Current Affairs Phil the Greek

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Will his funeral be limited to 30 like everyone else has been?

If it was down to the family themselves to have their wishes respected then I'd say yes. But given the weird (obsessive would be more accurate) relationship that the media in this country have with the monarchy I'm gonna say they won't be afforded that kind of privacy.

The utter BS from the BBC. This rancid old racist being repackaged as an environmentalist and a scourge of the nazis.

Heard he was seen whispering into Hitler’s ear in the Fuhrerbunker moments before he blew his brains out. #savedtheworld

Given the economic self harm leavers (the majority of whom are royalists) have caused this country, abolishing the monarchy, in economic terms, would pale into comparison. Tbf I don't think they add much to the economy anyway. As you allude to, we could open up all their land and property for all to enjoy (at a small fee).

Put the guillotine on pay per view.

The monarchy adore the media because it gives them relevance and therefore their power and money. Any pretence they are anything other than a hereditary Kardashians is ridiculous.

He was the sixth man.

The old Stalinists will be seething.

He was probably asking his permission to get the SS tattoo removed from his armpit.

I agree that the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme is great.
I will also state that the volunteers that run it (teachers etc.) are the ones that actually make it work.

I did the Silver,paid for everything myself, other than his name on the tinny badge and cert he had nothing to do with it.

Who said they weren't? All I said was that they would probably like to have this funeral be a small private, family affair (attended by only the nearest and dearest) but that the media almost certainly won't allow that to happen.

Nothing about anything they have ever done has suggested that is what they'd want. They want the media there and they want to also pretend they would rather have some dignified privacy. They want money, attention and power and will happily do whatever it takes to get it.

I hope Harry comes back for the funeral, and spends two weeks isolating in a hotel at Heathrow.....

Anybody who stockpiled union jacks will make a fortune. Going to be the law to have one in every window.

You really are a fool aren’t you. I thought it was just the left wing politics, but you are actually stupid.....
