Just let it die with dignity. We all know that Fanta is the last thing any person with functioning taste buds picks up when they're buying a drink. |

Fanta is ok, its Club you gotta watch out for. Club Zero tastes like adding paracetamol to orange juice.

I hope someone has archived all the crap produced by the Tik-Tok twats from previous days when they were experts on other things and uses it to against them to show what knobs they are.

It's been a real bad-taste clusterfuck.
1. Police say she fell in river.
2. Every journalist, arm chair expert, and twit-tocker™ spend two weeks laying into the police about how this isn't possible, and apparently why women senior officers shouldn't keep fit and wear dresses.
3. Police find body in river.

What’s the keep fit and dress bit?

The Mail (of course) did a breakdown of what the senior detective was wearing, calling it a "cocktail frock" and "why wasn't she in uniform". Missing the point that uniform isn't worn by detectives, and that it was basically professional attire. Scumbags.

I should’ve known.
There must be a way to erase that cancerous carbuncle from Britain.

Can confirm - detectives wear smart formal because, shocker, they're detectives and don't turn up to 999 calls.
Such a sad story all around with everyone laying into the police, family, etc. I can imagine if they knew now what the reaction from the public would be, they would have acted differently.
I'm told my family had door knocks from the press (nationals) about a family member's murder and this is back in the 80s.

This is my absolute favourite. She cant help but pop the Daily Mail gutter language of 'showcase' in there. Im just surprised she didnt manage to squeeze in 'leggy display'.
Absolute vermin and who needs men when you have women like this so eager to tear each other down?

Glad to see the responses to that tweet are a resounding "fuck off"
Sadly, I actually rather hope she believes her bullshit because I think it's worse if she doesn't and is purposefully trying to stir up hate on such a dumb level.

Its kind of fucked up that everything is now a rorschach test but it is always reassuring when you see this kind of bullshit and think 'it just looks like a picture of a copper to me' rather than, say, immediately taking offence because you can see someones arms like youre Amish.
Or, I dunno, one of those wacky muslims you are always complaining about for forcing women to cover up.

The statement from the Bulley family that has just been read out on their behalf will have caused some concern at boardroom level.
Sky and ITV got it with both barrels.

Apparently Kay Burley literally retraced her last known steps - twice - and then broadcast from a graveyard.

Apparently a medium found the body. That's something straight out of a Peter James novel.

I haven't paid much attention to this, and it seems good that I didn't. I don't really understand how these people get paid but presumbly there's some demographic of people lapping this shit up?

Given the woman in the next street with 9 of the bloody things, that policy may be a winner around here. |

Do local media have awards where the prize goes to the most unreadable/unusable website? It's like they just throw out 30 years of good web practice to cram in as many adverts as possible. |

*Private Eye now always refer to Reach as Retch, because their treatment of staff and other practices make you want to.
