Come on guys - let’s show a little restraint
EDIT: Phil’s right, not worth wasting my breath.Calm down! Get over yourself. A polite version of what I would say to your face.
Your lack of respect to the Queen was my main objection.

I wondered also, and wondered why all BBC radio channels had cancelled normal programming and were broadcasting common and the same reports - I could easily have been a little irked - then I paused and understood. Respect for Her Majesty.Is there a rationale behind the BBC playing the same programme on both its main channels? If they have enough coverage, information, stories and interviews to need simultaneous broadcast of two different streams of information, then that is fine. However, playing the same programming over two channels is just halving your output. I’m not sure what they are trying to achieve.
But the tv channels aren’t all showing the same thing ‘out of respect’ see my comment re BBC4.I wondered also, and wondered why all BBC radio channels had cancelled normal programming and were broadcasting common and the same reports - I could easily have been a little irked - then I paused and understood.

As I said. I could easily have felt a bit irked by it all - but with a moments thought and reflection I understood that I should just put such feelings aside - just for the time being - and give thanks for what he achieved and encouraged others to achieve - despite his quirks - and for his support to Her Maj through her life of service to the country.But the tv channels aren’t all showing the same thing ‘out of respect’ see my comment re BBC4.
If anything, just showing the logo of a football match that is being played with the noise of an encouraging crowd could be seen as a mark of disrespect.
You could always trun to Channel Four and watch Gogglebox as THEY watch the BBC's coverage of the death of Prince Philip.Shame they don’t have enough different content to fill both main channels.
I only know of him for the last 20ish years, and therefore until watching the program yesterday I wasn’t aware of all the bits before he became the oddball on the queens side.Watched the thing on BBC1 last night 9 till 10. Really interesting. Reinforced what I heard on the radio yesterday. What a fascinating life. What an individual.
Like I said, I'm absolutely not a royalist, but the man certainly made a difference that most of us might be proud of.
Sad that a handful of fairly harmless gaffs in over 7 decades of public service are what so many choose to focus on. I'm more than happy to raise a glass to him.

Not at all - just found it quite pathetic two grown men bickering on a thread to show respect to someone passing away
