[Closed] Prince Phillip- Priceless

Uk is a society of priveldge.

Royalty, House of Lords....

Can't wait for the day when it all ends.

hardly anyone cares about them anymore, yet the media still continue to keep them in the limelight.

Just ignore them I say.

He's a stupid old duffer who has continually shown his distain and ignorance of others, bad manners is his speciality.

I bet you can guess that I am no fan of the royalty, and it will be a good day when they don't have any state funded housing etc.

No really. I mean this non story didn't even make the news! 😉

Sometimes, I reckon I would have had a hell of a lot of fun during the French Revolution. Would have loved to have been there, witnessing it all kicking off.

Making the news....

It's the media promoting them as some sort of "god like" hero worship.

None of the media will come out and say what a rude chap he is, and all the other family issues.

To be honest, I don't care what they get up to.

What I do care about is that the nation is funding them, and has been for what seems like forever.

The sooner they are out of the funded housing and state benefits the better.

I'm not a fan, but, you might have guessed that by now.

Must say, it does make for great footage - can you imagine if it was a politician, they probably would have been forced to resign by now.....

I don't know what you do for a living, but I'm guessing to don't have to deal with many public functions. Good God, they're difficult and tiring. Especially if you're an introvert, and under constant public scrutiny.

If he doesn't like it he can jack it in any day. I'm sure he could find a council flat somewhere.

Great idea. Any more than one bedroom and he'll have his money docked.

Just ignore them I say.

You just clicked on a thread with the title "Prince Phillip - Priceless", I don't call that ignoring them.

How do you go about ignoring them ?

Aye, but that's the thing... Say what you like about the royals but the old crop at least believed that their privilege brought with it responsibility. You get to be the queen, and in return, you have to be the queen. So they don't get to 65 and think "ah well, that's the queening done, I'll just sit on my arse", they do it til they drop dead

I'd rather be without them personally but it's not all one way.

I genuinely didn't know that the daft old duffer had done anything until I saw this thread.

Had a look on the BBC website and had to chuckle, nobody seemed to have the balls to tell him that he shouldn't behave like that.

It's the media really, TV and newspapers that keep promoting them, they are a relic of the past in my opinion.

Probably take another 50 years for them to sort of disappear into some form of obscurity ( hopefully).

I just don't like the society of privilege really, wealth and power influencing the country.

They can on occasion boil my p*** , but I suppose that's my problem, I really should let them get on with it in their state funded accommodation and welfare handouts.

+1 😀

He's a daft old tosspot. Not necessarily a bad thing, though. I'm quite looking forward to my dotage (if I get there), and generally I intend to act like a daft old tosspot without a care in the world.

The world is too serious a place sometimes.

So you clicked on a thread which was very clearly about Prince Philip, you were intrigued to know what he had been up to so you decided to do a google search.

Which gets back to my point.......I don't call that ignoring them.

And my question - how do you go about ignoring the Royal Family ?

I'm usually more restrained, and tend to not let the media affect me in their reporting of all things in the wonderful world of our royal family.

In this instance I have been drawn.

I think I'll return to the ostrich mode, now that a large glass of Jura Superstition single malt has been consumed.

My p*** has been returned to its normal temperature
