Prince Philip

Must we? Really? I know. I feel the same way. I’m not saddened by his death, or triumphant, or defiant. I just don’t want to know. It feels like a distant soap opera, much less entertaining than The Crown, which has nothing to do with what’s actually going on. I can ignore Eastenders and Coronation Street. But just now, I can’t open a paper 9any paper) or watch the news, without being drowned in royalspeak. I’m not in a hurry to declare a republic, but I really would like our time and attention to be directed towards stuff that actually has direct impact on the way most people live their lives. Nothing to be done but shut up, lie low, and wait for it to pass.
