Well, one man dies and the British press and media go gaga… even to wokest of the woke in the Guardian are at it. 125,000+ deaths from Covid, with several likely directly linked to The Handshaking-Haystack and nobody really bats an eyelid… nicely done dear boys, nicely done…. throw another pleb on the fire, it’s getting cold!

A 99yo who was born into privilege, who did nothing of value, who married his second cousin, is venerated like he was Nelson Mandela. This stuff is what keeps people enslaved. The brainwashed Brits can keep their royalty.

“did nothing of value”
Fought the nazis.
People who don’t understand what’s going on around his death don’t understand human nature and/or have never been to, spoken to someone from , or read about Britain.

On the front line was he?
WTF you saying? Ridiculous comment

yes, he was on the front line in the navy
that’s not the point of the post
The original post is about the idiocy of the media and a large portion of the British public and how they live vicariously through the monarchy and ignore the horrendous death level of Covid – caused in part by their Eton-Chav of a PM – and in general ignore the deprivation and disintegration of their society.

Yes. He was on the front line.

My uncle was one of three, out of 200, who survived an attack on the Nazis at Monte Casino during WWII. Where is his front page? What about the 197 who died and the thousands of others who died? Philip is the product of an inbred archaic system that should have been abolished in 1789. You can join the brainwashed and believe he and Lizzie Sax-Coburg are better than you, I choose to treat them with the disdain they deserve.
Unreal
All this generation of war heroes etc is dying out now. If one person reflects on the role played by your uncle and others because the death of Prince Philip makes them aware of that for a second in between posts in Instagram etc – where the harm in that? You sound churlish
Aren’t all the fallen heroes remembered in Australia, France, Poland , Belguim and UK every year on November 11th? Lest we forget which is only proper.
Did you mean Monte Cassino , Italy ? 55,000 Allied troops lost their lives at that battle along with 2,000 civilians, 20,000 Germans. You might be interested in checking out the Commonwealth War graves site…..289 remain unidentified. There is a lot of family grief for certain in these figures. Isn’t war atrocious.

Churchill also fought the nazis and he was a mass murdering racist. Now Phil isn’t anywhere near Winnie in the murderous stakes, but he had quite the reputation as a rude racist.

It was ANOTHER record day for 2nd doses in Blighty yesterday.
Up by 450,136, the total number of people fully vaccinated is 6,990,882 or 10.5% of the population.In Ireland that figure is 5.7%.
The number of people who’ve had at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine is 32,010,244 or nearly half of Blighty’s entire population.
Marvellous™

Whatever about the British press, what about the so called Irish press? I really don’t understand why Broadsheet insist on putting the “Irish” Daily Mail at the top nearly always. I wouldn’t even classify it as Irish anymore. It was so predictable what they were going to have on their front page tomorrow, practically half of it with a picture of you know who. Are we not supposed to be an independent country, freed from British rule?

Very good point. The Daily Express sell less than 2000 copies a day in Ireland, and I suspect quite a lot of those are British ex-pats. Still Broadsheet put up their paper every night. Why not some Irish regional ones? I also think they must be getting some advertising income off the “Irish” Daily Mail. Their sales have collapsed in last 2-3 years, only selling around 20,000 Monday – Friday. They sell around 25,000 Saturday.

I think BS upload the front pages of newspapers as they are submitted by whomever/readers; regardless of wherever one lives they post the submissions (unless it’s porn – I’ve never seen any porn) on a daily/nightly basis, the national daily’s though will probably require a subscription fee, which is costly 24/7 just for the front page, so again, it’s back to reality and the consideration of those who contribute their time; as far as I’m aware (based on previous comments), everyone who contributes to BS is voluntary, so the lads and lassies working to publish, research, moderate etc., are doing it for the good of their health. And the greater good. And Timmy the dooooog.

Its suppression is typical of why Ireland generally has rather heavy-footed comedy despite being a country where wit is a native talent and is highly appreciated.
