Is it me or is this country continually wallowing in sentimentality and ostentatious public mourning. It seems that everyday we have another reason to bang on about some event or other where people died or something awful happened. What happened to the stiff upper lip? We should try harder and search records for every day of the year and have a good old outpouring of grief everyday.
When Kate Spade's (me neither) death made front page news the other day I finally realised that the world (or the media) had gone mad. Even the English football team had black armbands on again the other night. Who the hell were they mourning? It's totally ridiculous.
Spot on as usual. I've never heard of that woman either. I also wish this country would look forwards, not backwards. All of these enquiries which take place seem ridiculous. There seems to be a new government enquiry every week!
