Helicopter crashes into Clutha pub, Glasgow


The Master

Recommended Posts

That Katie Hopkins is getting a good bit of abuse on twitter regarding her insensitive tweets about Scotland's death rate tonight

Is she the non-entity that was on the Apprentice and seems to think her opinions matter?

I'd rather hear about people like Alleena Coupe - the lady interviewed on C4 who calmly led people out the Clutha with a torch, then triaged casualties - than the Z-list no-mark Katie Hopkins, who lest we forget didn't even have the courage to wait to be fired on The Apprentice.

Absolutely this.

This is something I've been thinking about.

8 dead, 14 in hospital seriously injured but (unless I've missed it) nothing about numbers unaccounted for or alternatively an indication that they believe the 8 & 14 are final.

They won't be able to do an "unaccounted for" list, because there won't have been a definitive list of who was there in the first place.

Can I ask why?

Because it is hard to imagine what is going through his head right now. He had stayed at the barrier all night waiting to hear anything about his dad and either the Bbc or Sky had a few seconds of him on camera standing alone looking absolutely gutted.

Just felt really sorry for him, and when I was out today and anyone spoke about the incident that image of him standing popped into my head.

Katie Hopkins is a troll who will write anything to get people to pay attention to her. Ignore her and she will disappear into the pit she came from.

She has been a guest on the wright stuff all week and the other panellists have looked like they could have gladly given her a good slap about every five minutes. She hates everyone who isn't her or her like,Scots are just parasites sucking the tax out of London according to this harpie.

Not looking good for that guy:

Katie Hopkins, Westboro baptist church and all the other morons are absolute oxygen thieves, same as the neds in the background at the scene smiling and having fun as it unfolded. These people have thankfully however in my opinion and that of many of my colleagues been absolutely drowned out by the support of the public, which for the victims, the police fire and ambulance been wonderful, I didn't go to the scene this morning but work with people who have and the thanks from passers by, the good wishes and strength sent from around the world has made us stronger. People have slagged folks putting messages of support saying they are useless and grief addicts etc but really what it's doing is showing the victims, emergency services workers etc that they aren't alone, which in our jobs we sometimes feel. Keep it up, everyone is doing their bit,be it dominos and Gregg's helping out, the mosques the passers by, the people who helped last night,people offering to give blood,glasgow taxis giving lifts to the hospitals and all the other fantastic gestures,every little thing helps here, it restores faith in humanity. If your miles away and want to help there is the various police benevolent funds, or donate some money to any other charity, give the rescue workers and families of victims a boost send your support. I thought Jim Murphy was outstanding last night, it's not very often we see that side of a politician and having seen incidents whereby people are seriously injured I can relate to his reaction and disbelief, it was genuine. I am so terribly sorry for anyone who has lost a loved one or isn't sure what's happened or even had to watch it not knowing, a horrific accident which will no doubt haunt most involved for the rest of their lives. My views on this are my own.

Great post.

So every time there's an incident we should do a headcount of nearest and dearest before we post? It's tragic for those involved, exaggerating grief and shock then carrying on as if nothing happened is more insulting than the odd smart remark.

I haven't posted anything with grief or anything nearing grief in it,at 12 and 1 o'clock nobody on here knew for sure all those important to them were safe, I prefer to keep my powder dry rather than act the c**t in that sort of situation, I'm not even criticising people for having a wee joke, in adversity Scottish people often share witty banter.
