There is a difference between people saying unkind things and poking fun at other people’s overreactions to the news.

Ah like suggesting you leave the cooker on at masterchef for Philip ?

Which was suggested earlier .

Not sure that's poking fun at anybodys reaction

Fair maybe on that one, but equally is it not a little OTT to cancel your entire broadcasting schedule because of this, especially when you already run a 24 hour news channel designed specifically for this purpose?

A complicated man. One of the the people who started the WWF then went on a Tiger shoot.

Fought in the North Atlantic and the Med heroically yet was hated by the British press because he was considered an outsider (some things never change, ask Harry & Megan) and the described him as a a Nazi sympathiser because his estranged sisters married into the Nazis.

Couldn’t care either way when it comes to the royal family but it’s always sad when someone dies so some respect should be shown to him personally and his memory.

Some of them are actually pretty funny to be fair to him. Decent wit.

It's sad times that people are so precious. The angry sort have no humour.

I'm sure alot of people that moan about this kind of stuff day in day out are deeply flawed individuals themselves ... you won't know that ofcourse because on social media you're a pure ,unknown entity with an immaculate past 😅

That's why nobody takes them overly serious

You still banging on about that made up story to try and mask your xenophobia? 😂 Unsurprising that you feel empathy towards him with your shared views.

Anyway, this isn't the thread for that shit.

I wonder if they've had this planned for ages or just cobbled it together quickly (probably the former) but Absolute Radio are just playing sad songs. Bit weird.

Some of the tracks played this afternoon include:


Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Someone Like You - Adele
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Time Of Your Life - Green Day

He won't be getting a state funeral, according to one media outlet on social media ...

I guess with all that's going on , it makes sense

Been saying all day on LBC he didn’t want a fuss when he died, didn’t wish for the state funeral he was entitled to.
