Current Affairs Phil the Greek

I think you are the one who is out of touch. Like it or not, the British Royal Family retain high levels of approval and support from the British public.

And if you don't like what's on the BBC, change channels. What's stopping you? Plenty of choice these days.

As for messages popping up, welcome to the world of social media, apps and alerts. You can disable alerts, if you like? Your choice.

Just like Poppy Facism. Your freedom of expression to wear it or not but be prepared to be destroyed by the media if you don’t.

They don’t, just a few on here.....

I don't think it's hate though.

It's more apathy and then a resentment of stuff like this being forced upon us.

I don't wish ill upon them. It's not like if we abolished the monarchy we should take their land and possessions etc. I mean they did that back in the day in this country and abroad but society has changed. I'm sure they could live quite handsomely off the Duchy of Cornwall alone.

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.

I hope that they can have a small dignified ceremony.

Watched a bit on BBC, when he said that during his time in the navy when they were bombarding the Italians, and the Italians had the effrontery to fire back.......classic....

I will always wear a poppy but I fully agree with your sentiment.

It's a good place to add that I don't hate the Royal Family (although I think it's time for them to go). I do hate the media.

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

Care to explain?

Feel like I'm in totalitarian regime, absolutely surreal lol

All we need are news anchors bursting into tears and we'll know what it's like to live in North Korea.

That’s probably true, it’s only the hard left on here, you know the ones as they have had the customary humour bypass........

You’d love that wouldn’t you.....

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

I doubt he'll be attending the funeral of the man who masterminded his mother's assassination.

Love to see news anchors sobbing about one of these freaks dying? No.
