31st August will see the 10th anniversary of Daina's death. The question is, do any of us actually care about it now? How did you react when she died, and do you feel embarassed now if you (like me) signed a book of condolence?

 

Personally, as a big an event as it was, I don't care its been 10 years, and I will not be watching any of the plethora of TV programmes commenorating it.

I didn't care when she died tbh, she was not a friend or a member of my family or anyone that had any effect on my life

 

To me she was just some pampered celeb who was dumb enough not to put on a seatbelt

When it first happened I was a bit shocked, but not to the extent of weeping and wailing for weeks on end like some folks. Mind you mentioning this reminds me of Sir Elton John...................................... <_<

couldnt give a s*it....

Yeah I remember all the mass hysteria in the media and tv programmes cancelled and wailing in the streets and all those flowers rotting outside Kensington Palace and that bloody book of condolences, what was the point in the book ? its not like she can get out of her coffin and read the bloody thing yet some saddos queued all night and more to go and sign it :manson:

 

The reaction to her death was totally over the top

 

 

 

**that is not aimed at you Matt ;) I am talking about people that in some cases queued overnight or more to sign it, I know you didnt ^_^**

I know :lol: I have no idea now why I signed a book. What a fool I was!

There was a book of condolences? :unsure:

 

I was very young when it happened, it really didn't bother me at the time and it doesn't now - it does shock me however at the big deal that's been made about it for the past 10 years. Have we gone one week without a Princess Di story in the papers, in TEN YEARS? It seems like the answer to that is a definite NO :lol: We've even got Paul Burrell out of it! That's the effect her death has had... <_<

 

To sum up, it's now gone way beyond simple reflection on her life - she's being made out to be a Goddess and it's just weird imo. Tragic and everything, but just weird behaviour.

i dont really remember much when it happened, all i remember is being pissed off becuz i put the telly on to watch cartoons and all that was on was the bloody news :lol:

 

 

i was watching summut on tv early in the morning (well...breakfast time) when my daughter called me as shed just got back from america. she said 'what about diana'?, i said 'i couldnt care less if shes dead'....'she is' replied my daughter...lol...

At the end of the day, a posh bird died in a motoring accident (and it WAS an accident, I dont wanna hear any conspiracy bullsh!t...) and the world had to stop.... Erm, WHY...??? Okay, she did some good works for charidee and what have you, but really, I just dont really get what was so amazing about her...

I really never understood the fuss, even when she was alive. She was a fairly priveledged person, treated badly by her husband, but she was hardly a saint either.

 

It's sad she died, but I really do not get why her death is somehow more important than pretty much every other death in the past 10 years. It's not.

 

I do feel embarrased walking into the newsagents and seeing the likes of the Express featuring yet another of their daily Diana headlines. It's morbid and it was in the past. I feel even MORE embarrased when I see people actually buying into the c**p and procaliming her to be a heroine.

 

I'm ashamed to say my family was one of the many that made the little pilgrimage to London to pay tribute to someone we never met. I wasn't even a teenager at the time, so I think I should be forgiven though.

My dad always said she was 'living the Playboy lifestyle' when she died and spent her whole life acting up for the press. I never quite understood what he meant by the former comment, and disagreed a little bit with the latter, but I never mourned and people who are still doing so ten years on need to get over it.

I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard. Me and my then boyfriend had just arrived in from a night out rather the worse for drink and were having a bit of a snogathon in the living room. The telly was on in the background and the news came on. Boyfriend was quite upset because he kind of fancied her. :rolleyes:

 

I thought it was quite sad. Mainly because she had young kids and it's always sad when someone young dies in tragic circumstances. I watched some of the news the next day but that was about it really. Not being a Royalist, she didn't mean all that much to me and I can't say I was overly affected.

 

I didn't sign any condolence books and I didn't watch her funeral. I thought it was all a bit OTT mass hysteria to be honest. :mellow:

The reason Diana is worshipped by the British media is due to this major factor:

 

1. Richard Desmond is the owner of the Daily & Sunday Express and the Daily Star & Star on Sunday. He is of Jewish origin and holds anti-Germanic and anti-monarchy beliefs. He is also a very good friend of the owner of Harrods Mohamed Al Fayed. Hence every day you will find some variation inside of Daily Express a story along the lines of "Saint Diana"; "Evil Camilla"; "Diana was carrying Dodi's child when murdered"; "MI6 cover up", etc.

 

2. Rupert Murdoch media magnate owns News International which includes The Sun; News Of The World & The Times & Sunday Times as well as BSkyB & Fox Network in the USA as well as several publishing companies. Rupert is an Australian who was well known for supporting Australia's attempts to become a Republic and getting rid of the Queen as the Head of State within Australia as he too is an anti-Royalist.

 

The reasons for all these conspiracy allegations is entirely down to whom owns the media, hence the worshipping of Diana 10 years after her death (especially as the media are the ones with Diana's blood over their hands). Especially as even now she is used as a big stick to beat the Monarchy & Royal Family with. If a TV programme or book is released to claim that Diana was NOT killed in a car accident then you can virtually guarantee that the owner of the publication is linked to Rupert Murdoch's multimedia domination.

 

(I'm not going to go over again the whole Death Of Diana and conspiracy theories are rubbish in this thread - However I expect it will crop up again as the 10th anniversary passes).
