Cameron's son dies

[Rantor]

Oh for God's sake - fekk off!

Is there no humanity here?

There is often an abscence of humanity on this board (herd mentality, me-too bullying, irrational hatred etc.) I hope it is not really rperesentative of people in general.

The picture on the front page of the BBC sit really choked me up. I can't imagine how distraught they must feel.

Bogey : There you go again.

More bulltulip to cover your tracks.

Oh dear.

Is it BGG-baiting day today ?

I think I've got a Bogey on my tail !

I think the mods should delete the thread before it becomes another pedantic argument

My thoughts are if you don't like it don't post, or set up another thread to air your views. We shouldn't have to justify things like this.

Disagree Puss.

This thread gives a bloody good insight into the thinking and attitudes of some of the posters here - myself included I suppose.

This thread is bollox. Just another one of those Diana moments. Let's all have a good sob for someone we never knew.

Did you not feel a sense of "unease" witnessing the mass public outpourings of grief at Buckingham Palace, with the flowers for Lady Di ?

Yes, but it's not quite the same here.

I understand the point you're making, but here we're just sharing the 'poor bloke' sentiment that many of us rightly feel. In the same way we share the 'stabbity stab' sentiments about other issues on a regular basis. It's not a media frenzy, and we shouldn't overcomplicate this.

I do actually know David Cameron. Not best mates, but I do actually know him.

Your post is obviously an SP and designed to be provocative.

All I can say is get a fekking life you loser.

It happens every single time people let down their guard. I think people get used to the baiting so much they don't know when to let it go.

BGG, I don't think this is anything like the Diana thing, I agree that someone famous dieing is not more special, of course Diana was over-done, that was the media as much as anyone else (especailly the paper you like to buy). It's just the thought of it being someone fairly young losing a child, it could have been someone in the office, a friend or whoever. I'd still feel a bit sad hearing about it. I appreciate some people don't like emotional stuff, and the first reaction is to scorn. Thing is, sometimes you expect everyone will have a similar view but then we are all different.
