I don't feel exploitation is necessarily the right description for what happened. I can see a parallel here with Princess Di's funeral service.... massive out-pouring of emotion, contentious 'sermons', music performed by great artists with revised lyrics... off-spring and other family members under the spotlight... we're not so different here, really. Add to this the obligatory US evangelical/showbiz element and that's what we saw last night.

slightly off topic but I think the media is ignoring the number of suicides by distraught fans. There was a tiny tiny article in the london lite (couldn't read it i was peering over someones shoulder so only saw the title). Found this but it seems to have been sort of ignored and I personally feel it's far more tragic than Michael dying.

I totaly agree that they must have been a bit 'not quite right' (npt that anyone is right/normal) i just think it's sad (especially for the families of the people who killed themselves) that it's kind of been swept under the carpet whereas the complete opposite can be said for the funeral of jacko.

I caught one minute of the whole vile performance, the last minute. I too feel sorry for her, very strange behaviour that a family who wanted "privacy" would then put a microphone to the poor child.

I watched some of it ( I quite liked Stevie Wonders' conribution). Was there any in-put from his parents? Obviously that are elderly now and the relationship with his father has been much talked about. Am I the only one who thinks perhaps his mother had a part to play in the person he bacame?


Seeing the grieving family on stage together just seemed somehow odd. A bit too 'stage managed', perhaps that's the real problem with the person lying in the silver cask.

My fave jacko story involves me telling a huge jacko fan from work who believed that jacko was innocent because he would never ever abuse kids, that that he should stick to sh*ggin chimps because they dont talk. I was just fed up with her going on and on and on abt his innocence, which was based on the fact that he could never do it because he loves children. she didnt speak to me for weeks- which was great.

Please Hugenot - remember the man did 'Thriller' (27 years ago).


Surely we can turn a blind eye to these paedophilic bits and bobs?

'As part of his trial he revealed that he lay on the bed with boys having got them drunk, and taught them to masturbate'.


Really? I never knew that .


Does a paedophile have to actually touch a child to be convicted? What about online child porn ?

So, if he was cleared, and they were right, he must have had the emotional maturity of a child which would indicate a personality disorder .

Thanks Jah Lush .


'They see the gentle Peter Pan who never grew-up and only feels happy in the company of innocence.

I see the fcuked-up grown man who has a stash of porn and gets a buzz out of teaching kids how to w*nk.' Bob, Yes, your right , so should he have been convicted for this ?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
