Saying it's the British Broadcasting Corporation as a justification for that level of sycophantic nationalism we would mock the North Koreans for is no justification at all.

Exactamundo. And where was the BBC during Brexit?
Siding with the wretched EU!

One thing that was missing from Prince Philip's utterings was any remark about the EU.

The BBC was also critiscised for creating a special easy way to complain about this, so took down the link.

I suspect that they are pleased that there were so many complaints as it gives them a way to act more appropriately in the future without upsetting MP's as it would be 'the will of the people'.

The BBC are as far up themselves as the EU. They interpret their 'learnings' into better means of getting away with the same arrogance next time. The MPs will have noticed.

As regards the Queen Mother, the BBC got it right as I recall. Anyway, she was a wartime star providing support to the suffering people.
