I doubt the Royal Family will head over the JA606 to see the tributes.
It's almost like some posters here have no idea of how the forum works!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m sure they don’t but that’s not really the point. I don’t say anything on here that I wouldn’t say in real life.
Plus I’m pretty sure that Twitter will be filled with much of the same.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone on twitter is a caant. You on twitter, yeah?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No I’m more right-leaning than left so....
RIP Phil. Will always remember you for lighting up the broom cupboard. This Morning will be darker without you.

"If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?" (in 1996, amid calls to ban firearms after the Dunblane shooting).
——————
A quite frankly horrific thing to say (if indeed it was said) in the aftermath of the worse school shooting incident in the history of this country.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
......
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is eh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardly worth dwelling on 25 years later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite.
Sorry BMCL but I’ve lost a bit for you there pal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First time I’d seen the comments following the dunblane massacre. I appreciate it may not be something that’s close to other peoples hearts, but it is and always will be close to mine, so I feel no shame in commenting on a disgraceful take on it when I am made aware of the take.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours after the guy died? Ok mate
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why be quiet about what he did in his life? Why only point out the good stuff? What the feck is wrong with pointing out what he said and did? Its hypocritical to only point out the good stuff when he was a racist at best and definitely a caaant.
He was a good father, a war hero, a good husband and a racist caaant. Nothing wrong to point it all out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You’re not breaking any news here and out of respect to his relatives and in general relatives of people who have died, it’s generally not a classy thing to list people’s misgivings a few hours after they’ve died.
I can’t believe I have to explain this, honestly.
There’s plenty of people who I really don’t like but you won’t see me posting about their faults on a page dedicated to wishing them RIP hours after their death. Exceptions perhaps for murderers such as the Yorkshire Ripper as mentioned earlier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you mean respect for the family? Are they reading this? Its bollox man. If the mainstream media would do this yet. But not some wum on an obscure footy forum ffs. What if you are on the bog with a mate and he says he is a racist. Will you tell him to shut it out of respect for the family who cannot hear him?

There is a difference between the Monarchy and the man. You can separate the two.
Like everyone he is a product of his time. He certainly wouldn't have been considered racist for a large part of his life.
People now imagine that if they had lived in the same era he did, they would have had the same ideas as now, they wouldn't, they would have been like him.
People may not like the Monarchy, or not found him likeable, but the time to criticise is after the funeral, not on the day of his death.
Prince Phillip didn’t have class, decorum and etiquette, just because he’s dead doesn’t mean people should automatically extend him the same courtesy on an football forum.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're saying that but I highly suspect Prince Andrew might have dropped by a couple of years ago and commented on the Emma Watson thread.
For me he's an old man that's died after a long life. It shouldn't really be about more than that. There will be family members grieving and that should be respected. Having said that they're no better or worse than us here.
Also, the concept of monarchy is pretty ridiculous, IMO, in the 21st Century.

Why? What are the rules? Would you think the same for say Escobar? Just say nice words about him on the day he died? Not comparing Philip with Escobar, but just wondering when its OK.
Did you tell people to be nice when Andrew's mate hung himself?

I understand that. I just think it's laughable how OTT some people get about this kind of thing.
It makes no difference to my life what happens to them really. That doesn't make me a bad person it just means I have my own important people to care about.
It doesn’t matter. If someone doesn’t respect him life they shouldn’t feel the need to respect him in death. The bloke wouldn’t piiiiss on us if we were on fire, and yet people are getting upset on behalf of the royal family for making some unsavoury comments about him on ja606.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why be quiet about what he did in his life? Why only point out the good stuff? What the feck is wrong with pointing out what he said and did? Its hypocritical to only point out the good stuff when he was a racist at best and definitely a caaant.
He was a good father, a war hero, a good husband and a racist caaant. Nothing wrong to point it all out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You’re not breaking any news here and out of respect to his relatives and in general relatives of people who have died, it’s generally not a classy thing to list people’s misgivings a few hours after they’ve died.
I can’t believe I have to explain this, honestly.
There’s plenty of people who I really don’t like but you won’t see me posting about their faults on a page dedicated to wishing them RIP hours after their death. Exceptions perhaps for murderers such as the Yorkshire Ripper as mentioned earlier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you mean respect for the family? Are they reading this? Its bollox man. If the mainstream media would do this yet. But not some wum on an obscure footy forum ffs. What if you are on the bog with a mate and he says he is a racist. Will you tell him to shut it out of respect for the family who cannot hear him?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t go to the bog with a mate.

Sure you do

Spare a thought for the woman that spent her whole life with him? They just started a new series of location, too. Kirsty

There is a difference between the Monarchy and the man. You can separate the two.
Like everyone he is a product of his time. He certainly wouldn't have been considered racist for a large part of his life.
People now imagine that if they had lived in the same era he did, they would have had the same ideas as now, they wouldn't, they would have been like him.
People may not like the Monarchy, or not found him likeable, but the time to criticise is after the funeral, not on the day of his death.

Prince Phillip didn’t have class, decorum and etiquette, just because he’s dead doesn’t mean people should automatically extend him the same courtesy on an football forum.

I doubt the Royal Family will head over the JA606 to see the tributes.
It's almost like some posters here have no idea of how the forum works!

You're saying that but I highly suspect Prince Andrew might have dropped by a couple of years ago and commented on the Emma Watson thread.

For me he's an old man that's died after a long life. It shouldn't really be about more than that. There will be family members grieving and that should be respected. Having said that they're no better or worse than us here.
Also, the concept of monarchy is pretty ridiculous, IMO, in the 21st Century.

It's all coming together (for want of a better phrase). Was that the day he got free wifi with his pizza in the Pizza Express?

Yes it does. You don't know the man, how he was in his private life. Today we should give him the benefit of the doubt

Why? What are the rules? Would you think the same for say Escobar? Just say nice words about him on the day he died? Not comparing Philip with Escobar, but just wondering when its OK.

Did you tell people to be nice when Andrew's mate hung himself?

I understand that. I just think it's laughable how OTT some people get about this kind of thing.
It makes no difference to my life what happens to them really. That doesn't make me a bad person it just means I have my own important people to care about.

It doesn’t matter. If someone doesn’t respect him life they shouldn’t feel the need to respect him in death. The bloke wouldn’t piiiiss on us if we were on fire, and yet people are getting upset on behalf of the royal family for making some unsavoury comments about him on ja606.
