    They put my best friends Dad dead body on their front page. He had just been blown up and what was left of his body was hanging out the car. This was the day after it happened and before his body had been returned home to the family. They still had the cheek to chase the family for an interview months after they done that. Scummy bastards.

  2. There is nobody with less morals than a tabloid hack journo.

    Except Royalty, perhaps.

    And “career” politicians.

    Dont forget the owners of West Ham, they are the biggest scumbags in football
    It is criminal what they have done to that club
    Compared to them Newcastle have been the best run club in the Premier league

    Title change. Something has to change in this country, people need to stop supporting the scumbag media and also stop being drawn into the idiotic social media arguments.

    RIP Caroline Flack.

    I couldn't honestly say I knew who she was, I had to google her to. I've never watched Love Island. Although I might have seen her on one of the after shows for the jungle. I didn't even realise it was her that was up in court.

    I turned the news on, I see SKY News is going to have it on repeat for only knows how long now.

    Thing is mate, programmes like Love Island are all about intruding in people's lives, it's called entertainment supposedly.

    My brother watches it and he thinks it's great. But then he's a perv and I'm not.<whistle>
    I'd only heard of her 'cos she'd twatted her boyfriend.
    I've binned social media, I've even stopped watching/listening to the BBC.
    I listen to music, watch football and for my dose of reality I venture to the not606 prem board :emoticon-0172-mooni

    I suppose the point is that it doesn't matter who she was. It's a semi famous person who was hounded to death by the media and the people on social media.

    sounds more like social media to me...She wasn't even semi famous.....She got into the news for smashing her big boyfriend, even though she was tiny.

    It's a cruel world, and social media is far worse than the papers can ever be.

    I always hear/read that line, it dosen't matter who she/he was, they were hounded by the media.

    She put herself in the spotlight, by hosting a show that puts people in the spotlight. She could have quit at anytime but chose not to. I'm not sure why I should give her more attention than any other person that committed suicide today. Mental Health is not taken seriously enough, that's part the problem, but if it makes it easier to blame the ****ty journos who contributed towards it, then that's fine by me. However, it don't hide the reality of the situation. If you subscribe to social media, you are likely to become a victim of it.

    She fronted the show just like Jeremy Kyle did his, and no lessons have been learned from the latter either.

    I think we are beyond its you're own fault mode. There's a huge increase in suicide and particularity teenage suicide. People need to stop acting the way they do on social media and that includes the red tops influence.

    The whole thing is tied together and utterly fcked. She hosts a show that puts a spotlight on people trying to raise their profile and income on social media, some of who have either attempted, or actually have, committed suicide. And now she has too. Social media is utter ****e. I was always relieved that my Mrs had no interest whatsoever in it. Most who are these days, I find are self-obsessed, shallow sheep who are pretty insecure in the first place.

    Sadly with Caroline, it's the usual old story, the help got there when it was too late. I could write you a story on it bro.
