TP was harmless I feel a bit sorry for her and struggle to give a shit about class or wealth to be honest when it comes to this sort of thing.

"Fuck her" from Bahnhoff, and "no loss" from Bellend, are examples of barely concealed glee. Let's not kid each other.
No, you're right there is no glee, just a bit of who cares. We always have the same dance when someone controversial dies.
I knew 3 things about this woman before she died. She was born into extraordinary privilege, she was beautiful and she was a massive wreckhead. The combination of the 3 made her famous and the only reason any of us have ever heard of us. It would seem somewhat bizarre to avoid discussing those things after her untimely death.
I dunno maybe she loved her mum or volunteered at the donkey sanctuary or something. Maybe she used her extraordinary privilege to make the world a better place, maybe her £400 a day habit put a dealer's kid through school, I just don't know. If anyone here personally knew her or was a massive fan (for what reason I don't know) then sorry if its affected you, but really shrug and move on. Comparing it to the loss of someone personally known on these boards seems a bit of a stretch, when that happens people here act out of respect for posters who personally knew that person, which is the right thing to do.

1) What maomao said, who's showing 'glee'
2) As I said (although you seem determined not to read) It's not just she had access to that wealth but that she did not see anything wrong with the state of affairs that enabled her to live a life of luxury while others in the same country are struggling.
The part in bold clearly relates to the part you haven't bolded, keigthy's nonsense clearly does imply that.

What absolute crap. Keep bluffing

If you think that's glee you must live an incredibly emotionally flat existence. It was absolutely hyperbole on your part.

I've read it. YOU are living a life of relative luxury whilst others are struggling, dying too. What does "in the same country" have to do with anything, other than being convenient for you?

Well I guess you must just be really thick then because that'e twice that you've missed the important part of that statement - that she did not see anything wrong with the state of affairs
Spymaster

What a silly edit (he added in "keep bluffing").
I don't think anyone else is fooled.

How do you know that?
Do you see something wrong with the inequality between your wealth and that of millions of others? If so what are you doing about it?
What about all of the Urban75 drug users/restaurant frequenters/holiday takers ...? Do you believe that they see "anything wrong with the state of affairs" to which they are party? Any comment on them then?

No I don't think anyone is fooled by another one of your pathetic wind ups.
I'd say this is more like glee at someone's death

1) I never stated that anyone was showing glee. So I'm not sure why you are asking me to qualify that. However, Spymaster has answered that prior to your post. Perhaps you didn't read it
: 2) I really don't know anything about her political views or about any of the charitable work which she may or may not have done. You seem to know a lot about her though. Can you provided a source to support your claim that she didn't see anything wrong with the current state of affairs, as you put it.
3)
you're going to have to be a bit more clear.

That's definite glee.
The difference is, I'm honest about it, and perfectly happy with being known as "the bloke who exhibited glee at the death of an axe murderer".

I wasn't. I quoted and responded the Spymaster. That's why it says his name in the quote.

Why are you comparing responses to TPTs death to that of dictators and terrorists*. It's totally bizarre. She was a rich women who had a history of drug addiction not a mass murderer
.*Not that I agree with why Spy said in that instance.

I haven't. I posted an example of what glee at a death looks like is as opposed to the 'meh, who give one' of belboid and BS.

Yes, but I would have thought it was pretty clear which points were directed to SM and which to you.

Nah. Actually. When I replied, you hadn't quoted that bit initially so it wasn't clear at all.

There's a 12 step group called CA which I went to for a while few years ago. It did not discriminate between people who were trying to recover from different forms of the same drug. The great thing about those rooms (all over London) was how non judgemental they were; I never once saw resentment or dismissal even though some people were homeless or had just got out of nick for the 6th time for doing whatever they had to do to fund their crack habit and others had just blown their bankers bonus getting the finest peruvian powder delivered or whatever. The shared experience of the abject misery of addiction was what mattered and made the whole thing work. Going there massively improved my perception of human beings capacity for empathy and genuine friendship across the divides of class wealth etc.

You posted an example of glee at the death of an axe murderer, to support your bullshit that your mate Bellend was only "meh" at the death of a woman who hasn't hurt anyone but herself. Which is fucking bizarre, even for you.
You idiot! redsquirrel

(2) The life she led, the luxury, the mingling with Royals, the fact that in all the vacuous nonsense she wrote, all the interviews she gave she didn't use them as an opportunity to mention the huge imbalances of wealth that exist in the UK or worldwide.
I've no idea what (3) refers to.

I liked Belboid's post and didn't find it gleeful. You have such longstanding beef with him that you can't even bring yourself to use his actual screen name so wouldn't really trust you to give an unbiased reading of what he posts.
Bahnhof Strasse 's posts were pretty neutral until he was attacked for not showing the correct level of respect for a dead cokehead. The 'fuck her' was only in response to that criticism and fair enough IMO.
