A quick browse of Alamy also brings-up this:

The tone of the news reports is interesting - "people liked her", "apparent natural causes" etc.

Like they're hedging their bets in lieu of more information.

Famous people invariably tend to cark it on Sundays . Anyone noticed that? If I were a famous person I would live in fear of the holy day.

Let's tie her in a chair and dunk her in the pond. Not you lot though because you lot are perfect

Tbf it's generally the done thing to say kind things about the recently deceased, especially if you knew them. This is then exasperated in sleb land as you also have your own public image to consider/promote.

It's the only day the ferry runs to the Princess Diana retirement island.

What metaphor does dunking corpses in ponds pertain to?

Or, as is certainly evident today, you find nice things to say about their career and what they achieved, and avoid the realities of their personality.

That is my conspiracy theory fucked then

Not really. Facts generally don't affect good stories.

He may be, but if you read the article, it doesn't say what it says in the headline nor is the comment about her attributed to him either.

 

[tim]

are you sure about that? I've read his autobiography and he does mention joining the nf but he gave me the impression that although he was briefly a member he wasn't what i'd consider an active member - i do of course accept he may have painted this period of his life in a slightly better light than the reality!

He says he we went on marches and was registered as a candidate, which I would count as fairly active.

It wasn't meant as a criticism but as a retort to the "All famous Scousers turn Tory comment".

Hogging the prime time slot again I note.

Morgan is a cunt. Don't click on the link it's like Arnold Rimmer meets the 3am girls.

Only a urban RIP thread could get thread jacked into a discussion of Ricky Thomlinsons politics.

Why? She's already dead. witches and corpses float this will prove nothing. every witch hunter and urbanite knows that

I know a guy - he's basically alright - who has 30 years on the clock but still acts like a teenager.

Only one?

I've put in on Facebook. Should lose me a few friends. Need a clean-out anyway.

This can be in politics, she was a Thatcher-loving scumbag and made no secret of it.

(Another bright point to this might be that they show the docudrama with Sheridan Smith on telly again, Smith's singing voice and delivery are way better than the tory git herself).

perfection has long eluded me personally but I have managed to not defend nonces and worship at the altar of thatcherism.

We only do that when they're still alive you Fucking pervert.

mrs redcogs went through university in Liverpool. She joined the swp there i believe, and she also 'mucked in' with the Militant people when required (ie around the election campaign of one Lesley Mahmoud?). She distinctly recalls being at a meeting where Cilla's brother was pointed out to her as being a member of Militant. Apparently he didn't have much time for Cilla.

i don't know what truth there is in this. Maybe it was just idle gossipy stuff. Just thought i'd hurl it in the mix.

 

[redcogs]

For my generation Cilla was part of the background culture. Totally 'safe' in every respect. Inoffensive, uninspired, smiley, always there somewhere.
How sad that she bought into one of the most vicious governments of the 20th century. May she not get past the pearly gates for such a sin, and she certainly deserves not to.

I don't think I've ever not given a fuck so much about a celebrity death. Never liked her and as for being a 'great talent' !!!
