"He'll miss the concert." Yep probably done it on purpose... | |||
| |||
"He'll miss the concert." feigning illness so he don't have to listen to Macca and Cliff... can't say as I blame him! | |||
| |||
"It must be serious. For a bladder infection its normally just antibiotics. He's my favourite royal I hope he gets better soon." He's 90 and has been on his feet for hours every day for the last few weeks. Bladder infection might be what they are saying so that he can have a rest. | |||

"Greek? He's from the same German family as the woman he married. " He was formerly known as Prince Phillip of Greece. He was born on Corfu which, I assume, would give him Greek nationality irregardless of his lineage. | |||
| |||
"True. But the Greeks imported the same German dynasty that Britain and other European countries imported because they met the establishment criteria for a head of state, e.g. no Catholics. It's why for example, the Windsors, the private family, celebrate Christmas with German traditions, before they go to work and are seen celebrating it the British way." Oh yeah, they are largely related I looked into this other day as my colleague asked what relation the Queen was to Queen Victoria and was surprised just how 'linked' most European royals are | |||

"Regardless of his social standing this is a 90 yr old man with a wife and family that love him Dealing with an infection at such a great age can be devastating I wish him well" | |||

"all the best to him. ps.. I would feel the same towards anyone taken into hospital whether they be rich poor, old young, famous or not... wishing someone well costs us nothing." | |||
"Greek? He's from the same German family as the woman he married. " Isn't he half German and half Danish by blood? | |||

"all the best to him. ps.. I would feel the same towards anyone taken into hospital whether they be rich poor, old young, famous or not... wishing someone well costs us nothing." well said xxxx | |||

"Another nasty attitude on this site! Have you posted on the Margaret Thatcher thread yet? Right up your street!" I'm sorry you feel that way. We happen to question things in terms of real events in the world instead of being controlled and herded without a mind of our own. Happy that those we supposedly elect in power or are born into it give a flying fuck about us. And if you believe Thatcher was for the people then you really are sun/corra sheep. Wake up there's a real world out there. | |||
"Can think of an awful lot of people I feel sorrier for than this freeloading, obnoxious, misogynistic parasite" How does he demonstrate misogyny ? Walking behind his wife ? Seriously .......how ? | |||

"I am praying your wrong wolf." Well, it would be a shitty thing to have happened, but if you don't see him today, I think the next time you do, it'll be atop a gun carriage, followed by Prince Charles on foot. Today's the important day as far as the ceremonial and constitutional aspect of the Jubilee is concerned, the parties and concerts are all sideshow bollocks to the Queen and family. The REAL celebration is when she goes 2 miles from home to St Paul's for the service. Yet, she's going to be with Charles and Camilla all the way, and through the service. If Phillip is too ill to be spirited in through the back door, to sit quietly by his wife, closely yet discretely shadowed by the best medical staff in the world, an IV drug pack in his breast pocket, for the duration of the service before being shuttled back to hospital...well, I'd say he's got more than a bladder infection. If he IS alive, the only way you can tell is that the machine is bleeping. David Cameron is in his office right now, head in hands, trying to work out if the UK can afford another day off. We could perhaps enjoy the spectacle of the public hanging of the twat who had elderly members of the Royal Family standing in the freezing cold and rain for hours and hours watching a pitiful parade of flotsam and jetsam drift past on Sunday. You wouldn't make your 90 year old grandparents do that, why are the royals any different, FFS, they are only human, and easily killed off. Time will tell, but get to William Hill now if you are the gambling type. God Save The Queen. | |||
"He's dead. The Queen turned up for the concert in a natty black cloak, an hour and a half late. She's not the kind of woman to piss on the celebrations the country has stumped up for, especially in these times of austerity, so has ordered that NO word is to get out, upon pain of seriously pissing her off (and the usual moles in the Govt are kept in the dark too). Come Saturday, expect to see the announcement that "complications" have taken the Prince. RIP Phil. " He is dead - Dead Glad he's not still out in the pissing rain listening to Macca..... | |||

"Yes I do and Gordon Brown said a similar thing. Under normal circumstances i'd/we'd be equally sympathetic and forthcoming with our well wishes. Do you know much about the masons ? Those lower regions amongst membership are perhaps right to still have faith in all the good they do. They are very very disturbed. Problem is too many people are too wrapped up in reading tabloids and watching shit on tv to comment on things they know nothing about but still give it the patriot bs ... If you checked your history starting with the knights of Malta and Templar it may open your eyes a little. It starts to scratch the surface a little." i read the Da Vinci Code....the Knights of Templar are in that....does that count | |||
"all the best to him. ps.. I would feel the same towards anyone taken into hospital whether they be rich poor, old young, famous or not... wishing someone well costs us nothing." Indeed. | |||

"The highest ranking freemason. Don't trust secret societies. Particularly the duke having declared his hope in wishing if he's to be reincarnated to come back as a deadly virus and wipe out two thirds of the planet. Wanker. " Freemasonry isn't a secret, and it is doesn't have dark ritual undercurrents either. If you doubt me, join it and see for yourself. Joining is no big secret either - just ask someone you know to be a member to invite you. As for the quote you have attributed to the Duke - best laugh I've had in ages, pure comedy. Thanks. | |||

"There is so much vitriol on this and the Thatcher threads. I was truly shocked to read them this morning and realise that some people would really do such harm to the elderly given the opportunity. It has given me one absolute though - and that is that I now know I'll never vote Labour again as I simply cannot identify with a section of society would wish so much misfortune, pain and bad karma on an old man and an old woman. Shame on you." | |||

"I find it amusing when people denounce the Duke of Edinburgh simply as 'Phil the Greek' like he's some sort of vagabond the Queen picked up on a Shirley Valentine holiday in 1947. The Duke has more right to sit beside the Queen than practically anyone else alive. For example: ~ he is in the line of succession to 16 countries ~ he is the oldest living great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria ~ he is a direct third cousin to the Queen - who is herself a great-great-grandchild of Victoria ~ he barely speaks Greek and identifies himself more with his Danish roots than any Greek lineage ~ nearly every monarch in Europe today is descended from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, King Christian IX of Denmark, or both. ~ I'd say his blood is as Royal as the woman he married. And he hasn't messed her around in all those years, instead remaining steadfastly at her side giving her the rock of support she's needed to be monarch for 6 decades - a role she was never born to." that is not quiet true....in terms of him not messing about....lets say in the 50s and 60s he wasn't an angel | |||

I agree with you, Wishy, totally and utterly on the moral issues associated with having no respect for an elderly lady (both, the poor woman who was beaten up and subsequently died and the former PM, Margaret Thatcher, to whom some people wish bad Karma to say the least!) I do not agree with you on the issue that people's morality and code of conduct in society is determined by their policitcal _iew. I have met many clever, empathic, genuine, sincere people from all walks of life and across the different political parties and would never draw the straight conclusion that just because somebody happens to favour the Conservatives they dont deserve my respect. Equally just because somebody has Labour _iews - this does not make them better people. | |||

"even a 'get well soon' thread ends up political " i was thinking that! | |||
"even a 'get well soon' thread ends up political " And it really need not be that way - a "get well" message is about empathy and humanity irrespective of the political background. | |||
"she does look a bit distracted in Church today " Is Phil not there then? I don't have strong feelings on the Royal family one way or another, but I feel really sad right now and sincerely hope he is OK. I can't think of anything sadder, than a woman losing the man she loves and having to pretend everything is ok. Wishy, I know people who call him 'Phil the Greek' and they always said it in an endearing kinda way, sometimes using nicknames gives a person a sense of familiarity... I don't thnk 'everyone' uses it in a derogatory way. He reminds me of my dad, he used to say the most outragious things and he was about the same age but I know he was a sweetheart | |||

Wishy , i do not know if you choose to take people literally being tactical, or you do not understand the concepts of metaphore and analogy linking two quite different posts and trying to dress it as a Blue or Red political divide,has made me realise you never miss an opportunity to trot out the blue propaganda whenever you can. Accusing anyone with a differing _iewpoint to you as some sort of political subversive or traitor to the country is so simplistic. Taking the nihilistic action of disassociating yourself from people on here with a differing political stance,no matter how extreme they manifest those _iewpoints ,is amusing I say that given the quite extreme _iews you have held against others in the past ..ie ,single parents ,public service employees , in fact anyone who got anything from the state. Maybe people in glass houses should not throw stones,and allow people with differing _iews to you to express them,metaphorically or literally Your attempt to dress this as "Blue is good ,Red is bad" sounds like the chant from Orwells animal farm ,it is clear you did not read all of the comments on the threads,as you would realise where your premise fails.Not everyone wished the old duck bad ,not everyone was a labour party card carrying member . | |||

" I understand the metaphors, and I understand that the only way some people can express their loathing is to do with with venom and murderous intent. I also understand that 99.9% of it nothing but bluster, and faced with a real opportunity to carry out their threats they'd all fade back into the shadows mumbling, "Wasn't me, I never said I'd do it!" But it always seems to come from Labour supporters, or derivatives thereof. The hardline fascists who gather under the Red Flag represent only a small minority of the Labour movement, but that's enough of a percentage to persaude me that to vote Labour is to potentially put in place a government that could, under the right circumstances, turn on it's own people. Socialism is only a stone's throw away from Communism and extreme-Left indoctrination where citizens can be persuaded to turn on their own families. It happened before under Nazism. I believe in the free-market and would even go as far as to say that Negative Income Tax under a neoliberalist government could well be the best of a bad bunch of populace control mechanisms. That's why Pinochet and Thatcher were such good friends - they shared the same ideology. | |||

I read this thread and the Iron Lady thread with a mounting sense of dismay at the lack of basic humanity shown by some and I wonder if any of those that have wished ill on two elderly people who have served their countries to the best of their abilities would put their hands up and say they're tory voters?????

"Setting politics and patriotism aside, does anyone have any news on how Prince Philip is doing? " "The Duke of Edinburgh has spent his first night in hospital with a bladder infection, missing the final day of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Prince Philip, 90, was taken to the King Edward VII Hospital in London from Windsor Castle as a "precautionary measure," Buckingham Palace said. He will remain in hospital under observation for a few days." BBC News. | |||

"isnt this his 2nd infection in the last couple of months? really hope it isnt the begninning of the end for the old blighter. i love him doing public engagemtents. reminds of a shock jockey, as you never know what he will say that will be taken wrongly in the PC world we live in today. last of a generation that didnt give a fuck and says what he thinks, before stopping himself!" totally agree ,i love his comments often totally non PC ,but you have to forgive him as that is the generation he grew up in ,it was a different world where the concept of "suffering" was a lot harder than it is today.

I've been doing a lot of reading up on him these past few days. He gave up all his foreign titles and his Greek citizenship to marry Her Maj. When his family were forced to flee Greece after the coup they lived in France for a while in a house borrowed from a distant cousin before coming to England and schooling at Cheam. He moved around quite a bit in his formative years. | |||
