@francesleach_ Is that when Corbyn failed to defeat May after she ran maybe the worst election campaign in living memory? Oh we still remember.

@TheMendozaWoman He's 9 years old.

@elmathud0071 I cant believe you didn't try and vote the Tories out in the early 90s, absolutely appalling behaviour on your part.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@elmathud0071 So in 30 odd years of being eligible to vote you have only voted in 2 general elections? Thanks for your contribution to democracy!

@novaramedia Any idea what they cost? I guess it's less than £500m which would imply they are net earners?

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@RivkahBrown @novaramedia Sounds like he was very politically motivated and knew exactly what he was doing, he gets into an argument with a 13 year old, which in his own words leaves her very upset. Suspension while under investigation seems reasonable.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@helenmallam You are starting to sound deranged.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@bencsmoke Lol, you're absolutely fuming that so many people have turned up.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@LauraPidcock I would have thought respecting the dead and the impact it had on those that loved them is universal, across everyone in society.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@Kitsilano65 @mattlodder Exactly right.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@mattlodder I dont know how old you are but I presume you were here for; Diana's funeral, Prince Philip, the Queen mum... the gold, diamond, platinum Jubilee, all the weddings, the countless trooping of the colour. What part of this dont you recognise? It's been part of our lives forever.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@evolvepolitics Is the whole world really laughing at us now?

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@novaramedia Monarchy far more popular than I realised.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@evolvepolitics People losing their shit that less than 48 hours of her death the tv is STILL banging on about the death of the longest serving British monarch in a thousand year.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@michaeljswalker The large crowds turning up to see Kate, Harry, William and Megan rather undermines your point.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@OwenJones84 And both had very different personalities which may have impacted on how people mourned. Diana was very tactile, emotionally outgoing, the Queen very reserved. People show their respect accordingly. Again to draw any conclusions from this is very blunt to say the least.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@OwenJones84 How can you possibly try and compare the reaction to the sudden and tragic death of a young lady to someone who has lived a full life, and whose death we have had a chance to mentality prepare for? You are comparing apples with oranges. And ignoring empirical evidence to boot.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@OwenJones84 As a historian, If you really wanted to know about changing public attitudes you would look at opinion polls, rather than comparing two completely different events.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@michaeljswalker Bargain Hunt gets cancelled for one day and you lose your shit. If you don't like it just turn over, it will be back to normal on Monday.

[Mikephillips75 @Mikephillips751]

@OwenJones84 No, it's about cheap point scoring on your behalf. Why can you just let people have their moment. It's no skin off your nose.
