LOL Maybe the kind gentle person was a right twat but when they died the Family and Journo's didn't want to come across as twat's themselves so they just paid compliments to that individual.
Example:
A Blonde ex-nurse who lives around here in Bury murdered her 3yr old daughter, then tried killing herself.
Sorry but this is just a twattish selfish rag behaviour and although I've been in some depressive stages of my life never once have I thought: you know what, I'm gonna kill that little girl.
Yet all over the local/national press there was comment after comment and journalist analysis on what a wonderful person this lass was.
So if you want to leave a good legacy behind where everyone thinks your a great person? kill your kid.
