Let dead dogs lie

A few days ago, the Express carried a front page lead on "new" clues in Diana death probe. I was in a newsagents today, and saw the front page---not a lead, but a big pic and a story about her love secrets. Give it a rest, you fuckwits. She's an ex-princess, she has ceased to be, she's joined the choir invisible.

How long can someone who hasn't needed oxygen in a decade be considered "newsworthy"? And is the Express (and Der Mail at times) just indulging in necrophilia?

When there is insufficient information/news/gossip to "report on", you know the media have to Invent something new to talk about. Even if the New is actually years old, they'll just reword it to make it sound new.

Yeah, but I think even all the little old, middle-class biddies will have realised by now that she's dead, and won't be coming back. So why doesn't Dirty Des tell his staff to stop fucking a dead woman and join the rest of us in the 21st century?

Agree. But many people seem to have an insatiable appetite for this sort
of guff.
I never got the whole Diana thing anway, and I despised all that 'I feel
your pain' emoting both by her and her fan-club. I feel pity that the press
and the Royals turned a nice-but-dim young lass into a needy,
manipulative harridan but that's about it.

Anyone seen Elvis, BTW?

Trouble is, the public still buy it, and Diana always sold papers

Complete tripe, and I don't buy papers no more.

I heard he's "popped up" in some unusual Lavs, after some boozy revellers had 1 too many curry's last night.

It annoys me that, even after months of abuse by the Eye and the fact that the Mail has cut back on some of its coverage, Asian Babes' downmarket stablemate is still wittering on about her.

Like JJ, I never understood the appeal. Maybe there was some mystique that we are unaware of. Or maybe, as I've suggested before, she was the most ridiculous modern example of The Emperor's New Clothes.

If it didn't sell papers they wouldn't use it

Thats not to say it isn't grubby gutter crap

I expect the conspiracy theories will go on for ever

Just like elvis
