Gosh, how sad. (100% sarcastic) [[https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/ian-watkins-dead-lostprophets-paedophile-36052854 https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/ian-watkins-dead-lostprophets-paedophile-36052854]]

Good. I hope he suffered.

Good, hope prisoners close ranks and don’t get more time- thank you for your service prisoners.

I hope he saw it coming, I hope he was afraid, hope he felt the life drain out of him.

That prisoner cut his throat over a drug debt. He didn't care he was a pedophile, they are selling drugs, assaulting and killing people, because they can't pay. They'll do the same when they get out again. They have made our prisons even worse and prisoners will be coming out even more violent and mentally ill. No doubt most of the same men think they have the right to beat/rape/kill the women in their lives, because she isn't doing exactly as he wants. The prison guards have lost control and that isn't a good thing.

So go on then, how do you think they will “close ranks”

You want vigilante mobs in our prisons? Why?

His Wiki page has been heavily edited and then semi-protected from early afternoon. My mate told me he got a text from a 'contact' in law enforcement well before the news officially broke, so insiders must have been spreading the good cheer almost immediately.

It's not often I say I'm glad someone was murdered, but I can make an exception.

Child abusers never get an easy time in prison.

ohfourfoxache · 11/10/2025 19:39

Unfortunately it’s not unusual AT ALL for people to be murdered in prison. The entire service is horrendously pressured, and mistakes happen

I’m sure the staff will be reflecting on what has happened, and I don’t envy them the job they have to do now

Having said that, it would be disingenuous to say that there will be an outpouring of grief over what occurred. Professionals have feelings too

Even if you didn't get it from my OP, I very swiftly clarified and repeatedly did so thereafter. I'm sorry if I caused you any confusion but I'm hard pushed to think of any regular person who would actually grieve the passing of this particular person.

Surprised it took so long to be honest. With the disgusting crimes he committed I can’t imagine he’d go down well with the other prisoners.

Well I doubt the people locked up with him were prime examples of morals and values either.

CountryQueen · 11/10/2025 19:31

You’ll be out clapping on the doorstep for them in a minute. “Service” indeed.

How do you expect they will “close ranks” and not get more time? They know who committed this particular murder. Do you think we will just not bother to prosecute him cause “thank you for your service” 😆

Of course not. 🙄

I have a very strong stomach for this sort of thing due to the nature of my work, but I cried reading the court transcripts of his trial. Truly truly evil. I am very very glad he is dead and I hope he suffered greatly and was as terrified as the baby boy he raped.

Me too. I really regret reading the court transcript (well, part, I couldn't read the whole thing), even worse than the stuff they were able to mention in the news. Truly evil as you say. I so hope those poor children don't remember anything.

SAD? He conspired with a woman to r*pe the baby she was pregnant with.

Good. Dead pedos can’t reoffend.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 11/10/2025 19:33

I heard it on the radio news, no idea who he was / what ' pop ' group he sang in but I did hear what he was sentenced for ! So no loss to society,

TBC99 · 11/10/2025 19:33

I mean, I understand and sympathise with the prevailing opinion; he was clearly despicable human being, but is no-one even slightly concerned that someone can be murdered whilst in prison?

CountryQueen · 11/10/2025 19:32

NotyouGuillermo · 11/10/2025 19:29

Maybe now they could re-record though, now he has no claim or gain.

Show quote history

He didn’t have any “claim or gain” a week ago, nothing has changed in that respect.

I'm hoping they might have passed on.

If you're glad this happened to Ian Watkins, are you also in favour of capital punishment? Because you really can't be of the 'hope they turned a blind eye' brigade and also oppose the death penalty, can you? Or is murdering a monster okay if a prisoner did it? I'm also reminded of David Blunkett's comments about cracking open the champagne when Shipman killed himself. We should just be honest and say that none of these bastards deserve to live.

I would be for capital punishment if it wasn't for the fact that there are miscarriages of justice, and an innocent person may be killed.

Watkins was someone who certainly deserved it.

(ETA - for certain crimes like this one)

Honestly, I'm no great wit. And I'm not the smartest but I like to think I can work out sarcasm when I see it, especially in this context. For fuck's sake.

It was clearly sarcasm OP.

For the love of God, even if you genuinely felt I was gutted at the death of one of the worst paedophiles in living memory you could read the whole thread and see me state, repeatedly, that I was - yes! - being sarcastic.

Good lord.

Good. I felt sorry for his band mates as they will never get royalties because of what that depraved man did. No radio station will play their music.
