Hillonearth Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Is it just me or are the TV companies totally overplaying this one? I got it with the Diana thing to an extent because it was a slight shock - though not to Phil obviously - but we're talking about a 99 year old in poor health...we don't need wall-to-wall coverage to see us through it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 On the TV scheduling thing, the wife brought it up earlier which led to her being reminded, as she had inexplicably forgotten, about my vitriol towards "royalty". Always gives me a tremendous buzz to tell her il accept her post of view if she just gives me one reason why any human should be born deserving of more respect than either her or me. And as a wee extra after the last year, to ask her why we should specifically mourn this guy who made it to 99 courtesy of a life of pure luxury, wealth and the best health care on our buck, whilst over 100k people and counting have died having funded a health care system that was found seriously wanting in the face of a pandemic. Real catharsis in rinsing those who revere the head of the snake tbqh. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambieBud Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 This attempt by all the broadcasters to make out that there is a national/international feeling of grief is frankly ridiculous. Blanket coverage of sycophants in black ties convinces no one. I dread to think what it’ll be like when The Queen goes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else was devoted to the death of Stalin the same day. Best thing about today is that I've learned this. 38 minutes ago, Left Back said: That's a smokescreen so the government can create an easy list of anti-royalists they can f**k over. I still signed it. If we ever reach the point where we get put up against the wall for hating the monarchy I want to be first to go. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a fairly transparent attempt at promoting “Britishness” in the hope it reminds those pesky nationalists in Scotland, Ireland and Wales of everything they love about the place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't get my head around folk fawning over this racist old b*****d though. My wee cousin has been all over the Markle story (on her side) and the BLM movement. She then posts a picture of this p***k and a broken heart emoji. How many other folk will be in the same boat today? Absolute 'Like' hungry c***s. Pathetic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
