not really, i think it's because most people that die i've never heard of
and if i were to mourn in an egalitarian way i'd be full time hand wringing. phil the greek has been a constant through pretty much everyones lives and we kind to have got to know the daft old bigot more than say i dunno erm the old boy down the road who drove a nissan note and passed away from the covids a few months ago who i only ever saw backing out of his driveway and once in the supermarket. not that i am grieving over phil the greek but i think i knew him better than burt down the road and that's why there is probably a big old hoo har in the media. plus it is hardly a bolt from the blue so all the royal correspondents and editors and whaknot have had plenty of time to come up with loads of footage and stuff and the military will have a fine tuned plan and then there's all the regiments and charities and causes that he was patron of they will need to be able to give thanks and respects and whatknot. plus it's out of respect for hm the queen who will have to take her own bins out now and clean up all the corgi s**t. hope she took out insurance.
