Anne Widdicombe Suspicious Death

[AClassicTrenchcoat]

Suspicious death, suspected murder. Think there is a press conference soon.

Yes her physical health was waning following a fall last year, that’s why she employed carers, as she lived alone. A very smart woman.

i just find the whole thing utterly shocking, no matter her physical health mentially she was very strong and gave a televised interview the day before she died,

im utterly shocked some 26 year old loser murdered her,and it will be for some pointless reason like he was robbing her as she was so elderly and lived alone. So an evil cowardly act.

Far more likely to be right wing ? Are you on drugs?

This is terrible

He was also laughing as the cameras cut to him and then he immediately starts going on about how she was a virgin

Fgs that is rank. Wish he’d just go away, why have men on with that stuff.

I get that, my husband isn't white he uses derogatory descriptions of himself as it takes the power away from those who would use those words against him. I'm not sure id find them appropriate if someone used them after his death. To be honest I'm not really comfortable with him using them.

Oh that is absolutely disgusting!

If he was genuinely “being respectful” he could have said “Ann described herself as xyz”. He didn’t. His exact words were “she was very much a spinster, I think by the end you’d describe her as an old maid”. Nothing about her own words or quotes from her there - it was all his own views. He’s a vile person.

I didn’t see this , but from what you say, I feel as enraged as you do.

I'm not sure what your point is, is it that people would care more about an old black woman? That's very unlikely.

I'm not sure how I can be any clearer.

I’m shocked then shocked again that it’s murder, I loved her on channel 5

I believe her death was announced quite early this morning (she was found yesterday) but initially just reported as her sudden death. It was only at about three pm that the media reported the police statement on foul play.

Agree that what Heather Herbert said was uncalled for. But he was a Labour MSP candidate, not an actual MSP (now in the Scottish Greens - they're welcome to him).

I didn't see that but to be fair, so you might be right if he was laughing. I can sort of understand the wish not to portray her as weak/vulnerable/a victim because she wasn't those things through her whole life and I suspect would not appreciate being portrayed as such. But equally, she was vulnerable by virtue of her age and a victim of a horrific crime. I don't know how you get the balance right between adequately portraying how awful her death was without letting it overshadow her life

Also, I suspect a lot of the in memoriam type pieces put on were maybe planned after her death was announced, but before the suspicion of foul play was known about. In which case jokes about her dancing on strictly etc would have seemed more in celebration of her life. With her possibly dieing under tragic circumstances they become less appropriate in hindsight.

That surprises me, in that case I was making a bit of an assumption here.

I’ve no idea what you’re on about either.

100% this. Something those on the left are in constant denial about.

You're coming across as someone who spreads misinformation.

A devout Catholic without a Christian bone in her body same as Mogg.

Wow. ‘Be Kind’ eh?
Someone has been murdered and that’s all you can say? If you hate her so much it really would’ve been better to say nothing.

I saw the Adam Boulton interview and it was striking just how sexist and uneccesary his language was. A female Reform politician was interviewed on Sky News in a later programme and called it out.

I am so sad about this, an elderly woman in her own home should be safe. She seemed a very genuine, no nonsense person, a sad loss.

The kind of nutter who makes targeted attacks on public figures is unlikely to have been aggrieved by Widdecombe's policies.

It's ok ladies, nobody is going to take you to be some awful Reform riff raff if you don't specify that you disagreed with AW on everthing.

It's certainly at odds with the church's teaching but then so is contraception and plenty of Catholics ignore that too.
