AIBU to think this is not news?

It seems they have an angle or am I wrong?

No its not news but then again I have no idea who Gary speed is/was 🤷‍♀️

Well tbf, if it’s news you’re after, MailOnline probably shouldn’t be your starting point.

I agree. She should be left alone to get on with her life. @Bolduser12 Gary Speed was a footballer.

Who even are these people?

I do think it's rude to say 'who are these people?' Just because YOU don't know who they are doesn't mean others aren't interested in their story. Always annoys me!
Gary Speed was a footballer who died by suicide a long time ago and his wife, this lady, married again and he then sadly died from cancer. A very sad story so it is lovely news to see her happy again!

did you expect to find a news article in the Daily Fail?

That's what you get for reading the Mail

letmegooglethat.com/?q=Gary+Speed ffs just because you don't know who he was, no need to be rude.

It’s intrusive and gossipy. The poor woman has had enough sorrow in her life. I wish her well, but I didn’t need to know.

Me neither.

For people who don't know Gary Speed was a Welsh footballer and manager who sadly took his own life a few years ago.

Well I kiiiiiind of agree, in principle...

but in this instance the accompanying picture looks as if she's all for letting everyone know how happy she is right now

😂

so true

"FFS" seems a little rude

It's not "news" news no but it is one of those sort of z list celeb/link to a celeb interest stories. I don't know if she does much media work.

Whatever. Personally I think it sounds like she's been through a hell of a lot and I'm glad she's happy.

And there's always some sort of snide angle....

I think they're implying she's marrying men for their money.

Daily Mail reader slags off the Daily Mail

Why bother with it then? 🤷‍♂️

I'm not a Daily Mail reader. It was a pop up on my Facebook page. You're more judgemental than the article!

Of course you're a Daily Mail reader

Just because something pops up on your screen, you're not forced to read it.

There's plenty of shit popping up all the time. You only read it if you're interested.

You were interested enough to read it and start a thread about it.

Your choice obviously, but at least own it?

Are you the police or something? Or do you think you're psychic because you seem to think you know me. Stop causing member conflict.

Member conflict, what a great phrase! 🤣🤣

You read the story in the Daily Mail ✅

You started a thread about the story you read in the Daily Mail ✅

You linked to the Daily Mail ✅

Why on earth do you need to be psychic to realise you're a Daily Mail reader? 🤷‍♂️

Really not sure why you're so offended?

To be fair, daily mail articles occasionally pop up in my ads too. I just ignore them because I have no interest in being a daily mail reader. You clicked on this and read it, which was your choice. I would argue reading a daily mail article does indeed make you a daily mail reader.

And Mumsnet wouldn't be Mumsnet without, ahem, "Member Conflict".

This is my thinking too.

Yes, I occasionally get Mail on line, or Mirror, or Sun appearing in my feed, and, like anything I'm not interested in reading, I scroll past it.

I can't help thinking there's a lot of judgement of me for having the audacity to open a news article, read it and discuss it. Some of you are trying to insinuate I'm a terrible person for clicking on it. It's ridiculous. But that's AIBU for you I guess!
