Britainology 10: Princess Diana (RIP)
Added 2021-02-25 00:00:00 +0000 UTCIt's time once again for Britainology, and this week Milo and Nate are joined by Phoebe Roy (who you have have heard on Masters of Our Domain and 10,000 Posts) to discuss British 9/11. Do we mean 7/7? The 2011 riots? No, we mean the death of the Queen of Our Hearts, Princess Diana Spencer, in August 1997. Never has a nation freaked out more, and we provide the key to understanding it all.

51:04, the effect you're describing is Obamification. Looking good, but also looking a lot older than your actual age

2023-02-13 13:39:38 +0000 UTCThe hysteria you described reminds event I witnessed in Poland. As a teenager in 2005 I've been baffled to see teacher (a ~30yo woman) with tears smudging her makeup the day after news of John Paul II death arrived. Conservatives used his death to push country even more to the right calling us a "generation jp2". The event was so impactful even now, everyday, at the hour of his death (21:37) generation jp2 shares pope memes on local equivalent of reddit/digg https://www.wykop.pl/tag/2137/
