Could this Kirstie Allsopp be any more irritating

Kirstie allsopp is an arsehole! Honestly she really has no self awareness, Penelope Keith died on Monday, theatrical organisations used flowery language to describe her death, and Kirsty has to make it a huge deal.and about her own feelings.

Obviously some people care or they wouldn’t do the article.

As far as I am aware, some faiths use the term 'passed' because it means they have passed over to the other side, which is what they believe. I don't like it myself, but that is neither here nor there.

But when you are writing an obituary, it seems to me that the term 'died' can be used, but not constantly through the entire article. For instance 'With her passing, we see the end of an era' is fine. Especially if everyone reading it knows exactly what it means.

However, that is beside the point really. This woman has used the death of a much-loved national treasure for egotistical self-promotion, which is pretty low.

I find KA a bit obnoxious, but on this, I agree with her. Unless someone is religious, where do they think a person has passed to? We die, we don’t pass.

It’s only Religious if people believe that there is some sort of afterlife
Passed on ie to another life

‘Passed away’ or ‘passed’ has always meant to die or to no longer exist

but where have they passed to? I know it is used like that, but I’m not sure why you think it always meant that. It’s only in relatively recent times that it has been used to mean died. I assume it’s been adopted like this because people are uncomfortable with death. It doesn’t change what it is though!

That woman has a habit of inserting herself where she's not needed. She's best ignored.

Passed doesn’t mean they’ve gone anywhere
it means they no longer exist

Passed out for example doesn’t mean Theyve gone anywhere

It’s not recent either unless you mean in terms of the whole of human existence. The term has been around since at least the 14th century

It is irritating though. What have they passed? Wind, a kidney stone. Or maybe passing as white. She died, she is dead, perfect words that tell everyone what they mean. It is sad and she was brilliant. I hope her family are ok and coping with her death.

That 'dead at' thing is really horrible. Also, surely it only works if someone dies at a relatively young age? Not 'dead at 90' as if that's a surprise someone would die at that age?

Why is it? Its a fact, we all die eventually, we will all be dead. Passing, over, passing on is a nonsense, we dont pass anywhere. If a pet dies do we say it passes over? No, it is no longer a living thing therefore dead

It’s seen as common/lower middle class by some. (Her).

KA’s point apparently was PK’s family used word ‘died’.

Funny enough, in arabic BINT Means daughter

I agree with her.

I think she's a twat. I also think people who have lost loved ones can say what the fuck they like. Passed on, lost,died,passed away. It's their loss and their grief to deal with how ever they want.

Personally I can’t see anything wrong with saying passed away. Not something I could get het up about.

I agree.

Passed through the veil to the unknown… surely that’s obvious. They have passed on.. they’re not here because they’ve moved on.

I don’t see the issue

A regular acquaintance beckoned to my husband and I in a busy car park and said that she had lost her husband. “Don’t worry. “ We said. “We will help you find him.” She then had to explain that her husband was dead, not “lost”.

If one of my nurses came to tell me someone had passed through the veil to the unknown I would ask if they were feeling alright although I might also query if someone had gone in the store cupboard
No it is not obvious

The Daily Mail wankers have made an entire stupid article about a small comment she made on X.

But I’m with her as I hate the mimsy use of ‘passed’ and ‘passed away’. People DIE. They don’t pass anywhere and it shouldn’t be seen as ‘softer’ to use ridiculous euphemisms.

Passed through the veil to the unknown

😂😂 the what now?

Well nurses are not going to be saying it are they? It isn't a literal term .I actually agree just say dead or died
, but Kirstie allsopp venting her "rage" .about a tribute 2 days after Penelope Keith died is making it all about Kirstie and nothing about Baftas tribute or Penelope Keith's family and friends feelings, just Kirsties instant thoughts that she.felt she needed to share, that the rag picked up that gave Kirstie the attention she needed. There is a time to just shush and imo 2 days after someone dies is that time.

I quite like the term 'passing'. It implies moving from thislife to something beyond, which most cultures have some notion of, and could well be true.

Apparently her family used term ‘died’ which the media changed - hence the KA annoyance.
