British person here, I was 11 and staying at my Grandma’s sleeping on her sofa. Woke up and put the TV on and couldn’t figure out why every channel had shows about her life on. My father, ever the anti monarchist said ‘why is this waste of tax payers money everywhere??’ Then we realised what had happened. Felt so…

Shoutout to the UK field hockey ladies, first time we had ever made it into a hockey final, and who won gold in a very tense penalty shoot out!

I’m ashamed to say I’m quite intrigued by this whole scenario. Surely it’s all one big stunt to show how easily the media are manipulated?! No? Hmm.

Not clueless, very accurate interpretation. Bingo!

I’m a liberal, remain voted in the UK who read your comment and screamed at my phone. Because it basically is as clear cut as you laid out! When/If you guys vote in Trump I wouldn't be sitting here going - ah well democracy hey? Good for the Americans, I'd be shitting it on your behalf too.

I just rage read this whole thing and probably won’t be able to sleep now. Why anything this cock womble says surprises me at all now I don’t know. Why can’t we ignore him and he’ll go away???

If you’re speaking about the USA then I guess it’s a business, but if this has been a global term then not so as we have public health services over much of Europe.

You’ve totally nailed it there. I work for a company that makes lots of these true crime TV shows, and as much as they can be really gripping and entertaining and in demand you do have to remember this is about a real people with real families. I admit I was totally addicted to Serial but then it does hit you that god…

Ugh, yes, let’s talk about how it’s YOUR mistake. Jeez, women can never win!

Very delayed reply - pavements!

Adopt it, try it out for a bit and in exchange I'm gonna say sidewalk for a while.

Blistex for the win too. The metal tube that annoyingly can crack in your bag, but is the absolute best.

Or fortnightly? That’s what most people say no?

In the New Year! Sorry, I’m a moron. I will go and sit in a corner and think about what I’ve done with the other non-readers of internet articles.

Umm what about the boy in Bodrum back in September? This was what really, finally, thankfully kicked peoples empathy into gear across Europe http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep…

Just saw this too, ughhhh so painful to read! Who is her PR advisor, so freaking ill advised.

Massively agree with this! Or after a tragedy I’ve had - but it’s made you into such a strong person now! Offensive because you’re implying I wasn’t before, and also I’d rather have my mother and be weak thank you. These are usually the same idiots who said it only happened because I could handle it. Which one is it…

There are, - humanist services, I’ve only ever been to non-religious funerals. Would definitely recommend them, along with non-religious weddings, and all of your other life events!

Which makes me laugh because these crazies all seem to forget that Jesus WASN’T WHITE!

Yup, feel very bad for ladies in Ireland. You can volunteer to be a host through abortionsupport.org.uk to donate or be a host if you live near a clinic (usually London) so women travelling here have somewhere to stay before and after.
