Only the good ...

 Uproar in the UK

Prince Phillip passed away, at the amazing age of 99.
Somehow there seems to be good in the food, while his wife also is coming at a respectable age. And still rules.

Okay, who knows me, knows that I do not like monar4chy, for several reasons. It is a lot of money, and an entire family is limited in their freedoms, especially in the UK, it is a hard job to live with the press that controls every move you make.

Now, after his death, I see people posting horrible things about Prince Phillip. Of course he has not been an angel, but honestly, what prince was?  Or is?
They are human beings, like you and me, and they are appearantly in a situation, that they have chosen for, to stay at the side of  (here) the Queen. And someone who stays there, so many years, deserves respect! 
I am sure that all who blame him now, for 'eating up' the money what the poor ones deserve more, should not be able to offer so much of their life, for a partner that they love. 

Someone wrote this, and it made me furious

As of 2017, 20% of Britons live in poverty including 8 million working-age adults, 4 million children and 1.9 million pensioners. Research by the JRF found nearly 400,000 more British children and 300,000 more British pensioners were in poverty in 2016-17 compared with 2012–13.

And people are shitting themselves because an enormously wealthy man has died who has never worked a single day in his life and didn’t know the meaning of poverty?

Use your brains my friends! What the .......

As if he is responsible for the misheaps in the country?  Maybe those words are written in anger, but they are defitinly wrong and fully out of context. 
The policy in democratic countries is made by politicians, and they decide who gets the money. I am not sure if it is the same in the UK, but I suppose so, in many Monarchies, the Government decides about the incom of the royal family, nest to what they are allowed to do or not. 

I do love to discuss the pro and contra from monarchy, but I find it disgusting, to put the anger over a man, who had such a complicated life, as the Duke of Edinburgh had.
So far my ranting.  Have a great weekend!
