Duke of Edinburgh dies

Re: Duke of Edinburgh dies

with all this megxit stuff and now P phil popping it I am really surprised at how much the royals still mean to the UK.
I was under the impression that brits thought of them as an outdated tax burden.
Seems many are loyal to the royal family who are imo as much as an oddity as religion...It's there so we must believe it

You know you don’t have to believe it don't you?

Re: Duke of Edinburgh dies

Its very odd

Grown women and men obsessed over all this nonsense

I am hoping to watch some TV tonight but they are still droning on and on , witchell is still at it , he must have a sore arse

And they’ve not put Pointless Celebrities on as advertised. End of the world is nigh.

Re: Duke of Edinburgh dies

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.

That must have been devastating for you.

I tuned in to BBC2 this morning hoping to watch The Masters highlights. No golf, no Phil the Greek, just the live cookery programme that's usually on BBC1. Theyve got cookery on every single day, but one the rare occasion they could show some decent sport, they dont bother.
I'm going to write to Barry Took.

They probably gave him a 10 minute tribute on a Sunday teatime. He deserved more.

Re: Duke of Edinburgh dies

Not happy, no master chef final either ffs....
On the flip side, I know nothing about royal affairs so decided to read a bit about him. Quite a crazy life, certainly when he was a kid. Liked to get involved but after marrying the queen had to take a back seat. Also Liked the fact he was the only person in the world who could treat her like a normal person....maybe that’s why she loved him so hey?

What's that supposed to mean? Why the sarcasm?

Or are you implying you think it's a good thing that the government of the day can close down all broadcasting except what they want us to hear at a moments notice?

I’ve just watched New Order on Sky. No minutes silence for Phil boy?

Disgusting. Probably treasonous.
