Yep. There's been a bollock dropped somewhere along the line. It feels like nobody involved in the search was told about her specific vulnerabilities and then they over-shared in a panic.

This whole story has left me feeling a bit sick. This poor woman and her life have become "entertainment" for large parts of the British public. Discussing theories on Facebook, publishing lies about her personal life on TikTok, offering to sell stories about her, live TV shows about her, Wannabe detectives making assumptions and judgements, criticising and questioning policework to the point where they're interfering with the case. I find the whole thing vulgar behaviour.
My exact thoughts mate, which is why I included her friends and those who wanted to be seen as friends.
Police work is usually dull, painstaking and dramatic smoking guns rarely found. The least outside involvement is usually preferable unless directly requested. The police haven't been perfect, in this case, but they've been put under more pressure than was useful by friends, family, media, etc, diving in to criticise, etc.
It's a sorry tale as you say.
Absolutely brilliant that.This is absolutely marvellous

Two weeks in, and its coming on canny.Gonna start this monster tomorrow.....391 parts.
Box is massive, the kronenbourg is there for scale...but now its out the fridge it would be a shame to put it back (might take another pic with a nice single malt next to it....just for scale).
I reckon this could take a while....two or three months maybe.
I know it may seem an odd or boring hobby, but this is my escape....my "me" time. I find it very therapeutic...I can switch off from all the other stuff in life and zone in on this, even if its just for a couple of hours a night (just for clarity, im on about the model, not the Kronenbourg)
I haven't done one for a few months, been a bit occupied with stuff, but ready for this now.

A daring captaincy of Rashford this week has sent me into the top 3.5k players of Fantasy Premier League worldwide. Not bad for a game that has 11m players. I could have my own YouTube channel as an expert or summit.

Spain officials quit because of trains that were made too wide for tunnels
Spain's Secretary of State for Transport Isabel Pardo de Vera is among the top bosses to quit
By Tom Spender
BBC News
Two top Spanish transport officials have resigned because of a botched order for new commuter trains that cost nearly €260m ($275m; £230m).
The trains could not fit into non-standard tunnels in the northern regions of Asturias and Cantabria.
The head of Spain's rail operator Renfe, Isaías Táboas, and the secretary of state for transport, Isabel Pardo de Vera, have now left their roles.
The design fault was made public earlier this month.
The Spanish government said that the mistake was spotted early enough to avoid financial loss, but the region of Cantabria has demanded compensation.
Renfe ordered the trains in 2020, but the following year manufacturer CAF realised that the dimensions it had been given for the trains were inaccurate and stopped construction.
The rail network in northern Spain was built in the 19th Century and has tunnels under the mountainous landscape that do not match standard modern tunnel dimensions.
The mistake means that the trains will be delivered in 2026, two years late.
Renfe and infrastructure operator Adif have launched a joint investigation to find out how the error could have happened. Earlier this month, Spain's transport ministry fired a Renfe manager and Adif's head of track technology because of the blunder.

Magic. You wouldn't believe how often this kind of thing is beginning to happen mind. We're into the half-assed generation making big and expensive decisions now. They ignored call us old gits, nyerrr

I always hated the Fosse, bastards!
When did having conversations on loudspeaker become a thing? Some knob in train vestibule having a loud conversation with his missus. Prick
Irritates the **** out of me when I see people walking down the road with the phone held I front of them cause they talking on loudspeaker. Rarely see people with phon to their ear anymore.
My work phone can be funny through ear piece and have to often switch to loudspeaker to stop feedback/loss in sound. And I feel a right ****ing ring piece if I have to do it in public!

We're constantly told not to be judgmental.
Children are cautioned to treat everyone the same.
Yet virtually all TV is a popularity contest whether it's talent, cooking, dancing, singing, making cakes or pottery, eating bugs, jumping in a swimming pool, licking Alan Sugar's arse, etc etc etc.
I still can't believe people are glued to the TV watching grown men bake cakes or ice skate when they wouldn't walk down the street to watch it ...
... I'd loved to have seen them put 'Man making scones' on a Friday night at the welfare
