Missing woman Nicola Bulley - inquest (P 158)

[york away to this!]

Of course we do, it’s part of what makes us human. We communicate and gossip. Our brains are wired to speculate, blame, theorise, whinge and complain. Whether we’ve not written it on social media or on here, we’ve all done it in conversation in the pub, in the coffee shop or at work. And most of us have received a joke about it within days or hours of the news breaking on our WhatsApp groups, as we do with all big news stories.

The Science Behind Why People Gossip—And When It Can Be a Good Thing

Turns out not all gossip is bad for you

Human, and perhaps even humane, opinion is a matter of fact for us all, of course.
The viral society's clamour for recognition and the seeming ability for ludicrous speculation based not upon facts to be recognised by some as fact - is rather odd.
The glamourisation and monetisation of death, murder, war and disaster makes me very uncomfortable - though the fact that I have an opinion perhaps adds to the whole shit-show?

It's always been the case going back to two neighbours gossiping over the garden fence. The only difference now is people's opinions can be instantly posted out there on social.media. As for mystery, murder and death they have always been big sellers and even glamourised. You only have to look at the abundance of books, films and documentaries on these subjects.

I don’t know if it’s been said but I think many (including the police) were assuming that after the last sighting of Nicola by the dog walker, she made her way over to the bench, where she left the phone and harness before entering the river. I’d say it’s just as likely that she left the phone on the bench, before walking to the area where she was last sighted and entered the river there.

In that case wouldn't the dog have followed her to that spot? The dog was found back near the bench where the phone & harness were and (I think) first reports said it kept going from the bench to the water's edge, perhaps showing where she had gone in.

Just a few hours after Miss Bulley's body is formally identified, parts of the verminous media have dropped the story from the headlines.

Just move on to make someone else's life a misery, without thinking of the destruction they've "helped" to create

After the body was found that bearded bloke with Kate Burley said he had been in touch with the family, then quickly and quietly said by email.

What an utter twat.

Social media makes communication a lot quicker but it's always been there.


"Over the Garden Wall", in which he played Fanny Fairbottom, a toothless hatchet-faced Lancastrian housewife gossiping over a garden wall. The caricature was reportedly based on his mother.[1] The one-sided conversations would embrace local gossip, including scandal about the neighbours and personal medical complaints, including silently mouthing words deemed too rude to be spoken out loud, and accompanied with a range of facial contortions and glances round for supposed eavesdroppers.[2

The media are literally the dregs os society, I always remember that twat P Morgan got caught hacking Milly Dowlers phone and others alike. They need a governing body to answer to.

Only a twat would be interviewed by that smarmy twat he’s fooking awful

I don’t think you can place much stock in the dog’s behaviour. Maybe went back to the bench because it spent a bit of time with its owner there. This is where the speculation has got a bit silly. If facts like location of last sighting had been focused on she may have been found sooner.
