For god’s sake.
All this performative grieving and ghoulish rending of clothes from people who have nothing to do with it is really disgusting.
Absolutely sick of seeing grief vultures filling MN with these dreadful threads competing about who can be the most sad and poring over every detail of it.
Yes, there does seem to be an awful lot of that sort of behaviour. I think it started with the death of Diana, when it seemed like the whole country, apart from me, was wailing and gnashing its collective teeth.
Tbh, I have not listened to the details of this child's death because I find things like that very difficult to deal with so tend to shy away from them. I
It's enough to know that he was murdered in an horrendous manner and know who murdered him. I don't need to know every detail of the last days of his life.
Apparently for a lot of people on MN however, every detail must be looked at and gone over, even discussing it with young children, in an 'age appropriate' way, of course.
And then, of course, they can discuss their upset and horror at the whole awful case; it's not about you. It's about the death and suffering of one small child.
I remember at the time of Jamie Bulgar's murder my BIL asking my opinion about it, I had young children of my own at the time. My reply to him was the same as it would be over this case, 'I haven't been reading about it in details because I know it will haunt me for months and nothing will be served from my knowing the ins and outs of the torture and death of a young child.'
And as for people needing a number they can ring so they can get 'support', what the hell?
