National mourning?
 
Who decides that everybody should be sad for eight days over Prince Philip?

I'm not gleeful, but I can't say that I'm properly glum, either. How do
I get into the mood?

Why would you want to.

Dianas death left me slightly relieved, for camilla chiefly

I haven't quite shed a tear for the Duke, but I will miss the old ****.

Declaring national mourning is about recognising the fact by public
bodies. For example, it allows flags to be flown at half mast on public
buildings. Individuals are not required to recognise it.

Here was one man from a number of European families which have been
suppressing the rest of us for centuries.

Perhaps not mourning, but celebrating that there is one less snout
in the Golden Trough?

I've awarded myself a gamma -(?--) for my attempt to link your post with
Hull University's alleged policy of devaluing understanding of proper

Robert Jenrick's union flag reaches from floor to ceiling.
How does he fly it at half mast ?.

Yes and why should it affect radio playlists other than removing downright
insensitive stuff things should carry on as normal after a day or so.

Possibly a reference to Hull U's recent announcement that they are
aren't going to deduct exam marks for semi-literate candidates (unless
it's an English exam)?

Surely Hull hasn't been in the news for anything else?

Hasnt been much suppressing at all in britain for the last
couple of centuries. At most a bit of silly stuff like traffic
jams when they show up, apart from the stupid cost of them.
