Prince Philip's funeral: 55.8 million don't bother to watch ceremony in UK.
You're a funny one is you. Right wing politically, a royalist it seems, yet you've said on here on occasion that growing up, you didn't have a pot to piss in, quite extreme poverty if i'm correct, a tough innings. You have my sympathy. Yet you champion those politically and an institution that belongs to an establishment which either directly or indirectly contributed towards your poverty, through the class system that they crave. You can obviously think what you like and align yourself to whoever or whatever you want, but can't you make the distinction between your situation historically and the the kind of people you support politically?
I'm a big fan of Her Majesty. After all, I get a day off every year on one of her birthdays.
More than a little disappointed I didn't get a day off as a result of Philip's death, though. Major letdown. Holding his funeral on a Saturday was a slippery trick in my opinion.
I'm amazed as to why some people do not ask the question why they are born into poverty, or continue to live a life struggling, and others have unfathomable wealth, just through birth. There has to be something fundamentally wrong when this keeps happening, and something even more wrong when those that do struggle through no fault of their own, cosy up to institutions that are in part, responsible for putting them in that position to start with. Talk about doing another mans bidding.
I reckon the Royal Family has held its popularity, just that Lady Di was a massively popular person, hence the huge viewing figures. William and Kate Middleton had good viewing figures for their wedding, not far off Charles and Di and Anne and Mark Phillips. Andrew and Fergie's wedding didn't capture the public imagination in the same way.
Prince Philip was never a particularly popular royal, hence what I think are quite average viewing figures.
Yeah, it's definitely weird. Things is, there's already a big, long thread about Prince Philip and his funeral. The viewing figures are mentioned on there. LoM obviously wanted to draw further attention to them, so I'm wondering why? After all, they're not particularly impressive given the blanket coverage this event has received. So is he saying: "Look! Only 13.6 million people watched Philip's funeral!" Or is he saying: "13.6 million people watched Philip's funeral - isn't that amazing?" Or maybe he's trying to say something else?
I think we should be told.
