Anne Widdicombe Suspicious Death

[AClassicTrenchcoat]

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

I think it's now all the more important to stop the endless speculation and let the police do their job...

He had a UK passport. Welsh is not an official nationality, so whether Welshness is purely ethnicity or not is a moot question.

I think it’s fairly easy to argue that it requires rather more integration than just being born within the principality, and that someone of African parentage and who has downloaded Islamist terror publications and then set out to murder little girls at a dance class may not be “Welsh” in any very meaningful sense of the word.

Almost regardless of what happened, my concern now is that this is going to be spun by Farage et al into an attack on Reform

Which it may be, of course, but I do worry that this view will be pushed even in the absence of evidence

Are you kidding me?

She was a hate filled bigot. LGBT, immigrants, non- Christians..anything that didn't fit into her warped version of Christianity.

She was a nasty piece of work who tried to cover it up by being an 'eccentric' media personality.

That is awful for the family. I didn’t realise they had said that about her final moments.

evrybody wants their loved one to die comfortably in a bed. Nobody deserves a death from violence, not even women who devote their lives to public service and their faith - I’m horrified by the way she has been represented online.

That scrote Herbert is vile.

Which is why I think they quickly said the original suspect was white British (whether rightly or wrongly).

Sure, you're 'allowed' to say it, but is this the right time and place? How about showing some respect? It's not that difficult.

Do you think Peter Tatchell and Heather Herbert are hate filled bigots?

She wasn't a bigot, she had religious views as do many.

She certainly didn't try to 'cover anything up'. Why would she, she was happy to debate her points. Politely too, which is more than be said for the hate filled frothers.

Wholeheartedly agree - but it doesn’t necessarily follow that it won’t be spun as an attack on Reform. Blame isn’t just placed on “them forriners”, just look at the vitriol against the “loony left”

It's very easy to write things a keyboard warrior.

There is a time and place.

It's just tactless to write this kind of thing less than 3 days after a woman was murdered.

Imagine if her family read this.

Would you be so vocal to their faces at this time in their lives?

Heather Herbert is vile I hope he's sacked (if he even has a job) and Tatchell omg I've just seen some of his previous comments about children consenting to sex. How are these people even given a platform?!

I suspect that is always the case, my uncle fell and died at home alone and the police were called, my MIL died alone at home from a stroke and the police attended. Partly at least just to make sure the house was secure. We were called both times by the police.

OP / @MNHQ would it be possible to correct the spelling of her name, please?

It's time like this when social media is at its worst.

It's also debatable whether the thread should be closed down.
This is not the time or place to start ranting about what you thought of her.

Have some sensitivity.

Yet again the "LGBTQ¥¢®§¶" Blah blah blah loons show us how much they all hate women , especially older women who refuse to be doormats. How very dare pointless old women have opinions? They are a nasty bunch aren't they.

Shutting down discussion is exactly what they want. That's why there's the deliberate derailment.

What is the correct amount of time for people not to share views or feelings about someone after they die?

Well, they arrested someone but have now released him.

I didn’t agree with her politics - but I admire that she stuck to her principles, admire that she never accepted so much as a free cup of tea from lobbyists etc and admire that, away from politics, she could laugh at herself.

Poor woman - what a horrible way to end your life.

Oh would you please, for the love of all that's holy PACK IT IN.

Start your own thread about a tragic case of domestic violence. The partner/husband has been arrested in South Africa. I doubt very much that local press coverage assisted in that.

It also has absolutely nothing, NOTHING to do with the suspicious death of a former MP, MEP and TV personality.

Nothing.

@MNHQ can you do something about this?

It's disrespectful to the families and friends of both female victims of violence.

You don't sound very nice yourself. Filled with hate towards somebody you don't even know who has just suffered a horrible death.

Exactly. You can say she was kind and polite until you're blue in the face - she may well have been, but she was a defensive, inflexible, unrepentant and extremely nasty politician in power, who did some extremely petty things. She'd have done worse given half a chance, given her support for the death penalty.

Politicians' personal and professional lives are two different things. I'm not for a second claiming that their actions were morally equivalent before anyone jumps on this, but Hitler was driven by very strong ethical principles in his personal life. Doesn't make him a good person, does it?

The far left are an unspeakable bunch, quite without any human decency. 😡

She had different opinions to you, doesn’t make her a hate filled bigot. Look how some of the left are celebrating her death today. They are the ones filled with hate

Just shows how difficult it is to counteract some things once they get out there and become accepted as truth
