But to all the other posters, who are prepared to rip someone apart when they die, please join softus...................

It's a real shame, I really liked his poultry products.

You rave in other topics about how vehemently you oppose the death sentence for convicted murderers etc, yet here you are, grateful, nay, gleeful for the death of someone whose life was spent bringing laughter to others.

Double standards?

It's a valid point ninebob, but I think the comparison is misaligned. There are no circumstances under which I ever would have sentenced Bernard Manning to death, and I never wished him dead when he was alive, but I would have been pleased if he'd changed his ways. The fact that he wasn't prepared to do so means that I'm pleased that he's no longer able to continue sowing the seeds of meanness and watering the tender shoots of hate.

Notwithstanding that, if my comments have offended anyone who isn't racist, generally xenophobic, fat-ist, misogynistic, or who revels in Schadenfreude, then I hereby apologise to that person.

nice to know were all on a level playing field then!

At a recent charity dinner, he approached a friend of the late Queen Mother and said: ‘One corgi turns to another and says, “Thank **** the Queen Mum’s dead, now we won’t be blamed for the smell of ****."’

It's only a joke, I guess we can say what we like about him. It's only a joke.

I won't speak ill of the dead, I'll only speak good.

He's dead. Good.

It's only a joke.

Well that's a bit misguided - did you fail to spot the black irony in solo's opening post?

But to all the other posters, who are prepared to rip someone apart when they die, please join softus...................

Hang on there - my opinion of him didn't change when he died, and I've ripped him apart many times before. If I've never done it on the forum then it will merely be because I forgot.

It is your preference that we should lie about the dead, or just shut up about them? Neither option seems very honest to me.

Although it pains me, I'm with Softus on this one. I have no problem with speaking bad about the dead what so ever. If they were a sh*t hole in life, it doesn't change my opinion when they're dead.
Having said that, I can say that I have no issue with Bernard - sure he made racial jokes, but he took the rip out of everything - he didn't just target one group.
If there's a gap in the market, someone will fill that gap. You can't blame him for that.

I find it distasteful that when some one dies, a bandwagon is created where people, through the anonymity of the internet, post cruel and snide remarks.
Would you repeat them to his family at this time..........?

No I did not miss the "PC irony" at all, but it was clever and gentle.

BOB D.O.L.E.........graciousness seems to become you.............

I'm happy to repeat the remarks to everyone I know, without any anonymity at all.

Would you repeat them to his family at this time..........?

No - that would be unnecessarily unpleasant to someone who has done nothing to harm me, during a time of grief. Actually I don't see the relevance of your question.

Ah, so it isn't the sentiment that you object to, just the manner of delivery.
