ffs I was just enjoying some Beethoven on R3 and then was hit with: "I wonder how many composers Prince Phillip met in his lifetime". Couldn't care less if he had a threesome with Winifred Wagner and Richard Strauss.

This is the best take.
The fun thing about the Duke of Edinburgh was the fact that he came from the great tribe of the Perhapsburgs, Europe's peripatetic aristocracy: always hunting down a throne, marrying it's own money, declaring eternal loyalty to whichever perch on which it can feather a nest>— jamie k (@jkbloodtreasure) April 9, 2021

BBC Four was going to show an England Women’s international football match tonight, but has instead cancelled all programming. The BBC will however still show the match but it’ll be hidden away as online iplayer stream and not on a traditional channel as a... show of respect?— Jim Waterson (@jimwaterson) April 9, 2021

I don't know shit about the royal family but I think it's hilarious that you all apparently hated this dude so much

Just want to let all british ilxors know that when it comes to hating the royal family, we Americans may be amateurs, but it is still a part of our birthright, just as it is a part of yours. Cheering you on to the day when "this sceptred isle" loses its scepter holders for good.

it wasn't just that he was an old bigot, it was that he weaponised racist slurs in an attempt to seem relatable and friendly, and it shows so much contempt for "common" people that he thought the best way to appear personable and likeable was to talk like this to them. It hurts my head to think about how many vile comments he made that didn't come out, and yet he continued to live a life of luxury to the age of 99. Meanwhile 127,000 people (mostly from structurally disadvantaged sections of society) have died in the past year due the pandemic, with 1000 deaths in a day becoming background noise, and this bastard is going to get eight days of official mourning. It's sickening.

That's fightin' talk. Anyway some cast list in Dr. Terror's House of Horrors: Donald Sutherland, Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, Roy Castle, Kenny Lynch, Tubby Hayes(!)

Tubby Hayes was a man of many talents.. but I didn't know he did acting as well.
― calzino, Saturday, 10 April 2021 09:54 (three years ago) link
He didn't actually have any lines, he just had to blow some sax (and flute!) and pal about with Roy Castle a bit. It's a bit like Graham Bond showing up in "That'll Be the Day", a nice bit of casting!

Donald the last man standing! He's even outlived the Pickled Prince Consort. Will he outlast the Queen herself?

Tbh I've wondered the same thing as imago before but never said anything b/c I have no idea about the show really except that it involves police and lots of people like it.
Anyway, I am avoiding monarchist-fucked TV by playing Disco Elysium, which is very cheery and not at all depressing and nothing to do with cops in any way. Ahem.

Charles is Duke of Edinburgh now but it will pass to Edward when Charles becomes king, it says here:
In keeping with the Letters Patent issued when George VI gave Philip the title in 1947, the Prince of Wales as the duke’s eldest son, inherits the title the Duke of Edinburgh, but on Charles’s eventual accession to the throne, the title will merge with the crown and can be regranted anew to Edward.

Does seem a bit of a diss to the dead one that his title is eventually going to be a castoff to the fourth kid

"Tbh I've wondered the same thing as imago before but never said anything b/c I have no idea about the show really except that it involves police and lots of people like it."
Same. Obv leftists can like a cop show and not cops bcz it's just a show. Not that hard.
That tweet was funny -- and others I've seen on cancelling an evening's programming for a whole TV channel or radio -- as it seems like there is v little patience for it rn, what with coming out of a three month lockdown and having this shit thrust upon ppl. I like it as an indication of what we are just putting up with from the establishment, and how quickly it can all tip over. Obv it won't be this that does it.
