RIPs btw are a method of expressing sadness of someones passing
I was sad at the passing of Robin Williams Gene Wylder & quite a few others whom I did not know but doesn't stop me from expressiing my regret
This is about a man that suffered a cardiac arrest at our football ground
Read the notes from his family if you require any further proof how important it is to receive well wishes even if some of them are from people you don't know
If ever you spend any time in hospital you would come to realise [or in your sad case perhaps not] that such messages of support albeit spiritual tend to give you a lift even if only a small one
So why haven't you put up a RIP for Beatty then? Having missed the thread, you have now been told about it, so why haven't you taken the opportunity to express sadness at his passing? For that matter, as a caring person, why don't you peruse the obituary column of your local rag and then start RIP threads for other people who you didn't know?

What do you see as the value of a public expression of regret? What do you think you are achieving?

I don't know the chap who had the heart attack at Oakwell. I'm sure it was a terrible and frightening experience for him and his family, which is why I think it shameful that you use the incident to try to score points. You need to calm down for ten seconds, stop doing your angry Jack Russel impression and think for a moment about what you have been posting. If you do that, you should be ashamed of yourself, but I'm not holding my breath given your -oh so apparent - lack of any self awareness.

And none of this takes away for you 'fuq you' message to the poorer people in society who are likely to be disproportionately affected by and negative consequences of Brexit.
