# I was rissing so I checked the news.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck. One more reason, as if I needed another, to hate the royals.

Woo to the pic, though.

# I don't think the royals have been directly linked with the murder

# Indirectly perhaps
If this one wealthy family weren't still perpetuating the myth that they are better than other people, the pregnancy would hardly be deemed newsworthy, let alone front page news. If it wasn't in the papers, the radio hosts wouldn't have tried to make what started out as a harmless topical prank call. And if the media weren't trying to milk every last headline out of this pregnancy, there'd be no articles demonising the nurse, publicly shaming her.

Nobody's to blame particularly.... just our fucked up British class system. :)

# Sorry - utter bollocks you are spouting.

# Did the paparazzo actually bother her?
Don't think she was even named in the papers before her death and I can't imagine there would be much of a story from her perspective.

If anyone, I'd imagine that most pressure would have come from hospital management looking for a scapegoat.

That said, Mrandrist makes a good point:

# Your point and Mrandrist accepted :)
... perhaps I over-egged the Pap-point when I should have said 'popular media' which is becoming increasingly singular about tiny points of interest...
For example Radio 5 Live played her voice multiple times on their various trails throughout the days (my fave radio station due to lack of shit music) ... mainstream media
played her voice on the news bulletins while the story was 'funny'.
All I'm saying is that ... an unecessary death was caused and two bloody kids have no mum.
