This virtue signalling is getting bloody ridiculous now.

They didn't jump the queue, they were their to present their show. They didn't view the Lying in State.

aren't there acres of photos of them doing exactly that?Confused

Or have you not included a sarcasm emoji?

Rockbird · 19/09/2022 20:33

What a load of old toffee. I don't care if they did or didn't queue jump. They didn't murder anyone so they shouldn't lose their jobs. Whether it's time to replace them is a different matter, I don't watch it so I don't care about that either.

This is an excuse to get rid of him, surely. He is such a knob head, he really is appalling. I think the UK has just seen it's chance to get rid haha

I think this too.
There have been those allegations with him and a young boy (I’m not sure of the ins and outs), I think people dislike him and are using any excuse

Imissmoominmama · 19/09/2022 20:35

I highly doubt they made the decision to go themselves; it will have been the producer who arranged it.

I don’t actually watch it, so I couldn’t care less, but it seems a bit over the top.

I loved that quote that people were pissed off with rich, famous people wanting special treatment 😂. Oh, the irony.

Adam hills?
Here it is again. Grin
People are really angry about that one," Adam said. "There's apparently a sub-set of people out there who adore the royal family but don't like it when rich, privileged people get special treatment."

Cross post!!! (Actually didn't notice this before I posted my post!!!)

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 19/09/2022 20:51

I am not a fan of Smug and Squeak and wouldn't care if they were replaced. But for THIS reason... ? Nah, it seems daft.

This has become a witch-hunt now hasn't it?

People (online - and on social media and message forums especially) do LOVE to create a panto villain or two. Must be getting bored with JK Rowling ignoring them. Grin So they're gunning for Phil and Holly!

Womencanlift · 19/09/2022 20:53

I think a lot of people are sick of them especially as more stories come out about what they are like behind the scenes and how they treat people

This is being used as the trigger to finally get rid of them rightly or wrongly but unfortunately I think they are untouchable for some unknown reason

Prescottdanni123 · 19/09/2022 20:53

Whoever started this petition is being ridiculous. They skipped the queue for work reasons, and even if this hadn't been the case, it still isn't worth starting a petition about it. It is a non issue compared to some of the other injustices that go on in the world.

Idlechitchat · 19/09/2022 20:56

Definitely wouldn’t sign a petition, how ridiculous!

fdkc · 19/09/2022 20:58

I'd love to see the back of them but not for this.

I can't stand Phil, every since that vomit inducing episode of him 'coming out' 🤮🤮

LovingTheseAutumnSnippets · 19/09/2022 21:00

Where can I sign the petition?

MyLovelyPen · 19/09/2022 21:02

@Darkness22 very good point 😂

LizzieSiddal · 19/09/2022 21:02

The “excuse” that they were filming a show but is ridiculous. Why did they need to be near the coffin? There’s plenty of footage of the Queen lying in state, they didn’t need those two to be poking their heads in the shot with the coffin.
Any other decent broadcasters would have refused to do it.

DeclansAFeckingDream · 19/09/2022 21:05

No, it's ridiculous, but I think that lots of people are just sick of the two of them and their 'hilarious' corpsing every other programme. I switch off if they're on.

CoffeeThisInstant · 19/09/2022 21:05

Far more important things to get in a froth about.

IReallyLikeCrows · 19/09/2022 21:09

I won't be signing the petition because 1. I don't watch the show, and 2. life's too short but the "excuse" was ridiculous and makes them look even more ridiculous than they did in the first place.

I think that a lot of people couldn't care less about the queue but just want rid of him because he's an odious little shit. I don't know anything about Holly other than apparently we all want to dress like her or something. I'm sure the world could do without the pair of them but maybe they're some people's special friends who make life worth living. Or something.

Windinthepillows · 19/09/2022 21:12

Ridiculous.

Bestcatmum · 19/09/2022 21:15

Its hysterical and ridiculous, I hear David |Beckham is to be made a saint by the church of england for queuing all night.😅

MelodyPondsMum · 19/09/2022 21:23

I don't like them but no I wouldn't sign the petition. Livelihoods shouldn't be lost because of manufactured social media outrage.

Icecreamandapplepie · 19/09/2022 21:24

Smug and squeak 😂

Lill7778 · 19/09/2022 21:25

I imagine a certain young toy boy runner who got sacked used to work for Philip on this morning has signed it.

I cant stand the exploitative twerp and don't care what he's sacked for, so long as he's sacked.

Firemansamagain · 19/09/2022 21:34

Where does it say this?

I think it’s not just about this, so many complaints about them all the time, people just don’t want them on the show, they ask for Ruth, Rylan, Alison etc. It’s been like this for ages and apparently the figures show it, they have some dirt on itv producers/bosses…or something, after all Philip has done and reports of them both being rude and mean, they surely would’ve gone a long time ago.

I’d sign it.
