Prince Philip like you've never seen him before!

He looked like some kind of Aryan cyborg at his wedding.

He killed his mother, so Harry killed him. An eye for an eye.

This is so much better than when the other Prince died.

Tbf since he's been dead for months we have seen him like this before

It was Prince Philip who said if he were to die he would want to come back as a deadly virus because there are too many people in the world. This is why we believe he died at least 15 months ago. pic.twitter.com/vgFB25MMZn

Omg BBC news just managed to defend Prince Philips ‘slotted eyed Chinese’ comment ffs 🤦‍♂️

I will always remember where I was when Prince Philip died as it was the precise moment I had a drain inserted to removed abscess fluid.

RIP Big Man, heaven needed another creppy racist zombie

you misspelled “hades”

Herself was just talking to me about how it could be a major boost for tourism if they manage restoration and visitors properly and was rabbiting away for a good thirty seconds in this vein before i clicked she was talking about the discovery at luxor and not the waxen cadaver of a lanky racist

The interview killed him

Brian Kilmeade connects the death of 99-year-old Prince Philip to Meghan Markle & Prince Harry's Oprah interview: "If you factor in this, there are reports that he was enraged after the interview ... Here he is trying to recover, and then he gets hit with that." pic.twitter.com/tevB9ijMeH

Horrible day for our majesty. Losing her husband and cousin in one go.

my mum absolutely raging that according to the sky planner the BBC have replaced the entire rest of the days TV schedule to show Philip tributes and cancelled the final Masterchef which was supposed to be on tonight. seldom heard her so angry.

it's ok we can still see vanilla ice and chris isaak on bbc4 totp (according to iplayer tv guide).

Hopefully Talking Pictures TV will play a Sunday Night At The London Palladium as well and thus my weekend TV routine will not be affected.

ffs BBC1, BBC2 and ITV have ditched their entire schedules for the death of this old ghoul. Good job I never watch any of those channels.

I wish I hadn't read the phrase "Nicholas Witchell is having a cry-wank".

London Live has:

19:00 Prince Philip: An Extraordinary Life
20:00 My Greek Odyssey
21:00 Queens

I don't think the latter two have anything to do with Phil though.

imagine if this had happened during the Euros

during England v Scotland

The Queen's no spring chicken herself.

I'd put her on at half time anyway

Where are Germany playing exactly?

Sad that the queen’s eldest died. Tragic to lose a child.

Les Dennis has taken up this bit now that Limmy's retired it

I met Prince Philip in the 90’s when I presented some young people with their Duke of Edinburgh awards at St James’s Palace. He was charming and charismatic. Such a sad time for the Queen and her family. RIP.

— Les Dennis (@LesDennis) April 9, 2021

When Prince Edward dies they may as well not bother announcing it.

Some people say: well who watches live tv these days in the age of streaming etc. Those that haven't got a broadband connection will just switch it off if it is only playing shite!

See if they could hold on for another three days they'll be doing the funeral on the Queen's 95th birthday, not that much of a gift I suppose. Or...is it?

it's not like people were going out to the pub on Friday night either

Despite the DoE's many achievements in a long life of service, some will remember him as a man who was often blunt, sometimes to the point of giving offence.

Although that list doesn't include my 'favourite', that time he said to a journalist "Get lost or I'll have you shot".

Calling it now- when t'queen dies all the big streaming services will be pulled in the UK

apologies for the self-indulgence but I made a twitter thread about that and I'll link to it rather than write it out again

In late April 2010 I was staying with my wife and her family in a town outside Beijing when there was an earthquake in Qinghai in which nearly 3000 people died.https://t.co/GCTP7vChkc

physical media 4ever

I drove past the UK Embassy in DC yesterday. Out front there was a table under a tent, with maybe three dozen bouquets left in remembrance.

By comparison, when Diana died I remember seeing a bank of flowers the size of a stretch limo.

Don't know why I'm surprised they've rolled Prince Andrew out for some quotes, maybe this is the start of a "public healing process" for him.

Funny you should say that but I noticed the news coverage on the day of the contained an unusually large amount of footage of Andrew.

Hello Arun, we have grey-scaled our website as a mark of respect for Prince Phillip who has sadly passed away today. Twitter have also done this too for the same reason.

Had a bissful weekend not knowing about that.

hah! the bbc had to shut down the online complaints form after it possibly became overloaded with a so far undisclosed number of complaints. Well done for presuming the national mood and losing two thirds of your audience you fuckwits.

Did they have any choice though?

Think there are a particular set of draconian rules they have to follow post senior royal death - all presenters must wear black, programming changes etc

oh I know they are just following protocol, but now they have had a lesson that the protocol belongs to another age.

They're closing in on near-double their previous record for complaints, Jerry Springer the Opera

The BBC's own article has one of those limp dick "analysis" boxes where one of their guys is all like, ah, but how many more people would have complained if we HADN'T kissed the dead pigshit-thick nazi's arse for a whole day?? ¯\(°_o)/¯

is it grenade proof

now there's a man of the people who didn't want a fuss made

That car is incredibly hilarious

itt people who seem to have figured out how to die

that will burnish his "legend of bantz" rep with the countryside alliance/the dalesman/country living/fox-hunting classes, quite calculatedly tedious tbh.. what a *character*.. what a maverick etc vomit

Needs an elephant gun on the back and some natives lined up so he can mow them down from beyond the grave

I can't fathom why it took 16 years to design what looks like a lightly modified Land Rover

would be perfect if his coffin busted out of his incompetently modified vehicle at the top of a large hill smashed open and his adorable little corpse rolled all the way down

hills on which you're willing to etc

classic british media: posh scumbag's confident ideological bigotry, empowered by a lifelong immunity from consequence of any kind, is actually some kind of brave iconoclasm, characterised by a willingness to go for the gag (which is simultaneously funny and risky and harmless and apolitical) despite the opprobrium of the PC police or whatever. exact same shit that makes boris a thing

"off-the-cuff remarks" - fucking virulent and unabashed racism. JFC. I'd honestly rather they didn't even mention it in their bootlicking obits than try to justify it.

(Obviously it would be better if someone actually called it what it was, but that seems unlikely to happen)

you know a journo/editor is feeling really brave if you get the word in scare quotes, attributed to others

It’s disgusting, can you imagine what would have happened to the person who would have responded ‘that’s a horrible, racist thing to say to someone else, especially a stranger.’
