality before the queen became the queen, but ok let's accept you do.

He dated the next in line to throne for however long it was, and then had five years of marriage so I'm going to guess that it didn't come as the greatest of surprises to him.

Do you think he’s had an easier life than top class professional footballers. He put more hrs in, thats for sure. 😀

BBC going OTT. Both BBC1 & BBC2 have same news on Phil’s passing. Why?

I found about his death on the BBC Sport website, for some reason. Simulcast across the board.

You think that's all??? you're way out.

I was driving a Merc Sprinter when the original news was broadcast. The BBC controls all the radio traffic in the UK and commercial stations pay to use it. Every single channel on the vehicle radio was locked. I could not even change the channel at all. It just wouldn't work.
And the band information was showing DAB FM and AM all at once, it was being broadcast simultaneously on all of them.

It's quite scary when you realise that the government of the day could do that and broadcast information they want to drown you with at any moment they wanted, and you can't turn it off. 1984 is closer than we know.
The channels were freed up sometime between 3 and 4 O'Clock.

Is it the BBC doing it or the government? I lost track.

I am a big fan of the BBC but it's always incredibly sycophantic regarding the royal family. I was tuned into Radio 4 while driving to a walk I was leading on the South Devon Coast and as Radio 4 suspended its normal programming to convey the news ad nauseaum, I twiddled the knobs of the car radio and it was a full house. Radio stations 1, 2 and 4 (and probably 3) were all broadcasting the same very long tribute simultaneously in a way that seemed akin to what happens in Russia, China and North Korea. I daren't watch the news on TV tonight....

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, although I doubt many will have respect for you or your comment.

Hopefully when you eventually 'go' your family and friends won't be so disrepectful.

**** off - he was heading up an organisation that is actively covering up for, associating with and decorating paedophiles, as well as being institutionally racist, interbred, abusive, vastly overprivileged leeches probably involved in a bit of murder as well.. . He can burn in hell.

Fascinating that there are so many plebs lining up to defend this shit.

Fair play To you.

[William Treseder]

Hours and hours of eulogies on the media of course. It's sad when anyone dies, but let's not pretend that he has been anything other than a privileged boorish snob for decades and decades.....

He’s been much more than that, though each to their own.
