Prince Philip has died aged 99, Buckingham Palace announces
- Thread starter Rodrigues solitaire
- Start date
Racist old git!! His whole life will get the traditional British white washing just like another racist called Winston Churchill
People please, you need to show the proper deference when a titled racist dies. To do any less would be spiteful and that's just bad form.
not just her husband of 73 years but her cousin of 99 years too
We need to get rid of the monarchy, a parasitic institution.
Not much to say on Philips death. He was an old man who lived a chequered life, and it was his time to go as we will have to one day. Its sad for his family.

His implementation of the Duke of Edinburgh awards got me heavily into nature and the exploration and maintenance there of.
While he may not be popular he helped shape my view on the world with the DoE and I'll forever be grateful.
RIP

there are a fair few non white royal bootlickers as well to be fair, but yeah it's clearly aimed at deluded royalists so the racism is pretty far fetched.
The original post literally specified white people though.
There's been an odd amount of era posters lately convinced racism against white people is a serious problem. And I mean white as in white, not individual ethnicities.
It was a drive by comment about white people being sad because of empire.
It had nothing to do with the topic.
It was deliberately incendiary.
It singled out white people for god knows what fucking reason.
People need to get some tact.
you know what, you're right
RIP to the Duke of Edinburgh
rest in PISS
There's no way they both are making it to that age just naturally. There has to be something going on
You first.
And LOL, imagine telling people to get tact for the death of a man that famously had NONE.
Somehow I didn't see this all day. Wife just texted me and asked if I'd seen it.
Just saw it here after coming to check.

So far as I can see I was one of the few people in this thread who didn't show themselves to be an arse in the early pages.
Such as never lifting a finger and having access to the best health care round the clock?

Not at all. Just others to show some decency.
The man had his faults, that is for certain, but he was overwhelmingly a positive force, particularly in the lives of young people. A wife of seventy years, his children and family lost someone special to them today.
There is a time and a place to be a fool, but it is disrespectful in the thread announcing his death.
Sad news, Rest in peace old chap.
My grandma is genuinely gutted having watched the Royals all her life. I remember when she lost her husband, my grandad even 15 years later it's still a huge hole and whatever you think of the queen (and it's obvious what the Era consensus on this is) that's going to be a huge loss for her
Won't pretend he seemed a perfect human and a relic of somewhat worse times in some ways but he was a catalyst for some positive changes and the Duke of Edinburgh awards is quite a legacy

the original comment wasn't even about him but all the flag wankers that think we're an empire and how they act
in 1988 he said when he died he hoped to come back as a deadly virus so he could deal with overpopulation. he was a piece of shit, and a lot of us are having a fun day online.
Yeah, there's some serious mental gymnastics going on to get upset by that.
Currently there is trouble in NI that could easily escalate in to serious violence and fatalities.
There are elections less than a month away, including Scottish Parliament, that could be the precursor to the break up of the UK.
Sort of a global pandemic going on as well
But we need to forget all about that to fondly remember someone who could break the ice with his racist witticisms. Oh, and there was that time he shot a tiger - bloody good sport!
SMH at the posters choosing to defend a cantankerous old racist bigot as their hill to die on...
Great. 144 pages where a racist gets celebrated. The British media never ceases to amaze.
wow. you will need a fork lift truck for the Queens memorial issue.
I'm sure a few folk in this thread will be down at the newsagents first thing to make sure they get a copy.
The d of e awards were pretty cool although it's not like you needed a bloody great monarchy to make them happen. I never got gold though, I couldn't be bothered to repeat the expedition after the incident where no-one ended up in a body of water even though someone should have. Also I didn't want to actually do the whole thing where you met him. I did the gold level community service bit though.
