I’d never realised Comrade Phillip was the greatest man that ever lived. 11:03 - Apr 11 with 2842 viewsBlueschev

Thank goodness for the relentless coverage across the entire BBC for educating me.

They even cancelled the Sunday morning quiz on radio Suffolk, which makes perfect sense.

Are you referring to that chap who came over here as an immigrant and obtained citizenship through arranged marriage (to his cousin), was given free house, car etc, and lived on benefits for decades, had multiple kids - all looked after by tax-payer?

I never knew him, and a man of his age dying is not uncommon.

You need to learn the difference between respect and obsequious.

The OP words it rather bluntly but I share his surprised at the full on nature of the coverage. Even in 2021 Britain where grieving is competitive it seems a bit OTT.

If only there were hundreds of other tv and radio channels plus various streaming outlets out there to avoid this coverage if you wanted to.

Prince Phillip was clearly a decent enough bloke but the coverage was very tinpot dictatorshiplike for me

And some folk will be in trouble for adding a verse about how he was a decent sort but could be a bit of a bell at times.

It is what he would have wanted.

I hadn't got as far as the lyrics.

Only the concept.

Perhaps Bloots would like to write a few of his own to start it off.

Just in case.

I was rather amused by some coverage on Times Radio this morning, they were asking the question was Prince Philip a feminist. This was based on the fact that he was deferential to his wife, bowed to her, walked behind her in public and played second fiddle to her.

They got an expert on to interview, her response was pretty straightforward. To Paraphrase.

"No.

He had to do all that as his wife was the Queen.

No, he wasn't a feminist."

It was kind of a daft angle to go with to my mind, and fairly typical of how some sections of the media like to try and revise things in retrospect.

When I was a kid in Ipswich there was an annoying paperboy used to sing that tune replacing his own name in place of DM.

I could hear him coming down the street and it's used to drive me mad to the point I ended up chasing him down the road one afternoon.

He then started to sing it louder just to wind me up, throw the paper in the front garden and run like feck.

It got to the point I would obsessively wait for him and look out the window.

I hated him.
