Thanks Daily Mail, for pointing out what a criminally inappropriate reaction to a girl's death that was.
The correct response would of course be to use her picture to sell your newspaper for a couple of weeks, and send a bilious columnist to retrace her steps and write an opinion piece about it.Comment

Is this guy any different than the likes of Frankie Boyle? I believe Jimmy Carr had a bit of an issue with a tweet he made about 9/11. Chubby Brown has made a career out of this sort of thing.
I suspect we have all made a bad taste joke or two too.
Should he really be going to prison for this?Just saying like.
where there's chaos, there's cash !
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

The scene at the beginning of the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy lands her house on the Wicked Witch of the West and then the whole town bursts out in 'Oh yes the witch is dead' while dancing on her grave is just pre-internet trolling. I don't think the Wicked Witch of the East was too happy but should she have kidnapped Dorothy and imprisoned her? No.
Over the top in my opinion.

Saw a chap last week, he wasn't very tall but he had this huge head and very wide build with huge muscled arms covered in tattoos, looked just like some character in an online war game. Maybe there is something they are catching from being online too much. I always did reckon it would only be a matter of time before computer viruses started affecting people.Is his head somehow disproportionately large for his body?bloggoth

18 weeks does seem a little excessive when GBH might only get you 12 if you get locked up at all.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
