The man had a psychopathic hatred for modernist architecture. I respect that.

I don't think so. He's 99 and had been in and out of hospital with an infection.

He'd be among the first in line for a jab based on age, so would be surprised if covid.

Sarcasm is admittedly more difficult to convey in text, but you should notice it when it's that obvious.

If Philip had died 60 years ago, then yes. Now. Still yes. She wouldn't even need sex at her age. Just put on an episode of Golden Girls and wait out the inheritance.

Dear God how long is the performative mourning going to go on.

The protocols for this were created in the 50s and are widely disproportionate for today's moores and speed of information.

And updating plans has been a makework job for bored or useless corporate communications middle managers for 70 years. None of them have ever said "you know what? Let's pare this back a bit?" No. Each one successively has gold plated their predecessors work and added new features.

XFM has been playing slow smooth shit by Paul Weller "to mark or respects" for three days. This is insane.

It's enough to make one republican.

They properly British thing is to ignore the monarchy. The whole point is that is so ludicrous you don't take it seriously unless you are hopelessly ignorant.

This is worse than the fucking Olympics or world cup.

Thank fuck for streaming services. This would have been unbearable a decade ago.

If the French had had Netflix, would they still have stormed the bastille?

"The BBC’s wall-to-wall coverage of Prince Philip’s death has become the most complained-about moment in British television history, as viewers expressed their annoyance that shows such as EastEnders and MasterChef were replaced with royal tributes.

At least 110,994 people have contacted the BBC to express their displeasure at the decision to turn most of the corporation’s TV channels and radio stations over to rolling tributes to the Queen’s husband.

BBC One and BBC Two dedicated Friday evening’s programming to Philip, and their ratings fell as viewers switched off altogether, turned to streaming services or watched shows such as Gogglebox on Channel 4."

Make me wonder what kind of things I am supressing typing on this forum. Without Netflix, facebook, UP etc, I think I would be out in the streets with molotov cocktails. It is the only natural conclusion of my rant against the machine.
