Not any more. Thread tidied up and all crap deleted, plus some bans too.

Way beyond acceptable some of the utter shameful drivel that's been posted.

Well said Kinky.

Must admit I have some sympathy for Okgo and Pete. The RIP stuff for a minor celeb baffles me. Ppl live, ppl die, but Im afraid the only ones that really register on my radar are those in my immediate circle. But I freely accept I have the social empathy of the Black Death.

[slimtater]

Looks like my post was in the cull as it quoted one of the not so pleasant posts, so I will re-post RIP PG

Thanks for tidy up kinky

There is a strange irony in the amount of news this event will generate in relation to the coverage given to the thousands of African children still dying each week through disease and malnutrition, a cause that Bob has done wonders to champion and generate as much news awareness as possible....

Indeed. Says alot about the state of the nation and the media.

Takes the heat off that cabinet minister for a bit though

I agree with the latter part though of course it is terrible for the families involved.

The difference is I don't contribute to the threads and I don't go on them solely to post tasteless jokes when the body is quite literally not yet cold.

My goodness.

All the low life's with no manners & no respect are in this thread tonight!

Yes it actually made me regret starting the thread.

Thanks to kinky for the work in clearing it up.

Ran into her when she was flirting with going to uni. Other than that no connection.

My own daughter is almost the same age. She hasn't gone short of hugs and being told we love her ever. Even when it's those troubled times that mean as a parent you find it hard to like your own child. She will get an extra big hug next time we see her.

One feels for the family and especially the kids.

... lots of stuff ...

Nicely said and put.

Awful news. I did not know her at all but only relate to it via my 4 daughters being between 24 and 29. I could not possibly imagine losing any of them, or how my grandchildren would be affected by not having their doting mum around.

Absolutely gut wrenchingly sad, and my heart goes out to all those close to her.

Sad situation for the family, and it is a family matter. The media should perhaps moderate their coverage.

It was a sad situation for Brenda Ann Spencer's family too, Geldof didn't let their objections get in the way of his need to make his commentary heard.

In truth, very little has ever got in the way of Bob making his commentary heard, has it?

Clearly not, and appropriate action taken.

[NoNeed]

So sad, so young, so beautiful, who cares if her dad's a bit of a knob there are other family members that wont just be a bit sad like us, they will be devastated.

I don't think anyone really gets over the loss of a parent while a child. Also don't underestimate PND and how it can bring even a normally happy mother to suicide.
Poor lass, poor family.

[R1gtr]

Poor lass must have been fighting some demons, if it was indeed suicide the last Instagram picture gives a insight to the torment she was going thru.
Just a young lass who misses her mum

RIP

[bexVN]

This really is such shocking news, she seemed to be loving life as a Mum, she seemed fairly open to having dabbled in drugs years ago but not liking it, certainly wouldn't have said she was a user but I obviously don't know her personally. I did wonder if possibly post natal depression after seeing her posts yesterday and knowing that her two boys are both very young. Just awful news, feel for the family so much right now.

[Jasandjules]

PND?

[ali_kat]

Post natal depression

Edited to clarify, this is not my opinion, it was in answer to J&Js question that is now on the previous page due to post deletions.
