You going to have to explain it, just to be sure.
Was thinking that when it broke.
Probably expecting a relatively quiet shift and then you're broadcasting this news to millions.
I presume they've got a ton of pre-records lined up.
Sounds like a you problem tbhOh no.
Anyway.
Not like I'm going to feel bad that some old guy got to live 99 years in luxury for most if not all of those.
Very sad news. I hope Elizabeth is okay. To be married to someone for so long and then to have them gone must be devastating.
I'd say making fun of a virulent racist just for his age is pretty mild actually.Maybe all the memes will now finally stop. Always were a bit distasteful. But I don't really know much of him and whether they were justified to begin with, I suppose

Is it a hot take that he was a racist piece of shitThanks for posting something like this. I'm not going to read anymore of this thread as it'll be full of hot takes from people who knew nothing about his life.
I look forward to the endless programmes on BBC 1,2 4, ITV and channel 5 about him and his what I expect they'll at best, refer to as a 'complicated legacy'
Meanwhile on the Telegraph/Daily Mail
HARRY AND MEGHAN USE AN AIRPLANE TO RETURN TO UK FOR FUNERAL YET THEY CLAIM TO CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT?
doubt it
Nope. But it'll be a great two weeks or so for the Govt. to bury a shit-ton of bad news and dodgy procurements.
"Comment - Meghan should not have returned to the UK, we don't want her here showboating during a time of national grieving."MEANWHILE KATE WEARS A BLUE HAT, SYMBOLISING REMEMBRANCE AND SOLIDARITY TO ALL OF MANKIND.
Nearly 100. He had seen a lot of change in the UK, and the world in general, in those years.
Yeah, without sounding morbid, I don't know what the normal protocol is for broadcasters and stuff for something like this.
I remember reading something about what happens when the Queen dies (a lot), but this is obviously slightly different.
Gonna be insufferable with the amount of royal bullshit we will get now.
Let's all feel sorry for someone who got to live the life of luxury and hoard wealth all while helping to keep others impoverished due to interference in legal policies.
There's no requirement and it's probably unlikely. With everyone in lockdown still they probably want to keep people in work if only to reduce the numbers paying respects on the day in London.
Absolutely unquestionably. He's equivalent to the Queen in most matters of royal protocol about his death, such as public mourning periods etc.
The Queen is an unforgivable racist and is reigning over the breakup of the empire as a direct result. She will go down in infamy.
I have no sympathy for her.
