good example of how absurd this is - my Auntie back in 1997 went into London to lay flowers down for Diana instead of attending the funeral of a family friend's son, a school friend of mine, who had died 2 weeks earlier aged 18 in a car crash. That for me beggars belief.

_----------------

Yep, always said the same, hundred of thousands lobbing 50 quid flowers at a car hurtling down the motorway but never going to see their own parents graves a mile away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No wonder it crashed then.

Racist or not, he did a lot of good work for charity and was an iconic British figure.

I think my mindset on all things Royal comes from having to sit through the entirety of Andrew and Fergie's wedding in 1986 when I was 7. Back then we were forced to watch whatever the adults wanted to watch. A scarringly boring experience, clearly.

He was definitely a character but no saint

Told a 13yr old boy he was too fat to become astronaut

Asked a Tamil priest if he was a terrorist

Told British students in China they would get slit eyes

Asked a Scottish driving instructor how he managed to keep booze away from his students



----------------------------------------------------------------------
did the student a favor. he later went on a diet and became a astronaut.

misquote. he asked a terrorist if he was a tamil priest.

iv'e got nothing here.

often wondered that.

I really find the whole Royal thing weird. I'm not in the slightest bit interested in their births, deaths, marriages or divorce. I've never met any of them, nor are they people in the public eye with a body of work I can have an opinion on. They're as important to me as a family I don't know down the road. I find it so weird how the public cling to them like it's of any real personal importance to them.

A good example of how absurd this is - my Auntie back in 1997 went into London to lay flowers down for Diana instead of attending the funeral of a family friend's son, a school friend of mine, who had died 2 weeks earlier aged 18 in a car crash. That for me beggars belief.

I just don't get it. Now it'll be all over the news about Philip and quite frankly I don't care. It's for the family to mourn and the family only.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Just because you don’t care, doesn’t mean everyone else has to follow your lead. I’m no huge royalist by all means, but I understand it’s part of British culture and gives us an identity. What is wrong with that? Just seems so many people are hell bent on bringing down anything British and with an identity. America mourned when JFK got shot. It’s part of their culture. I just don’t get why you have such a problem with it. Simply turn the TV off when flicking through and don’t watch the news. As for your Aunty, that’s way OTT. I really don’t think the vast majority of British people would choose to lay flowers over going to a family funeral ffs. But, at the same time, I see no issue with British people being proud of our history and culture

Well said Don

Of course the lefties won't even let his body get cold before shouting racism

Comment deleted by Site Moderator

I remember years ago I met The Queen and Phillip at a school function. I was only 7 or 8 years old and I remember asking Phillip if he was the King. He laughed and made a quip about women in power and how he couldn’t be arrsed wearing a heavy crown. That was nearly 30 years ago but I still remember it well.

RIP Phillip

The silly lefties rejoicing in his death cos of his racism.. like most of them wouldn’t be distraught if their racist granddad died.

I’m not accusing anyone on this group of celebrating but I’ve seen plenty of them on social media.

I agree that the coverage is OTT.

My point was, most of the people rejoicing his death cos of racism probably have family members as racist who they’d be devastated to lose.
