Caroline Flack - rest in peace

Will you get the fuck out of bed, put the iPad down and go and fire up the laptop, your posts are getting harder and harder to read :p

Acolyte 5 has spoken.
They've always been hard to read. I swear to God, a while back one of them even looked like her saying that Simon Cowell deserved a knighthood. Utter gibberish, you know?
 
It's terribly sad that she felt that her only way out was suicide, that decision must come from a very dark place. But those who now want a 'Caroline's Law' (yes, there is a petition for just that) seem to forget that she was on trial for domestic abuse and those very people who are calling for this seem to forget that, they would surely be the first to go for the jugular any man who committed the same crime. They cite her boyfriend as saying that he didn't want a prosecution, that he loves her, but that is the very same things female victims of DA say, which they seem to forget. This perpetuates the myth that the female is always the victim in these cases.

All this blaming the police and the CPS is utterly wrong, she was rightfully about to tried for this crime, as should anyone who commits it, male or female, and no excuse accepted because of someone's celebrity status.

By making CF out as a victim is wrong, and there is a danger here that male victims of DV, already unlikely to call for help or press charges, are more likely not to do so and allow the perpetrators of DV against men to continue to do so.

It’s two different issues. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone argue on here that she shouldn’t be accountable for her actions if a crime has been committed, there is no excusing domestic violence and that’s why we have a judicial system.

It’s sad that she, like so many people, was fragile enough to be damaged, as seems to be the case, by constant criticism or whatever you want to call it in the media and on social media. It’s a cesspit. But it seems everyone feels they are entitled to an opinion about everyone else
 
Cancelled show tonight but back on tomorrow with a tribute. After that should they should all pack up & come home?

Cant see it happening, money is king. Love Island is a money spinner for ITV with all the product placement and flogging plastic water bottles. No wonder they are doing 2 series a year now. ITV wouldn’t kill off the golden goose of Ant and Dec when Dec decided to go driving whilst under the influence. Audience figures count above everything unfortunately.
