What the fuck at that staff communication? I've seen plenty of posts about how people will celebrate when Trump dies. How come when our racist kicks the bucket we have to suddenly be respectful? What the actual fuck. Love how its fine for you guys in the US to feel that way but we gotta keep zip at risk of being banned
Rest In Peace
Island cult? Prince Philip is evil? this thread is a gold mine of hot takes. I don't get it, if someone i dislike or don't care about dies, then I don't bother entering and posting in the thread.
Prince Philip may be controversial, but he is respected by many people and hardly come close to being as awful as people like Trump. If you dislike him, fair enough, but why feel the need to shit post? and then be surprised people take offence, it's embarrassing.
They're the ones I feel sorry for, but at least he'll be a better god now.The island cult comment wasn't about Britain but I can see how that would be an easy mistake to make.
(There is an actual island cult that supposedly revered him)
BBC appear to have pulled their entire schedule today. Which seems OTT considering they have 3 TV channels they could move regular programming to perhaps BBC2?
Considering Philip apparantly isnt wanting a big state funeral perhaps less coverage would have suited him?
I didn't care a jot about Prince Phillip when he was alive, and I certainly don't care about him now he's dead, but he was not even remotely comparable to Trump.What the fuck at that staff communication?

"Pointing out peoples failures in life is fair game even after death." - seems to suggest you can continue to criticise him for being racist?What the fuck at that staff communication?

He expressed a desire to kill people to lower the global population
Philip seems like a mildly prominent old dude who has contributed very little of value to the world and has caused very little harm in the world (as a minority directly targeted by his "gaffes", I feel... basically nothing.) Had he never been born, the world would be barely different. Expressing any sort of strong view on the person is bizarre to me, except as a form of in-group signalling.Rest In Peace

He was 99 and lived a privileged life. Not much more to say than that.
The dismissal of casual racism by some folks in this thread(and the media) is disconcerting.
It was the one thing they didn't want to happenLol
They were more bothered about accidentally letting a mixed race divorcee into the family then they were about one of them being a paedophile
Agreed, unironically.
Oh come off itNever, never ever should the Royal institution in the UK fade away.
Its such a hugely historical and influential part of the UK, both good and bad has come of the Royal's, you can already see over the last 10 years the changes it has made to modernized and improve the institution and hopefully that will continue for another 100 years
It was different before the locking and unlocking."Pointing out peoples failures in life is fair game even after death." - seems to suggest you can continue to criticise him for being racist?

The BBC just got the perfect excuse to ignore the violence in North Ireland for the next month
Honestly amazed at some of these comments...Never, never ever should the Royal institution in the UK fade away.

Care to make a bet that they've reformed given their mealy-mouthed response to the Oprah interview? Or the protection from the questioning of Prince Andrew regarding his relationship with Epstein?Its such a hugely historical and influential part of the UK, both good and bad has come of the Royal's, you can already see over the last 10 years the changes it has made to modernized and improve the institution and hopefully that will continue for another 100 years
'God bless the Royals, may they never end'Lol

It's the wrong time to talk about Northern Ireland. Let's focus on what really matters, blaming Meghan and Corbyn for this attack on the soul of our nation.Guess there is no point watching the news for the next 2 weeks, I wonder what shady shit the government will pass under the table now they don't have to worry about the limelight
I'm anti-royal-family, and I can honestly say I've thought about Phillip maybe twice, total, in my entire life, but he did arguably do quite a bit for conservation. Probably cancelled out by his being an ornery, racist relic and offending people.Philip seems like a mildly prominent old dude who has contributed very little of value to the world and has caused very little harm in the world (as a minority directly targeted by his "gaffes", I feel... basically nothing.) Had he never been born, the world would be barely different. Expressing any sort of strong view on the person is bizarre to me, except as a form of in-group signalling.

I think this may be a more appropriate video game avatar to go with this postNever, never ever should the Royal institution in the UK fade away.

My thoughts exactly.Meh. Can't say I'm feeling anything about the passing of a racist.
