slimsid2000 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I'm not talking about her family here who were obviously and quite rightly in grief. I mean the general public who never met the woman and probably gave her very little thought while she was alive. It's now just over nine years ago and I'm thinking of writing a satire about the reaction to her death in which Diana is represented by a persian cat and the Queen by a suburbian woman called Mrs Winsor.

NEKRO138 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Great. BBC and channel 4 will be fighting over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a ridiculous amount - to the extent that when the Queen Mother died, my initial reaction wasn't "that's a shame" but "here we go again" No idea about your second para though....there is plenty of satire on this subject available.

slimsid2000 Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Looking back on it don't you think quite a few people went a little over the top considering they didn't even know her personally. And what about Tony Blair getting in on it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Totally agree that the level of hysteria was absurd. Come on, most of these people were guilty of reading the anti Diana press weeks before her death. Although, Diana was a bit of a media whore and would have loved the attention.

Rich Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 What annoys me though is that 9 years on they're STILL investigating her death, let the poor woman rest in peace for God sake! I know it's not a very good comparison to make, but it's like all these wrestling fans in the WWE, they still keep banging on about Eddie Guerrero who died last October.. The man's been dead nearly a year FFS! Stop dragging his memory out and let him rest in peace as well. I tell you Vince McMahon is officially an idiot for allowing these anti-Eddie jibes to carry on.

taxman Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 My mate got death threats because he posted something on the internet to the effect that people should get over themselves and stop being hysterical about someone they'd never met. I'll remember it well. Me and my mates went for a lovely, peaceful walk in the White Peak when it was her funeral to get away from the wailing, gnashing of teeth and hanky wringing.
